AOA made their highly anticipated comeback with the release of the double title tracks "Bing Bing" and "Excuse Me"; however, the songs have not been well received by fans. Both releases received an onslaught of negative reviews from netizens, who are starting to believe that the girl group is going downhill after their recent string of flops.
The anticipation for AOA's comeback album, "Angels Knock," was at an all-time high, thanks to the hype created by their gorgeous concept teasers along with news of their collaboration with music producer Brave Brothers, with whom they have previously teamed up for, "Miniskirt", "Short Hair", "Like a Cat", and "Heart Attack," according to All Kpop. However, their recent releases failed to meet expectations, leading to many angry and disappointed fans.
"AOA's new release is really bad.... Total flop...," the same publication quoted a netizen as saying, while another wrote, "Their new song is seriously terrible. And who made the choreography? What happened with this album?"
Some netizens complained of the rap lyrics of the song, especially in "Bing Bing," while some commented saying that even Cosmic Girls were better than AOA. There are fans who went as far as saying that the girl group should stop making music and disintegrate as a group if they continue to dish out releases like their recent ones.
It is not only AOA's tracks that are being disparaged, the whole group in general is drawing criticism from netizens. They believe that it is not right that Seolhyun is always the one being "pushed" to carry out solo promotions and attract all the attention as opposed to the other members
With their series of bad releases, netizens believe they will not last long in the industry if they do not improve as a group. They also pointed out that the group's last hit release was the 2015 track, "Heart Attack." Watch the MV of the song below:
