Controversy

The same month the song was released, Serebro accused Momoland of plagiarizing their song "Mi Mi Mi" with "Bboom Bboom". Shinsadong Tiger denied the allegations by pointing out that "the bass line commonly heard in retro house or electro swing genres, as well as the 4-stanza chord."
Also due its sudden rise on the music chart, it was easily caught under suspicion of chart manipulation. But according to investigations performed by Hanteo Chart and Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism of South Korea, these allegations turned out to be false.
