Uh someone doesn't seem to remember their debut, which was roundly criticized at the time as lackluster, rushed to distract from an SM scandal at the time. They easily redeemed themselves with their second song where they added the final member, and have certainly become legends since then, but let's not lie about that debut.
This is revisionist history at its finest.
