Before the contestants were revealed, the others were given hints through keywords. For Cherry Bullet, the words related to BTS’s V, actor Park Bo Gum, and actress Kim Hye Soo.

After seeing their keywords, it wasn’t surprising that the members were not happy. Even as they introduced themselves, the members’ tones seemed almost humored by the words they’d been given.

In particular, Bora shared her sadness that despite having debuted five years ago, their words were about acting rather than idol careers.

Their disappointment was evident as Bora revealed, “It’s a bit disappointing…”

Yet, it wasn’t just the members who were rightly disappointed with the keywords. When the photos were shared on social media, fans hated the fact that the members debuted in 2019 and have had a lot of success, the keywords revealed were based on accolades with other stars.

While it is obvious they are known for those activities, their success as idols has seemingly been overlooked for the show, and it’s not surprising that both the members and netizens are disappointed.
