Netizens react to Nayeon's 'Y2K transformation' in 'ABCD'

Following the immense success of her 1st solo album title track, “Pop!”, TWICE’s Nayeon certainly had a lot of expectations to live up to with her 2nd mini album comeback.

On June 14 at midnight EST, Nayeon released all of the songs from her 2nd mini album, ‘NA’, as well as the full MV for her title track, “ABCD”.

As previously hinted by her comeback teasers, Nayeon’s concept this time around is a bold “Y2K transformation”.

Well, how did netizens react to Nayeon’s new look and sound?

Some commented,

“Love the pop diva style. It’s so cool and refreshing.”

“Nayeon hot girl.”

“It has that vibe of old school pop stars.”

“The song is so good and the choreography is crazy.”

“They got the early 2010s vibe perfectly.”

“Nayeon can pull off this kind of style too!”

“I wasn’t even thinking about this kind of concept but Nayeon is about to be the new Lee Hyori.”

“Why is she so hot!”

“Throw back to Lee Hyori and BoA!”

“Always wanted to see Nayeon doing this kind of hot concept! ‘Pop!’ was no different from her TWICE image.”

“She ate that dance break. The song is really cool and perfect for summer.”

However, others who wanted to see the return of “Pop!”-era Nayeon commented,

“I wasn’t really feeling the new MV so I went and watched the ‘Pop!’ MV again, and the cute and refreshing concept really suits Nayeon best kekekeke.”

“I’m sad that there’s no ‘pop pop pop’ Nayeon.”

“Mmmm the MV feels a little too old for me.”

“Nayeon has such a cute and sweet image that this looks a little bit like she’s trying on the unnies’ clothes.”

“It doesn’t feel like this concept is 100% for her. Maybe it’ll take some time to adjust.”

“It’s too old-fashioned…”

“I was looking forward to something more similar to ‘Pop’…”

“Nayeon is so pretty but this song and the choreography are not my style.”

“The MV feels almost low-quality.”

“The dance break doesn’t give off the feeling that she’s a super captivating performer…”
