Following this release, Crayon Pop's unique outfits and choreography drew interest and their popularity rose.

[3] The song and dance were often called addictive, with easy-to-follow choreography and simple, repetitive lyrics.

This music video was filmed in Yongma Land, an abandoned amusement park in Jungnang-gu,[6][7] with a budget of only 380,000 won (US$338).

[14][15] YG Entertainment's CEO Yang Hyun-suk praised Crayon Pop for having the best hit song of the first half of 2013.

[16][17] Jeff Benjamin of Billboard credited the song's success to its "quirky video, fun dance and catchy hook".

[13] Taylor Glasby of Dazed ranked the song ninth on the publication's "Top ten K-Pop of 2013".

He described the group as "simultaneously creepy and adorable" and the song as "cheekily adventurous" with an "earworm chorus" and "iconic" dance.

[22][23] Many groups covered the dance or made parody videos, including M.I.B., MBLAQ, Perfume, Justice Crew and the Gyungbuk women's police department.

[25] On October 19, the song was again featured on SNL Korea, this time danced by actor Tom Hiddleston.

[26] For Taiwanese artists, at the end of 2013, Jeannie Hsieh arranged this song with the Chinese title "阿公呷嘸飽" and took her performance on Taipei New Year's Eve Party.

[27] On February 20, 2014, a dance cover by Taiwanese twin six-year-olds, Zony and Yony, was uploaded to YouTube.
