- Cupid's Arrow: The music video for Love Dive uses a lot of imagery related to Cupid's arrow. The lights outside the mansion are shaped like arrows with hearts on the end, Rei is also shown walking through the maze with a bow and a quiver of heart-tipped arrows, and finally, neon line-drawings of Cupid himself appear around Wonyoung in the second half of the video.
- Disco: Their third single "After Like" samples the string section of the iconic Disco hit "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor.
- The Leader: Yujin, notable as she was one of the younger members of her previous group IZ*ONE.
- Stage Names: The two youngest members, Liz and Leeseo, both use stage names. For Liz, her stage name comes from her English name, which is Elizabeth. Leeseo's stage name is possibly a portmanteau of her surname and her first name - Leeseo (이서) from Lee Hyunseo (이현서).
- Flying Car: The music video for Love Dive shows the girls flying through the sky in a car with angel wings.
