What would you do if someone you love criticized you? Will you listen and consider their opinions, or just brush it off like it never happened? BABYMONSTER iconic member Ahyeon is now in a tricky situation for another dancing controversy. This time, fans are commenting and complaining in the new dancing controversy about Ahyeon for being “lazy” and “unenergetic.” So, what happened, and what should Ahyeon do?
BABYMONSTER Ahyeon Faces Another Dancing Controversy
Nothing seems to be going right for Ahyeon even after her historic comeback at BABYMONSTER’s re-debut. From one of the top legendary “little Jennie” trainees of YG, Ahyeon is now pushed to the back of BABYMONSTER’s roster due to many controversies surrounding her presence.
During her trainee period, Ahyeon was heavily criticized for a performance containing racial slurs. It resulted in massive hate comments that resulted in her deteriorating mental health, causing her to skip debuting with BABYMONSTER. It was why BABYMONSTER’s “Batter Up” only comprised 6 members.
Afterward, with immense support from her loyal fans, Ahyeon eventually returned to the group. She perfects the full force 7-member formation with “SHEESH,” sending a new wave of trends in the new generation Kpop community.
But even then, BABYMONSTER Ahyeon still faced another controversy, with people targeting her dancing, accusing her of “overshadowing” her fellow members. The ongoing criticism allegedly changed her personality. Ahyeon reportedly became quieter compared to her earlier trainee days.
Since the controversy, BABYMONSTER Ahyeon has been listening to fans’ suggestions and toning down her dancing. And still, after the group’s latest comeback, some fans once again criticized Ahyeon for being “lazy” and “unenergetic” in her dancing.
“Lazy” or “Unenergetic” Performance
Following the group’s latest comeback, BABYMONSTER is releasing various dance videos and challenges for the “DRIP” and “CLICK CLACK” title tracks. And yet, in the “DRIP” performance video released on November 5, fans noticed that Ahyeon was not as energetic as she used to.
Not only that, but fans also noticed that Ahyeon massively toned down her dancing energy in many of BABYMONSTER video challenges.
While this may be the result of the contemplation of the previous criticism, it resulted in another dancing controversy against BABYMONSTER Ahyeon.
Missing Previous Dancing VS Just Right
Some fans claimed to be defending Ahyeon, hoping she would return to her powerful and popping dance style that fans had immensely loved since her trainee days.
“Ever since some solo stans started calling her out to international fans for dancing ‘too energetically,’ she’s been holding back in her performances, putting in less energy 😭. I wish she’d just return to her old self, even if it’s a bit over-the-top.
Even the overseas fans, who usually only say nice things, are now subtly encouraging her to stay strong, cheering her on in the comments.”

I hope someone on the inside could encourage her to unleash that energetic ahyeon with that sweet balance 🥹🫶🏻 i miss that 1000% level of energy. Nevertheless, her matchless talent cant really be hidden even if she tones it down. https://t.co/dT1pDzWh6M

AHYEON FVCK THE HATERS https://t.co/oZGBP5OQWF
And yet some others believed that this energy of Ahyeon was just right. Some fans believe that Ahyeon current dancing style is just the perfect match for the other BABYMONSTER members.
- “I don’t really think much after watching the video; I think it’s better now.”
- “I think this version is better. Honestly, her previous style wasn’t that pretty or impressive; both her expressions and dance were over the top.”
- “I don’t see what’s so wrong with the dance in the video.”
- “Honestly, it was a bit much before. I didn’t even know who she was, but it seemed over the top when I saw her on YouTube.”
- “Just ask her to dance like the other members…”
“Leave Ahyeon Alone!” Fans Defending Ahyeon
Finally, fans started rallying to defend BABYMONSTER against the dancing controversy, both the “lazy” and “overly-energetic” criticisms. Therefore, fans demand that Ahyeon be left alone.
- “From Ahyeon’s perspective, she might be wondering, ‘What am I supposed to do?’”
- “Ahyeon must be feeling pretty dumbfounded. She works hard, even incorporates feedback, yet still gets criticized.”
- “Why is there no middle ground with her?”
- “People said it was too much a few months ago, so she changed it, but now this again… Ahyeon must be stressed out. The new style isn’t bad.”
- “She’s probably just trying different things to see what works. Someone with her level of skill likely has a strong desire to succeed. Just let her find her way without pressuring her.”
- “People can’t criticize her singing, so they nitpick on weird things instead. They should save it for those who actually deserve criticism.”
- “Just stop criticizing her; she must be super stressed. She’s only a high schooler.”
- “She’s a rookie. She’ll find her style eventually, so let’s give her some time.”
- “Honestly, these are just hate comments. What do they want from her?”
Am I only one who thinks that this will get her even more hate? It feels like she is trying to prove something to knetz but knowing them it might turn into something worse
