From the very beginning, Karina had her hand on Eunchae’s head and kept smiling. It was cute because they genuinely looked like close friends.

— Viral post on Pann

The TikTok spread on Pann, where netizens pointed out how cute both idols look interacting with each other.

At the same time, some pointed out the animosity between both groups’ fandoms and others even suggested Karina shouldn’t associate herself with Eunchae.

• “Karina must seriously have a really nice personality. She seems to be friends with everyone without being picky about it. Hong Eunchae, Kim Chaewon, An Yujin, Yeji, Ryujin, Han Sua, Sullyoon, Kim Chaehyun, Irene, Seulgi…”
• “Just from watching, you can tell the members all seem close with each other across the board. It’s obvious Karina is really fond of Eunchae, and Eunchae likes Karina too. Winter and Yunjin also keep meeting up separately… The fighting only happens in online communities between fans of both companies. The idols themselves just genuinely look close no matter who watches.”
• “Fans are always fighting with each other on Pann, but meanwhile the actual idols are friends lol.”
• “Even seeing this, some LE SSERAFIM fans still talk badly about Karina behind the scenes. Honestly, it’d be better if she wasn’t associated with them.”
• “Eunchae looks so happy while smiling LOL she’s seriously so cute.”
