Soon after, fans and netizens rushed to defend her.
They praised Juun’s dance skills, saying she earned her spot with talent — not just looks. Many pointed out double standards compared to male idols.
“Jooeun dances really well lol. She debuted because she’s skilled, so why are people dragging her? There are tons of male idols who aren’t good-looking.”
“So it’s ‘understandable’ when ugly male idols are labeled as ‘talent members’? lol Most male idols are unattractive except one or two. It’s hilarious how posts like this are always made about girl groups.”
“Honestly, looking at H2H, debuting doesn’t seem to be based purely on skill—it feels more like timing.”
“These people used to trash girl groups for lacking skills, but now that a skilled girl debuts, they say they ‘don’t get it’? That’s seriously unhinged.”
“Ironically, Yeon is the main vocal and Jooeun is the main dancer—those two are clearly outstanding in terms of skill.”

The debate highlights ongoing beauty standard issues in K-pop, but Juun’s supporters are standing strong behind her dance talent.
No official statements from Hearts2Hearts or Juun have been released yet.
