IVE’s Rei Faces Viral Harsh Criticism For Her Dance Skills

They compared her to the other members and other idols.

IVE‘s Rei has recently come under scrutiny from netizens regarding her dance skills.

Following IVE’s latest comeback teaser, a post criticizing Rei’s dancing began growing viral on Nate Pann, an online community. Some netizens claimed that her movements appeared less powerful and aesthetically pleasing compared to other members, pointing out issues with her skills.

They claimed that putting her next to members that do well such as Gaeul and Yujin emphasizes her lacking skills.

They compared her to BLACKPINK‘s Jisoo, who has been highly buzzed about across Korean communities for being a stiff dancer.

  • Well, I mean, anyone can tell Jisoo’s a stiff dancer even from afar.
  • I don’t know why you’re trying to make this an issue.
  • We can’t say that Rei is the best dancer, but she’s not stiff to the point where it stands out. She’s not comparable to Jisoo.
  • Not really though? Are you unfamiliar with Jisoo?
  • You’re saying Rei is a stiff dancer? I’ve never thought of that before, so this post is taking me aback.

Rei debuted as a member of IVE under Starship Entertainment in 2021 and has consistently been praised for her unique visuals, voice, and multilingual skills. With her adorable charisma and rap skills, dancing should not even be an issue!
