Source text - English
Though many have pointed out the queerbaiting in the music video, I believe that the intention of the company's creatives was shipper-baiting. It catering to LGBTQ fans was just a bonus. From choosing the members for the sub-unit to the way it was promoted, it seems like their marketing strategy was to target Seulrene shippers. Ultimately, shippers are another source of “dedicated” fans, who will give their money to the company. This is why, many companies and idols would push a same-sex ship between the members, with some idols going as far as engaging in some seriously heavy petting, even when idols involved are not only heterosexual but also homophobic.		Translation - Italian
Anche se molti hanno notato come il video musicale fosse volutamente pieno di contenuti omosessuali per cercare di accalappiarsi fette del pubblico LGBTQ+, credo che l’intento della casa discografica fosse in realtà quello di accontentare gli shipper. Il fatto che poi sia una soddisfazione anche per la comunità LGBTQ+ è solamente un bonus. Partendo dalla scelta dei membri fino al modo con cui la sotto-unità è stata promossa, è abbastanza palese come la strategia di marketing fosse rivolta agli shipper della Seulrene. A ben pensarci, gli shipper sono un’altra fonte di fan “dediti” che danno soldi alla compagnia. Ecco perché molte case discografiche e idol favoriscono le ship omosessuali tra membri dello stesso gruppo, arrivando addirittura a far sì che alcuni idol si accarezzino tra di loro, anche se gli artisti coinvolti non solo sono eterosessuali, ma anche omofobi.
