The members all have a unique and distinct personality and vibe. However, netizens are not fond of their visuals.

• “Why do their eyes all look like they’re on something…?”
• “Why are they opening their eyes like that?”
• “LMAO”
• “Why is the space between their eyes, nose, and mouth so wide? And why are their eyes like that? Why… why are they like this???”
• “Seriously… ha… Who designed these characters? Why is the forehead so big? And what’s up with the eyes…? ㅎ… Even with a little bit of basic anatomy study, they wouldn’t have drawn them like this. Is it the designer’s fault, or was the request just weird…?”
• “Can they open their eyes properly?”
