Reactions are flooding in after BABYMONSTER's release of their highly anticipated new song, "SHEESH."

On an online forum, netizens voiced their various opinions on BABYMONSTER's latest song, music video, and the choreography for "SHEESH," the title track of their long-awaited 1st mini album 'BABYMONS7ER' featuring all seven members of the YG rookie girl group. 

This music video has already garnered nearly 10 million views within hours after its release, and comments from K-netizens past midnight have reached over 600 entries on a single online forum alone.

Many drew comparisons to BLACKPINK, and some also expressed preferences for the rookie group's previous release, "Batter Up." However, amid the diverse reactions, praise for the choreography and unusual hook emerged, with some hailing the release as "certainly exceeding expectations."

Opinions widely divided over the song's vibe and the MV's aesthetic, which  netizens thought "did not reflect any progress from the usual YG style." More positive remarks centered around the individual members' talents, particularly in rapping and dancing.

Reactions include:

"I can't wait for the AI version of BLACKPINK covering this"
"If this were to have been recorded by BLACKPINK, with a different MV, then the song would have garnered more love"

"I love it when Chiquita is the center"
"I love it so much"

"It's like BLACKPINK...nothing more or nothing less"

"If this had come out 10 years ago I feel like it would have been an absolute hit"
"This is so much better than what I expected, and I keep listening to the song"
"The song is catchy! I think I'm gonna keep listening to it"
"The choreo is much better than I thought and I think the members are talented"
"I get that the members are talented, especially the rappers"
"Why does the MV look cheap while simultaneously looking like they spent a lot of money on it??"
"I am even more frustrated because it looks like they spent a lot of money on this MV lol"

"Just the usual YG style..."
"This MV looks more like a choreography version MV than an actual MV..."
"Oh dear....where have all of YG's good vibes gone..."
"I don't like the song"
"Am I the only one who prefers 'Batter Up'"

"I don't know why people are hating on this, I like it"
"Please just change the MV director and the producer. Then we're good"
"I can't even spot Ahyeon in the MV..."
"This is soooo much better than I expected"
"It's clear that the members are talented but there's something missing here that I cannot pinpoint"
"I can't tell their individual voices though...they escape my memory afterwards, which is a bad sign"
"Am I the only one who is really bothered by that 'sheesh!' sound?"
"I am so sorry, but I just can't listen to that 'sheesh' sound for very long..."

The author is being far too generous with the comments. K-netz aren't reacting well. From the source link in the article:
