In particular, on the 16th, SM Entertainment unveiled the comeback of “Avenger” girl group GOT the beat with its first mini-album, “Stamp On It” and a title track with the same name, pre-released on Jan. 1 at the “SMTOWN LIVE 2023: SMCU [email protected]” concert.

On January 21 then, the aforementioned music show uploaded members’ fancams, containing behind-the-scenes during filming.
However, among the videos, BoA, the eldest member of the group, attracted massive attention for its fancam content.
Initially, the idol greet Jumping BoA, her fandom who attended the recording and thanked them for taking the time to come.

In the clip, it is noticeable that BoA is only teasing its supporters as the offline viewers burst into laughter along with the members.
However, netters who saw the video complained about it, saying:
- “Well, maybe if the song is good.”
- “Why don’t you think we want to watch it?”
- “I’m surprised that she really said that.”
Fans and web users then claimed the reason the MV has low views, pointing out that the lyrics and melodies of the new song “Stamp On It” were all disappointing. Contrary to its first digital single, “Step Back” released last year, their new song did not catch the hearts of the current generation.
People Express Discomfort Following BoA’s Remark on GOT the beat’s Average Age
Another remark of BoA that caused discomfort to fans was when she randomly blurted out GOT the beat’s average age.
“If we add up all our years of promotions together, we’d be 70 years old, so we’re considered big seniors (in the music industry).”

Taeyeon and Hyoyeon retorted that it isn’t that bad and the latter even stated that it doesn’t show in their appearance, starting to act cute.
However, BoA jokingly called out Hyo and said:
“Why are you trying to act cute?”
Observing the atmosphere, the members who built friendships while promoting for a year were just joking around, given the wave of laughter as well.
But there are netizens who criticized BoA for ruining the mood and for not knowing to read the room. According to some internet users, it is visible that the younger members including Wendy and Taeyeon felt awkward and surprised as well for her words, but they still tried to laugh it off.
