While the video posted was meant to be positive, it sparked major fury from netizens who accused the choreography of sexualizing Chiquita, who has just turned 17 and is a minor. Many thought the move was inappropriate for someone so young and they didn’t understand why groups with minors were still doing this sort of concept.
Choreographed by a sex trafficker for an underage idol, and the fandom is silent. The same fandom who dragged another gg through hell for wearing a bunch of cute princess outfits https://t.co/4bHiDXdXyv

i never understand why they make these kinds of songs knowing they still have minors in the group, i understand that they do a girl crush concept, but why do they make her twerk? https://t.co/Ql89J0s0zs

In particular, others didn’t understand why YG Entertainment got away with sexualizing Chiquita regluarly, but when it happened to idols from HYBE, they always got backlash despite similar ages and situations, but with the BABYMONSTER singer being much younger.
The double standards it’s so pathetic…..if u remember how much hate Eunchae got for Smart and how much hate Yoonchae got….those same people are silent now. https://t.co/iLhcNzFAoF
