The cover triggered some very opposing reactions from fans and not fan. The fans praised Jisoo’s raw voice, praising for his hard work in perfecting the pronunciation of the texts and selling off on his unbelieved images.
His voice is so pretty, it is not surprising that he was immediately accepted https://t.co/NGUDT4JUCZ

On the other hand, many also criticized Jisoo’s voice, which implies that they were not sufficient for debut as an idol.
