Immediately followed was the sequence that was the most talked about on Simver. In two short movements, the girls obscure every member's face except for three before revealing them all. Eagle eyed viewers also noticed how the members who eyes were unobscured were the members with "main" positions. The main dancer, singer, and rapper.

But it's not just the title track inspiring awe in viewers, it was also the stage for their b-side, "Pepe". Instead of specific moves and formations, Pepe started conversations for much simpler reasons. There weren't many screenshotable moments, but the choreography was high energy and perfectly executed. The girls provided such charismatic performances with the flourish added to their moves and their expressions.

Immediately, the comments were filled with awe and amazement of how stunning the music video was and curiosity at how much the video costed. Even the impressive choreography added to the sublime feel of the video.

The music video gained so many views it broke the record for the most views in the first 24 hours. They once again went viral, the top two searches on Simver being "Hush, Baby" and "PZSN".

Along with that, one scene of visuals Cheon Bomi and Kim Yumi is being screenshotted and shared online. It features the two standing among the beautiful scenery. According to Netisims, they're the scenery.

Cheon Bomi's proportions- face and body- are perfect. There's nothing to improve.

I'm not hip on how photoshop or editing works nowadays, but there's no way that's the girl on the left's real waist, is it?

Yumi is truly a bunny. She has a more sexy aura usually but she's so cute here!

Kim Yumi is such a natural. She's beautiful and made for the camera.

-Were the sentiments of the top comments on a popular blog post of the picture.

But it wasn't just the overwhelming beauty of the music video that caught Netisims' attention. The song was described as delightful, an ear worm, and the perfect pop song. PZSN's main vocalist, Baek Bohyun, showed yet again just how skillful she is with her singing. Not only her skill, but her versatility. Her voice went from bright to sassy to serene all in one song.

As mentioned before, the choreography took the audiences breath away with it's intricacies. It was choreographed by Choi Junyeong, a popular choreographer that worked with all the top idol groups, but mainly PZSN's predecessor, Ki-Ti.

Netisims seemed to be just as excited, especially Jigsaw, Puzzle Girls' fandom. It is the first time the public has seen these girls all dolled up, or at least in a long time.

Speaking of which, a lot of attention was on Baek Bohyun. Previously a member of A.B.D which was the first group made by the Lucy Llama Club, many were anticipating Baek Bohyun's return to the idol industry. A lot of the public was re-introduced in Piece/By\Piece, but even more learned of her reemergence by this very photo. Many were rendered speechless by the soft elegance Baek exuded in the photo. Her long, wavy tresses framing her gorgeous features made the teaser image the most talked about image in the bunch.

The second most talked about image is obviously the viral visual herself, Cheon Bomi. The words "is she real?" started trending on Social Bunny the night the images dropped. Netisims didn't know where to start, her proportions, her tiny waist, her fair skin, her large eyes... the list goes on. You can't see her entire figure, but her small face and slender neck and legs give you the impression of a tall, thin, model-esque physique. One viral Social Bunny post saw it fit to clarify that FROST's Mirae looks like a doll, but PZSN's Cheon Bomi look like a fashion doll come to life. Head to toe.

Lastly, Netisims were pleasantly surprised to see leader Ahn Yeseul's beauty in her teaser. Many online echoed the sentiment that she was reminiscent of one's first love in high school. They expressed they knew she was pretty, but not to this extent. This s why most people understood the addended positions.

Speaking of the positions, the positions were originally revealed at the end of Piece/By\Piece, but when the official profiles were posted following the teaser images being posted, they were different. For one, Ahn Yeseul was added to the visual line while Park Byeol was removed.

It took the internet a while, but they finally deduced why the trainee named "Hwang Dayeon" looked so familiar. In a shocking turn of events, two of the former A.B.D members have reemerged around the same time. Commonly known as "D" and the maknae of A.B.D, Dayeon hasn't changed much. Other than the fact that according to Netisims, her beauty has grown immensely as she blossomed into a young woman (julie note: I hated writing that).

Many comments were made regarding the other less familiar trainees, but one stood out. Hayashi Ami shocked Netisims with her porcelain white skin, tiny nose, and charismatic eyes. Her strikingly small frame and attractive figure was brought up as well.

Surprisingly, the debate for "prettiest LLRookie" became very heated and ended up derailing the discussion. Most Netisims boiled it down to different tastes, but others simple couldn't let it go.

Myeong Jieun is like the smaller, cuter, and more innocent Myeong Gaeun [1443, 12]

Both Hayashi Ami and Jin Jiyoung have amazing figures. Such tiny waists! [1320, 4]

I used to insist B was the prettiest in A.B.D.... if only younger me would've known how pretty Dayeon would become. Dare I say older Dayeon is prettier than older Bohyun? [1530, 108]

Ami omg... how can someone be so white? Is that even possible? [1234, 5]

Myeong Jieun is like a baby doll, Hayashi Ami is like an anime girl, Hwang Dayeon has the perfect idol look [1007, 8]

It's up to your personal taste, Hwang Dayeon immediately caught my eye. [900, 102]

If we're talking head to toe best looking? It has to be Hayashi Ami. If we're talking strictly facial beauty? Myeong Jieun. She's cute or whatever but Hwang Dayeon's not even in the discussion. [1143, 129]

Hayashi looks like a lizard, Hwang clearly relies on makeup enhancement. Myeong Jieun not only has the purest and softest look but her features are all perfect. Oval face, petite but attractive nose, plump lips, and gorgeous big eyes. [1399, 410]

Other than the fighting over the prettiest trainee, there has also been an outcry that this discussion is happening at all. People asking to just compliment the girls and leave it at that or why people care so much about looks.

Responses varied from utter agreement to vehement disagreement. Some think Bohyun is too young, some brought up mistakes Yeseul was making during dance practice, but one reply outshined others. Getting nearly as many likes as the original:

"All Yeseul had to do was speak to each girl to make them feel welcome and change their entire demeanor. It's clear a lot of you have a very naive view of what it takes to be a leader. It takes more than experience and skill to talk down a room of anxious and chaotic musicians."

What do you think?

The net was up in arms about another member, Park Byeol. Originally a unanimously loved member, she divided the new fandom after being repeatedly corrected during dance practice. The conversation got so tumultuous that it branched into sub-controversies. Two of the more notable ones is the fact that she was the only member to not prepare anything raising the question of her having any talents at all. The other was debating whether or not she's worthy of being in the visual line over none other than Ahn Yeseul.

It got so bad that any posts featuring Park Byeol on their new Simstagram have the comments turned off.

Overall, the public seems excited for the new girl group's debut. Whether it's because they're Ki-Ti's first juniors or because they instantly fell in love with some or all of the members.

The housemate ended up being Baek Bohyun, the center of A.B.D. If the name is unfamiliar to you, you may have been outside of the young adolescent age range in 2008-2010. They were a group formed for the Lucy Llama Club.

Seeing her brought back a lot of memories for those young adolescents who are all grown up now. They flocked to different spaces online to share their memories:

Oh my gosh... she was my first love

Me and my friends would fight over who would get to be her when we were pretending to be in A.B.D hahaha

I was hoping she'd perform again, she always had something special!

I got into arguments that seemed very serious at the time about claiming B as our girlfriends LOL this makes me want to reach out to them again

I got that haircut because of her... it didn't look the same

Furthermore, Netisims who were familiar with her and weren't familiar were very impressed by her professionalism. Her vocabulary was robust and her speaking very formal. It made a good impression on most viewers.

In Kim Yumi's episode, the trainee compared herself to a hamster which is famously the animal used to represent Lee Nayoung (A.K.A Nalina) of Ki-Ti. This was met with a very small amount of pushback. Some people light heartedly suggested that she looked more like a bunny. Others didn't see the hamster resemblance and immediately attacked her for trying to latch on to her senior for fame.

However, after seeing Lee Huiyeon, people begun to see a slight resemblance between the two. Netisims began playfully referring to the two as siblings, Kim as the exuberant older sister and Lee as the understated younger sister. Fan art even started to emerge before the two had even been confirmed to meet.

Since Lee Huiyeon's resemblance to a hamster was undisputed, people reexamined Kim Yumi's claims. While having two people in one group both referred to as a hamster was considered confusing, the general consensus became that Yumi's official animal should be a bunny and Huiyeon's should be a hamster. In turn, the public have created the "hamster line", consisting of Kim Yumi and Lee Huiyeon and the original hamster, Lee Nayoung.

So when people saw the outfit she wore in a more recent stage, people were pleasantly reminded of Lee Nayoung's days in Ki-Ti. Netisims also thought it fit the concept and song. By not going full classy-princess with a floor length ball gown and instead rocking a short, stylish dress, many saw this as a compromise.

The sass and charisma was still there, but she added that elegance that was not only requested from Nayoung but the industry at large according to Netisims.

The two most popular members in terms of beauty so far have been Ahn Yeseul, the host, and Kim Yumi.

However, when today's episode was released it wasn't just the overwhelming beauty of one Cheon Bomi that garnered attention. It was her humble personality and good outlook. Her name trended almost immediately and people scrambled to watch the video, crashing SimsTube.

Once the site was back up, the video was #1 on trending.

Holy sh** [15034, 234]

Her proportions are good too. She's almost too perfect... [14239, 138]

I need her to drop her skin and haircare routine. Her hair is so thick and long... and I don't think she's wearing ANY makeup. [15649, 420]

I wish I looked like that in a sweater and jeans... she looks advertisement ready [16293, 532]

Ahn Yeseul is right, her name is just as pretty as she is. It's kinda f****** annoying lol [14034, 334]

And Myeong Gaeun's sister is going to be in this group too? Between Cheon Bomi, Kim Yumi, and Myeong Gayoung this group is stacked visually. [13239, 402]

I can see them through the shirt teehee [1024, 16439]

BLÜM Entertainment's has now grown in subscribers to keep track of the group. It is also reported that this week's episode of Running Sim has tanked in viewership because it ran around the same time this was all happening.

Many thought the skirt was an inappropriate length and lamented over a perceived "lost innocence" of the 2nd Gen Sims-Pop idol. Being the maknae of legendary group Ki-Ti, she was always seen as a cute, pure idol. Her solo debut enforced this vibe with a wistful sound, short bob, and doll-esque styling.

From people simply being at the concept change to people theorizing at some sort of dark transformation, there is no shortage of disappointment.

However, "Love Myself" is still doing very well, outperforming her debut's initial reception in sales and initial chart performance. The song even performed a PAK like her debut and like her group is famous for doing 9 times in a row. So far, it seems like online discourse has also been dominated by overwhelming support. The criticism, while apparent, is not the majority opinion.

Netisims believe that the change in concept is exciting and enjoy the sassy, quirk-filled elements of this comeback. If you recall, the concept of the music video also garnered mixed reactions. However, people are referring to the contentious elements as eccentric and iconic.

Here's what Netisims had to say exactly:

I knew she wouldn't let us down. This is Lee Nayoung we're talking about. [5129, 472]

Is it weird to say this feels like a classic? [5001, 450]

Nation's It Girl for ya! [4720, 403]

She feels even more deserving of the "Nation's It Girl" title now. [5034, 723]

Ki-Ti strikes again! I can't wait for Im Yebin's movie this year! [4037, 37]

The outfit is STUNNING. I've never thought of buying clothes because of an idol but maybe this time. [5536, 834]

That skirt is kind of iconic. The whole thing actually. [5938, 1100]

*sigh*... another good girl gone bad. [2384, 1340]

That skirt is a little too extreme. [2143, 1422]

This looks like something Myeong Gaeun or Im Yebin would wear for a solo. This doesn't fit our baby hamster at all! [1732, 1420]

Times are really changing for the worst. She used to be someone I'd want my daughters to look up to, now she's influencing kids to dress like that. (edit: why are you downvoting me?? one of the top comments are proving me right!) [1420, 1204]

With the combination of the teaser pictures and the music video, Netisims deduced that the meaning of the song and visuals is NALINA wanting others and herself to love her in all her multitudes. Whether she's all done up, in outdated styling, in her natural state, or a cartoonish costume.

However, some Netisims were put off by the scenes of NALINA feeding her younger self. Some people expressed discomfort of the romantic gesture when she would have been 17 at the time, others felt a romantic gesture was strange period because it was with herself.

NALINA took to social media to clarify the gesture was never meant to be romantic, only a platonic act of affection toward a less confident version of herself. She claimed it was meant to symbolize self care and healing old wounds.

Overall, the quirkiness of the music video was controversial. Some sims didn't like it, especially compared to the sincerity of her solo debut, but to others it solidified her as the It Girl of Sims-Pop.

Before she was identified, she was known as the "bare-faced beauty" from online posts and a trending search. Once she was identified, people recalled the series being posted to BLÜM's official YouTube page. Mostly the fact that there are seven beds in the dorm and this video features more than six girls and that all of the members haven't been revealed yet.

That has never been confirmed but the fandom for these girls is still going strong. Especially after the reveal of the second housemate, Park Byeol.

Some viewers mentioned how touching and relatable the episode was, happy to see Yeseul and Byeol talk about how scary being an introvert can be.

However, most viewers were praising how beautiful they were even without make up. FROST was even brought up but only so they could be compared unfavorably to these girls. With the recent photoshop controversy, people were thanking BLÜM for showing what these girls actually look like.

But BLÜM was also met with frustration at the lack of close up shots of the girls. Because of this, there are no high quality images for the internet to fawn over. Just blurry, zoomed in screenshots from the videos.
