Some criticized, “I feel it is rude that you took your life while only sighing. Afterwards, I said that I cut off the leash to breathe, but in the end, you couldn’t overcome it, but I think it means that I endured differently than you.”

Other netizens commented, “Why do you have to use the deceased?”, “Looking at the lyrics that say that he took his life with only a sigh, he doesn’t seem to even know the meaning of the song ‘Sigh'”, “Who expresses his respect for the deceased like that?” , “Who are you trying to send because you misunderstood again?”

Mud the Student’s ‘Dissonance’ is a song that expresses that not all dissonance-like beings in this world are wrong, but different. It is known that Mud the Student as well as ‘Akdong Musician’ Chanhyuk Lee participated in writing and composing this song.
