Controversy
On March 1, 2016, MBK Entertainment released a promotional photo of the album teaser. Compared with the previously announced behind-the-scenes photos, it was found that the promotional photo originally taken with clothes was turned into a half-naked photo after it was released, which caused anger tofans. After the comparison, it was found that Hyomin was wearing black underwear when she originally took the promotional photo, and the published promotional photo had obvious traces of editing on Hyomin's arm.[5]
