Yet, while many fans were excited, some hit back at the nature of the release.

In particular, netizens said they wanted new songs and hit back at some hits she has performed that are not on the album for fans to stream.  Some even hit back at Jennie’s management through her company, citing the break she is set to take following her upcoming activities.
