Actor Choo Young Woo is facing unexpected backlash after participating in a girl group dance challenge. The rising K-Drama star recently filmed a short-form dance video with IVE‘s Leeseo, taking on the choreography for the group’s latest track, “BANG BANG.”

The clip, posted as part of a promotional reels challenge, quickly gained traction online, but not entirely for positive reasons. While some fans found the collaboration cute and lighthearted, others criticized the actor’s execution of the choreography. In particular, they took issue with his facial expressions.
근데 이분은 왜자꾸 춤추시는 거임
얼굴 너무 표독스럽게 변해요… 원래 그정돈 아니신데 https://t.co/VLTnezVoba

But why does this person keep trying to dance? His expressions turn too feral… He’s not usually like that.

Some just found his dancing unattractive.

Wow, there’s nothing not ugly about this, from his dance, to his expressions, to his gaze, even his hand gestures.

Netizens were absolutely brutal.

BSFR, is there any demand for this? It’s getting scary.

However, many fans came to Choo Young Woo’s defense, emphasizing that he is an actor, not a professional idol dancer. Others argued that the challenge was meant to be fun and promotional rather than technically perfect, and that the hate felt excessive for a short 20–30 second clip.
Whether awkward or adorable, one thing is certain: people are definitely talking.
