Another comments have poured in, revealing a range of perspectives on the performance:
- “It doesn’t match her…. I like An Yujin but this was so-so…”
- “This somehow just looks funny to me”
- “I think that you need to be super good at dancing to pull off this dance”
- “It’s way too dark” “I think that she needs to be stronger for this dance”
- “I think that rather than being a good dancer, you need to look cool. Idols aren’t pro dancers so I don’t really care. Yujinie is still super popular”
- “Huh? She was good though. Seems like everyone is suddenly an expert. You guys are even grabbing other members by the hair tsk tsk you trolls, seriously”
- “You did well Yujin-ah! You’re too pretty”
- “I think that she did well though. Why are there so many negative people here?”
- “ I don’t think that she did well nor bad. I think she just danced normally”
