Since her debut, Ahyeon, a member of the K-pop girl group Baby Monster, has been embroiled in several controversies regarding her choreography. She has been criticized for “over-dancing” and using too much force in her movements, making her look out of place in the group.
After receiving feedback from the audience, Ahyeon gradually became more restrained on later stages. But when the group released the album “Drip” (early November), the controversy over her choreography once again erupted.
This time, the audience thought that Ahyeon was "lazy to dance", because her moves were too light compared to the other members, and in many situations it looked like she had skipped the moves.
This made the public angry. They suspected that Ahyeon was showing a strong response, challenging public opinion. When criticized for dancing too hard, she intentionally danced weakly, the lightest in the group.
Ahyeon’s choreography is also inconsistent across different stages. Recently, a video comparing the female idol’s dance to “Drip” on two music shows, Inkigayo and Show! Music Core, has gained attention.
On Inkigayo, Ahyeon showed off her energetic choreography and sharp movements. But on Show! Music Core, with similar movements, she danced too lightly, with some movements Ahyeon didn't even move her feet. When watching the group video, Ahyeon looked even more different.
Some fans defended Ahyeon, saying that when performing on Show! Music Core, the female idol had to wear a skirt that was too short and high heels, making her uncomfortable and not confident in performing strong dance moves.
However, other opinions say that short skirts can affect leg choreography, but overall, Ahyeon's whole body looks quite superficial.
Her inability to control the intensity of her dance to blend in with the group was considered unprofessional.
