i usually don’t care about male idols making gg dances “masculine” bc i mean hey, if that’s the style they’re comfortable dancing in then do your thing. but they usually do those alone. THIS just throws the synchronization off so bad and it’s pissing me off 😭 https://t.co/mVUVRRKJeb

Netizens quickly defended Yeonjun, adding that despite being unproblematic, the idol seems to be the target of hate when he shows support for his fellow idols.

Others shared that this kind of discourse made people move away from K-Pop as things became toxic, adding that netizens were criticizing and comparing idols rather than enjoying cthe ontent.

Fans believe criticism is being taken too far and taking the fun out of K-Pop.
