Its recent YouTube the video mentioned his comment on G-Dragon’s new song.
While he praised BLACKPINK Roséthe new song from “APT”, featuring Bruno Marscriticized G-Dragon’s song, “POWER”.
Even though I respect G-Dragon, his new song was below my expectations. I usually like everything he releases, but with this album I felt like I could compete with him if I released an album at the same time. I’m not saying I don’t like it, and it doesn’t matter. We are simply different.
—Lee Ha Neul
He also used this part of the video to create a short video titled “GD Is Below My Expectations.”

With this, Lee finally deleted the statement regarding G-Dragon from the video and deleted the short-form video.
However, responses from netizens were divided as some felt there was nothing wrong with expressing an opinion.
- “This song is below average, though? Lee Haneul probably could have made a better song.”
- “It is below expectations. There isn’t a single part that stands out.”
- “What do the comments mean? It’s okay to say it falls short of expectations. But it is wrong to use it and derive short-form content from it.”
- “It met my expectations as it produced a fresh and trendy sound. ‘Home Sweet Home’ also shows a different rap style, so I was hooked immediately.
- “I hope all his songs do well.”
- “Why don’t you get the point? It is disrespectful for an industry expert to use this as influence and create short-form content.
- “Why does he say it is below expectations while sitting at home? He’s just using G-Dragon.”
- “He says it’s bad because it’s bad. People can’t say anything these days.
