Another NCTzen posted, "MV 2 Baddies (질주) time 244 seconds (4.04 mins) Taeil’s time total 7 seconds This is from No.1 entertainment? #TaeilDeservesBetter." One fan tweeted, "Taeil worked as hard as everyone being there to shoot the mv only for his shots not being included in the music video.. it’s unfair especially since taeil is the main vocalist :/."
