An editor working with Seoulbeats, Leslie Tumbaco mentions "They have such a keen understanding of the basics of music, which makes their stripped-down melodies so magnetic".[6] Along with the light hearted songs their performances are very light hearted and fun as well, drawing in audiences and attention with their personalities.
