In the studio, live, and acapella versions of the song, she puts on the same stellar performance.

Netizens are even more impressed as she’s the youngest member of the group.

However, Korean netizens were opposed to the comparison. Many left comments believing the post was forcing virality by comparing the two idols.

• “I’m a Stray Kids fan, but I don’t think so. Please correct it.”
• “Is she a Chinese idol? The proportion of Chinese content on the HOT board* is getting bigger, lol.” [*T/N: Korean forum on theqoo].
• “So you’re saying the deep cave-like voice feels similar to Felix’s. Listening to it, I kind of get it. Then you should at least add something like ‘the voice’ to clarify.”
• “Where…? Oh, the voice…”
• “She reminds me of STAYC’s J.”
• “Felix has become a standard point of reference now.”
• “??”
• “It’s just a mid-tier group though…”
