While the song has been an instant hit with fans, some eagled-eye netizens, however, alleged the group had taken inspiration from a now-familiar source: Infinite Challenge.

Netizens in online communities shared several of the group’s choreography that, they allege, looked eerily similar to choreography from the legendary show.
