Popular K-Drama Actor Faces Backlash After Attempting Girl Group Dance Challenge

Choo Young Woo is facing backlash after joining a girl group dance challenge with IVE’s Leeseo.
The rising K-Drama star posted a short dance clip doing IVE’s “BANG BANG” choreography. It gained quick attention — but not all positive.
Some fans found it cute and fun. But many slammed his dancing, especially his facial expressions. Netizens said his looks were “feral” and “not attractive.”
근데 이분은 왜자꾸 춤추시는 거임
얼굴 너무 표독스럽게 변해요… 원래 그정돈 아니신데

Many were brutal with their comments on Twitter, saying the whole performance looked “ugly” and “scary.”
At the same time, plenty of fans defended Choo Young Woo, reminding everyone he’s an actor, not a pro idol dancer. They said the challenge was meant to be fun and promotional — not perfect.
Whether awkward or adorable, the clip has definitely stirred buzz.
