Following the announcement, questions emerged online about how the young lyricist secured the opportunity to write a title track for one of K-pop’s most popular fourth-generation groups. Tablo addressed the issue directly through Epik High’s fan communication platform. Responding to a fan who commented that SM Entertainment is known for using blind reviews, he confirmed that this was indeed how his daughter was selected. The fan wrote, “It seems remarkable that she was the sole lyricist. I heard SM uses blind reviews.” Tablo replied, “Yes, that’s how she was selected.” His response clarified that reviewers were unaware of the writer’s identity while assessing submissions.
