While people think the Kep1er members dance amazingly, internet users pay more attention to which member gets the most attention from the camera.
Kep1er made a guest appearance on the February 2 episode of MBC Every1's variety show “Weekly Idol.” Here, the members played several games and performed dance covers of songs from BTS (Bangtan Boys), NCT, ITZY, AESPA and Girls' Generation. In particular, they performed "The Boys," one of Girls' Generation's biggest hits.
While people think the Kep1er members dance amazingly, internet users pay more attention to which member gets the most attention from the camera. People can determine who gets the most screentime and who gets the least. With it, people can say whether they like the performance or not.
After watching, people noticed that Huening Bahiyyih, who is often praised for her Barbie-like visuals, was often "invisible." This is because he has the least screentime in the center position.
When Huening Bahiyyih performed "XOXO" on the show, she was praised for dancing accurately. He was also praised for his facial expressions, charisma, and posture. However, people claim that Huening Bahiyyih is better at performing simple dances, like "XOXO," and still needs more practice for complex choreography like "The Boys."
The member with the most outstanding presence was Shen Xiaoting. Not only was he the center during most of "The Boys" performances, but the camera also seemed very interested in him when he appeared. Even though she was ranked ninth on “Girls Planet 999,” it seemed that Shen Xiaoting was the unofficial center of the group, being in the spotlight for most of their performances.
People believed that Shen Xiaoting was worthy of the center position because of her outstanding visuals and impressive dance lines. In addition, people noted that she featured the part of Yoona who is also the center of the group.
"Shen Xiaoting dances by covering Yoona. She is amazing," commented netizens. "Huening Bahiyyih is nowhere to be seen," said another netizen. "Huening Bahiyyih keeps disappearing," said another.
"Why are people criticizing the cameraman if Huening Bahiyyih is dancing out of rhythm and his movements are wrong?" said netizens. "Shen Xiaoting is really the best. She's amazing," another commented. "I think the group dance is mediocre," added another. (wk/goddess)
