Yet, many netizens defended Jisoo, with some saying that this was what they wanted to hear from the idol and that she had been held back at YG Entertainment.

Teddy needs to stay away from my woman fr he wasted so much of her time when her voice has always had this potential… 😭 https://t.co/ib42PuZl0D

THEY’re really saying they’re gonna listen to it because “Zayn’s voice covers Jisoo’s voice” when in reality their voices just blend so perfectly together and the harmonization makes them melt into each other, trying so hard not to admit the collab is amazing 😭 pic.twitter.com/Lmsoi1r46z
