The contrast between him and his partner was too stark.

A HYBE boy group member has become the target of heated criticism for supposedly overdancing on stage.
The idol in question is Dohoon of TWS, a fifth-gen boy group under Pledis Entertainment.
Dohoon
The discourse around Dohoon’s dancing began with a post on X (formerly Twitter), which jokingly pointed out how his dancing looked intense beside Ana, a member of SM Entertainment‘s fifth-gen girl group Hearts2Hearts. In the video, both idols were dancing to TWS’s “Countdown” as a part of their MC duties at the 2025 Ulsan Summer Festival X Show! Music Core event.

Some netizens also pointed out that even while dancing to Hearts2Hearts’ “Style” during the same on-stage segment, Dohoon appeared more animated than Ana.

Despite the original post being made in good humor, it has drawn negative remarks about Dohoon’s dancing, with some implying he was overdoing it.

However, fans countered by pointing out that the original choreography demanded that energy, and Dohoon was simply executing it the correct way.
cant even do your own groups choreography accurately without people hating 😖 dohoon isnt even overdancing, its just that dohoon and a-na are dancing in two different ways so the difference is more noticeable 😭 pic.twitter.com/6gnRunJE7W https://t.co/ODLPuSd0KR

Interestingly, the same clip also drew harsh remarks for Ana’s dancing, prompting fans to point out how random and baseless these criticisms were.

This only shows that people will never be happy with how an idol behave. If you dance excitedly “you are doing to much”, you dance without hips movements “you are doing too little” “you are boring” “let’s kill you”
Booooooo https://t.co/55qaiLsa9V
