Many admirers praised her dedication and loyalty, with comments highlighting her unique position as the sole After School (AS) part to stay with Pledis. Others expressed surprise at her consistent choice to remain with the agency, given the potential interest from other companies.

Concerns Over Pledis Entertainment’s Artist Management:

Despite some positive responses, numerous observers expressed apprehension about Pledis Entertainment’s history of artist management. Critics pointed to the agency’s reputation for inadequate promotion and potentially detrimental career impacts on their artists.
