bartkun isn't the type to troll on this (that I've ever seen), but confirmed it through their official twitter:

I'm interested to see what direction they go in! Vanilla and Vivace were pretty different from each other.

omggggggggg yes finally queen nayoung will outslay everyone

watch every single fandom acknowledge juhyeon becuz yall be sleeping too much

i felt like its been so long since their last comeback, is it THAT long ?

Quote from bartkun

I'm hoping for Vivace 2.0 but with more summer vibes

That'd be cool! Something a bit peppy, but without being full-on cute concept the way Vanilla was.

Six months maybe? I feel like the hype died down really quick on them, but I think they've got a solid thing going! Just need to catch their stride.

they really did flop a bit because of the whole 'no concept' and 'filler trinity' thing

also vanilla has no bside to back them up

but fucking finally, cube knocked some sense into them and finally gave them a mini

Quote from bartkun

yeah but without anything weird

and god please without those crazy sounds like here at begining, and like in vanilla

lol i used to religiously stream popcorn because of the prechorus

nayoung and chowon delivered REAL vocals ( and we can only stan )

but yeah, the left right left right part kinda turned me off too lol

but the song itself is such an ear candy tbh

i would rank it higher than vivace, also it makes them become more consistent concept-wise

Can’t wait for their comeback

Really hope people have more respect for the members too. The “filler member” bs is nonsense & disrespectful

Quote from bartkun

wait

who is naming who a filler member?

some netizens are calling hina, huiyeon and jian as fillers cuz they have no central role in the group

unlike nayoung chowon ( vocal line ), juhyeon sangah ( dance line ) and yujeong ( lead vocal material )

also all 3 of them are sub vocals ( as stated in the positions ) and therefore are seen as fillers, however that is wrong becuz firstly, lightsum literally just debuted with only 4 songs like give them time ??? , also huiyeon and hina have potential for dance + hina is japanese ( bigger market ) and a visual material, jian is also heavily pushed as the rapper alongside sangah but has no strong aura like her

also all 3 members are on the cute side, which according to some users, severely throws off the whole group's balance because their aura are miles different from the other girls that possesses strong aura such as sangah, chowon, juhyeon, and arguably nayoung. this apparent and obvious difference is what makes people think that the 3 members are suppressing sangah, chowon, juhyeon from showcasing fullest girl crush ability because they are now stuck with cute concepts. nayoung and yujeong are not as criticised as the filler trinity because both girls act as the borderline between the group's strong aura and cute aura

hopefully the next comeback showcased something new and fresh from the group

Quote from bartkun

I'd rather have them going more IZ*ONE route

as much i want them to pursue these concepts, they are currently known as a group with no clear concept and identity, and following izone path will further make them known as 'izone ripoff' because of unclear concept transition between vanilla and vivace

its probably the best if they stick to cute concepts for now

judging from the promotional poster, they might comeback with cute concept
