Hyunjin Stray Kids became the butt of South Korean netizens because his dancing skills at MAMA 2021 were considered not good enough. Here's the full explanation.
Following Karina Aespa, Hyunjin Stray Kids became the target of South Korean netizens after performing a solo dance at the 2021 Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). He is considered to have poor dancing skills even though he looks very total on stage.
MAMA 2021 opened with special performances from 6 4th generation idols, namely Hyunjin, Karina, ATEEZ's Wooyoung, TXT's Yeonjun, ENHYPEN's Heeseung to ITZY's Yeji. They performed a unique dance to warm up the event.
However, Karina aespa became a hot topic because it was considered a stiff dance. According to netizens, Karina's shortcomings are very visible because she is placed among the main dancers of other groups.
After Karina, netizens on Pann began to criticize Hyunjin's solo dance. A post entitled "Hyunjin's shocking dance skills" immediately became a hot topic because the writer called Hyunjin's hand and foot movements unnatural.
Netizens' opinion of the post is divided into two. Several people agreed with the writer and started criticizing Hyunjin. Meanwhile, other netizens who recognized Hyunjin's abilities began to defend him.
To be honest, Karina wasn't praised much for her dancing skills and now she's hated like crazy. On the other hand, this controversial person (Hyunjin) gets a lot of recognition for her dancing skills. She dances like this and no one hates her. female idols are very difficult," said one netizen.
"She dances like this and still gets legendary praise, while Karina gets a lot of blasphemy. The mentality of female netizens Pann about 'a woman is another woman's worst enemy' is very severe," added another netizen.
"Despite the bullying scandal that hit him, can you praise him for his dance? There are many people who praised his dance even before the scandal came out. I don't think that posts like this are fair to him," said another.
"His dancing skills are not too bad. I watched the show and saw that he was fine," said another netizen. "Draging Hyunjin into this problem will not make Karina's dance better," said another.
"I don't like Hyunjin either. But how can you criticize him for his dance skills?" another netizen said. "This is the first time I've seen someone insult Hyunjin's dancing skills," concluded another netizen. (wk/eval)
