Following the announcement, some fans weren't satisfied with their favourite K-pop groups' positions, with some claiming Blackpink and Twice should rank higher.

@SugarDocHealth commented:

“IVE at #1 again? BLACKPINK and TWICE fans might have something to say about that. Rankings are one thing, but influence and impact can’t always be measured—debates incoming! Who really deserves the top spot?”

“Where is aespa? and why is ive above bp??”
