As soon as the rumor broke, fans started flooding the internet with their posts, hoping the speculated collaboration would be confirmed soon and they would be able to hear Suga and Jihyo singing together.

SUGA of BTS), Wild Breeze, Drift (Feat. BIBI), The Road Not Taken, and another song written in Korean. Fans are expecting that she will also collaborate with BIBI, the solo singer for the aforementioned songs.

However, the other section of fans believes they should wait for the official confirmation, or else it will just break their hearts if they do not collaborate on the Not Enough track of Jihyo's much-anticipated album. As mentioned before, the TWICE member is the second member of the group to release her solo debut album. The first member to release her solo album was Nayeon.
