ENHYPEN is facing scathing backlash after their TikTok collaboration with KATSEYE resurfaced on X (formerly Twitter).
The boy group stars Ni-Ki and Heesung have been under fire for performing the girl group’s TikTok challenge from “Touch” in a way that is way too masculine.
The cute choreography for the pop song includes a lot of hip popping and cute mannerism, moves that ENHYPEN members are being accused of skipping to not appear too feminine.
Though old, the video has triggered a lot of renewed criticism over what is being perceived as a trend when boy group idols cover songs by girl groups.
아니 키/덩치차이도 별로안나면서 뭔 남지짓을한다고 저러는건지 이해가안되네 https://t.co/Barcp2NZNS

I honestly don’t get why they’re acting all macho when there isn’t even much of a height or build difference.

the way some male idols do gg dances like they’re afraid a hip sway will erase their masculinity 😭 https://t.co/HcR99sY2wO

nothings funnier than those manufactured kpop twinks with 10 layers of makeup acting like a little hip movement will hurt their fragile "male" ego https://t.co/tnYkgM9X7B pic.twitter.com/X5IN7BUe7G

What are your thoughts? Did the ENHYPEN members skip the moves for “Touch” TikTok challenge on purpose, or is it simply their natural way of dancing? Let us know in the comment section of our social media post!
