Recently, the short-form content released on the official social media account of the girl group SECRET has sparked online controversy over generational disparagement.
The video was titled “POV: When enthusiasm leads the body,” which compared the way people dance in their 20s, 30s, and 50s.
While the video showed the 20s dancing naturally and the 30s performing a bit more exaggeratedly, it made the 50s dance with more comical movements.
Criticism poured into the comment sections, stating that people in their 50s were not portrayed correctly.
- “What’s with the disparagement of the people in their 50s? Whose idea was this? Surprising…”
- “Did you really have to make this video and start a generational controversy?”
- “I hope the new member gains some popularity here and re-debuts as a solo artist.”
- “Are you making fun of people in their 50s? You really have no sense at all.”
However, others felt people were going overboard, stating that it was just content created for humor.
Meanwhile, SECRET has re-debuted as a three-member system, after recruiting new member Yebin.
