The surprise favorite in an October comeback poll: Why A2O MAY's 'BAD HABITS TONITE' keeps coming up

A song absent from the ballot kept appearing in the replies. Among the unexpected talking points of an October 26 fan poll was A2O MAY's 'BAD HABITS TONITE'; one voter picked another song but still singled it out.

A2O WORLD published the official 'BAD HABITS TONITE' video on October 18. An English-language K-pop girl-group community poll on October 26–27 considered releases by acts such as NMIXX and IVE; some commenters brought up A2O MAY on their own. This is an informal online taste discussion, not an official chart.

Different details drew different listeners in: rich lower-register vocals, a dance break, and the video's production. A poll about familiar comeback choices became a place to discover a song not on the ballot.

In the Reddit poll, a user voted for NMIXX's 'Birthday Wish' yet said they were obsessed with 'BAD HABITS TONITE.' Replies praised deep voices, choreography and video production. In a separate MV discussion, some loved its dark energy, while others called the structure disjointed or unoriginal. These are individual comments, not a measure of the wider fandom.

October's crowded release calendar prompted comparisons across groups. Reviews also debated the synth-heavy arrangement and vocal character of A2O MAY's release. An English-language forum cannot represent the opinion of Korean listeners as a whole.

Verified points: the official A2O WORLD video is dated October 18, 2026; the Reddit comparison poll was posted October 26 with replies on October 27. The video URL and publisher were corroborated through public indexes, but the full YouTube playback and its own comments were not independently accessed. 'Underrated' is a listener opinion, not a measured ranking.

What remains to be seen is how the song translates to future live performances and whether short-lived online enthusiasm becomes sustained listening. No unannounced promotion or chart result is assumed.
