"In less than a minute of total run time, a full minute is consumed by the sound of a cat's meow, which carries no intention or meaning. This repetitive sound is forcefully inserted not only in the intro and outro but also over the chorus and rap parts, quickly inducing fatigue. More importantly, it robs the members of their voices. While it seems Teddy wasn’t involved in composing the track, the quality is shockingly poor for a debut song from a girl group launched by a label bearing his name. The overall combination of the bass and kick drum is simple, and when paired with the identical structure of both verses, it falls flat. The 30-second break left open for showcasing choreography dulls what little impression remains. The monotonous rhythm, inaudible lyrics, hollow repetition, and one-dimensional progression are all missteps. Caught between wanting to project an image and delivering a message, the track achieves neither, leaving only a vague form. One bright spot might be Gawon’s vocals. However, the song is too weak to let the individual members’ strengths shine. Why is a catchy hook song that will soon be forgotten prioritized over good music that lingers and invites repeated listening?"

It’s only in English, so it’s not fun.

Couldn’t last until the end, it’s a mess.

It doesn’t seem like it deserves a one-star rating, but…

I just had YouTube Music playing while lying down and it was really a jazzy style, but the song wasn’t great. I checked the name thinking it might be a new Bemon song, but it turned out to be a group created by Teddy… I thought it might be similar but expected something different, so it’s a bit disappointing ? But it’s only the beginning…

I thought it was "yo-yo-yo," but it seems to be a cat sound.

I was surprised when I first heard it, but the more I listened, the more okay it became. However, it seems like they didn’t care much about the quality of the debut song. Why was that..? A good debut song would attract people to listen to the next album…

It’s bearable as you keep listening.

The more you listen, the more sophisticated and better it becomes.

I can’t listen for more than 10 seconds, so I can’t give a full review. I tried twice, but couldn’t listen for more than 10 seconds.

I’m curious how this was confirmed as the title track.

It’s been a while since I heard such a boring song and music video.

I was expecting a lot from the name "Teddy," but stopped because it was boring. I was shocked to see that the music video is so short. Even though it’s short, it still feels boring.

Seriously, the song and concept are terrible. Even if fans try to act like cats, it seems pathetic and objectifying. I don’t get why this is being done. The lyrics were so funny when listened to. I would like to listen to Gawon’s vocals and tone again, and she’s a member I’m interested in.

The song doesn’t make an immediate impact when first heard, but it becomes addictive as you listen more. Especially, the choreography is really well done, which makes the song even better.

Actor Song Kang Ho shocked fans by revealing the surprising reason he initially turned down the iconic role in Joint Security Area (JSA).

On February 4, the movie JSA was celebrated as a "Visionary" work at a special GV (Guest Visit) event for CJ ENM’s 30th anniversary at CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. The event was attended by director Park Chan-wook and stars like Song Kang Ho, Lee Byung Hun, Lee Young Ae, Kim Tae Woo, and Ko Kyung Beom, who shared stories from the making of the film.

Joint Security Area, a groundbreaking film by director Park Chan-wook, tells the story of North and South Korean soldiers caught in a tragic incident at the border, highlighting the human side of the divided nations. The film has been widely praised for changing the perception of inter-Korean relations and is seen as a key moment in Korean cinema.

During the event, Song Kang Ho admitted that he turned down the JSA script at first, saying, "The script was just too perfect. It was so well-written and tightly woven that I couldn’t believe it. I thought, ‘Is this really Korean cinema at this level?’ I felt it was too good, and I figured the movie wouldn’t live up to the script."

He also mentioned that at the time, Park Chan-wook’s previous films hadn’t done well, which made him even more doubtful. "But after meeting the director, I started to trust him," Song Kang Ho added.

Reflecting on the film 20 years later, Song Kang Ho joked, "I was flipping through channels and watched JSA again. I thought, ‘There was a time when I wasn’t envious of Lee Byung Hun,’ but he looked so handsome and cool back then." He continued, laughing, "One thing about Park Chan-wook's films is that they have a depth and elegance that you just can’t forget. It’s probably why his new movie is called I Can’t Help It."

Song Kang Ho also spoke fondly of reuniting with his JSA co-stars after 25 years. He shared, "We didn’t watch the film together, but we had a cozy two-hour dinner. After all this time, it felt nostalgic. It was heartwarming to sit together again and reminisce about the past. It really made me realize how meaningful these moments are."
