Netizens highly praised the performance itself, saying things like, ″Seoin-young got the best response and totally rocked the stage,″ ″She looks coolest when singing and dancing,″ and ″No worries about her live singing.″ Interest in her preparation process also followed. Seoin-young revealed on her YouTube channel ’Seo In-young, who has turned over a new leaf’ (Seo In-young, who has turned over a new leaf: Reformed Seoin-young) that she lost 4kg over a month, reducing her weight to about 46kg, saying, ″I really only ate eggs and protein,″ and ″I felt so dizzy because I ate nothing.″ She also disclosed that she underwent liposuction under general anesthesia for her upper arm line. Regarding her outfit, when the production team asked, ″Are you dancing wearing only underwear?″ she replied, ″Yes,″ showed her waistline directly, and said, ″No belly fat. It’s an ant waist.″ There was also mention that she spent her entire appearance fee on preparing for the performance. Comments about this preparation process included, ″She practiced dancing a lot and even had liposuction for Waterbomb. Truly great effort,″ and ″It’s amazing and cool that she completely let go and then shaped herself up that much in a short time.″ On the other hand, comments on Nam Yoo-jung’s stage video were mostly of a different tone, such as ″She shined more when she was in the group,″ ″Looks like she doesn’t work out at all,″ and ″If that’s the case, why did she join Brave Girls?″ Some questioned whether it was live singing, with comments like ″Is it even lip-sync?″ but the actual lip-sync status was not confirmed. On the 21st, Nam Yoo-jung mentioned her Waterbomb appearance on the YouTube channel ’Tip’ (Tip: Ttip), saying, ″Many people were curious. They were wondering, ’What song is she going to perform?’″ After leaving Brave Girls in 2024, Nam Yoo-jung started acting and this was her first solo stage at Waterbomb. She said, ″Even when I was in the team, I never released a solo. On one hand, it’s a burden, but on the other, it’s enjoyable to be on stage again after a long time.″ She recently released a remake of Park Myung-soo’s ’Prince of the Sea’ and is about to release a remake of Uhm Jung-hwa’s ’Invitation.’ After the performance videos were released, some netizens left comments directly comparing Seoin-young and Nam Yoo-jung. One netizen wrote, ″Seoin-young did liposuction and ate only eggs for a month to perform at Waterbomb, but this person seems to have come comfortably.″ Although they performed on the same stage on the same day, the reactions in the comment sections toward the two were very different.
