Buat yang belum tau, di dunia K-Pop, "Season’s Greetings" itu biasanya kayak paket merchandise yang dirilis sama para artis. Isinya macem-macem, ada kalender, photobook, planner, photocard, sampe konten eksklusif lainnya. Nah, barang-barang kayak gini tuh biasanya dijual pas menjelang tahun baru.

Nah, karena "Season’s Greetings" ini biasanya identik banget sama K-Pop, banyak fans yang jadi bingung pas KATSEYE nge-tease produk ini.

Video teaser itu juga memicu kritikan tentang kurangnya komitmen grup ini terhadap label "K-Pop". Banyak yang ngerasa aneh, KATSEYE ngaku bukan grup K-Pop, tapi malah ngeluarin sesuatu yang K-Pop banget, yang mana sebagian besar fans mereka malah nggak tau itu apaan.

If katseye not kpop why kpop shaped?

The concept of claiming not to be a K-pop group but doing all kpop shit that even kpop idols don't do anymore https://t.co/f0v8FGimlXpic.twitter.com/NP5aOxPXqh

It’s pretty clear their agency wants to attract as many K-pop fans as possible while calling them a “global group” to avoid being ostracized by places like the Grammys.
They’ve got everything a K-pop group has (including their label), just without singing in Korean. https://t.co/NXNa0oHKUU

Tapi, sebagian fans juga nganggap reaksi ini sebagai hal yang positif. Soalnya, ini ngebuktiin kalo popularitas KATSEYE nggak cuma terbatas di kalangan K-Pop aja. Mereka juga udah berhasil bangun nama di pasar global sebagai girl group internasional. Keren!

i think it’s so funny that people were claiming nobody knows katseye outside of kpop when most people in the comments and quotes don’t know what season’s greetings is https://t.co/orttJ6nwXcpic.twitter.com/zrnDcO83ab
