However, upon the release of this MV, Asian netizens developed contrasting opinions. Among them, many believed that Jessica was the center of the song.

They also pointed out several details that may prove their assumption, including Jessica always being placed in the center, getting to stand between famous actresses Crystal Zhang and Wu Jinyan, as well as having a lot of close-up face shots and the most screen time compared to other contestants.

Some comments from netizens: 

  • Jessica already has idol experience and she got to stand in the center position. In fact, she shined more here compared to in SNSD MVs. Wu Jinyan also looked better than I thought. I was scared she’d look too thin, but things turned out to be fine. 
  • Jessica is obviously being pushed, she wears completely different clothes from the rest. 
  • Jessica’s stage presence has been outstanding since SNSD. Just watch “The Boys”, and you will see how powerful she makes a simple walk look. Pretty and talented, she wasn’t outshined at all amid all those senior Chinese artists. It seemed that Jessia is just as strong after all these years. And no, don’t give all the credits to her center position, as Jessia stood out even when she’s in the rears. 
  • They cashed out a lot to get Jessica there, so of course they need to use her for attention. Also, you obviously can’t compare an experienced idol with actresses. Not that the other two are as popular as Jessica. 
  • First glance and Jessica already looked outstanding. She made the rest looked like backdancers.
