To this point, Korean netizens have concurred with these sentiments, posting their own barrage of harsh comments on the “theqoo”forum.

The following are comments from Korean netizens:

Although the addition of Korean elements was a good decision, the choreography for this performance is not up to par. The movement sequence is disorganized and there are numerous empty sections, which detracts from the overall quality of the routine.
The choreography appears disorderly and the movements do not align with the rhythm of the song.
The choreography makes it look like the members are not good at dancing…
IVE has never been a group that danced well, so…
Despite some moments of good choreography, the overall performance is lacking due to numerous gaps.
