An unexpected detail that many people noticed was the inclusion of a plus-size friend among the group of friends in the music video.

Many netizens noted that it isn’t common for someone who is plus-size to make an appearance in music videos.

The inclusion showcases different body types that are often not seen in K-Pop media.

Additionally, it gives the music video a realistic feeling of real friends hanging out.

When one netizen took issue with her appearance in a viral post, she was immediately defended in the comments.

• “Is the world only for skinny people?”
• “I can understand if someone notices body type first when they see things like that, but people who actually say it out loud, mock others, refuse to accept differences, and sneer at them just come off as insincere.”
• “I think they just wanted to show a vibe of everyone having fun together, regardless of appearances.”
• “Shouldn’t they be allowed to appear..? It’s better than only stick-thin people showing up.”
