As singer Heize returns with the digital single “VingleVingle”, fans’ reactions are divided, just as much as the song’s distinctiveness.
On April 5th, Heize released a new digital single named “VingleVingle”. “VingleVingle” is a dance-pop genre song with addictive melodies and impactful lyrics.
Following the release of “VingleVinge”, Heize also revealed a dance challenge video. In this video, Heize showcases a dance where she turns her head in accordance with the lyrics. At the same time, backup dancers also repeat the choreography with Heize.
So far, many netizens have found the song and dance challenge to be extremely addictive. Indeed, “VingleVingle” has been gaining popularity, charting a total of eight times on the circle chart in the 14th week of 2023.
However, many fans also express criticisms and regrets. According to them, Heize has “erase her individuality” with “VingleVingle”, which is completely different from her previous releases.
They also show disappointment by leaving comments such as, “The clothes are really ridiculous”, “Many singers are ruined because of the dance challenge”, “Heize’s musical identity and image that she has built up are all collapsing because of this one song. What’s with the challenge?”, “I remember Heize had a moody atmosphere like ‘It’s Raining'”, and “Why does Heize have to do this?”, on Heize’s challenge video.
Overall, some show regret as Heize, who has mainly performed emotional ballads, suddenly comes out with an addictive song, wearing flashy outfits like other idol singers, and shooting dance challenge videos.
The hardcore fans of Heize, who has always loved her strong individual color as a singer, seem to be quite shocked by this change.
Meanwhile, Heize appeared on the April 13th episode of YouTube show “Jo Hyun Ah’s Thursday Night” and explained her new song.
“Until now, I was like a woman alone feeling hurt by breaking up. This time, I feel like a person who’s really free after breaking up. People like us.. if we meet someone? Writing a song is what remains. Publishing that song would mean facing the hurt feeling”, the female singer said.
