Seulgi commented: “I think you might be able to see it a little later. You know why don’t you? I decided not to do anything controversial. »
Seulgi’s remark got net surfers reacting, who then debated online. Some found Seulgi’s reaction excessive, others intelligent.
- “Seulgi could have done the dance and I don’t think people would have read it that thoroughly. I think she threw the spotlight on the whole thing, especially since she refused. Haha.
- ” I don’t know. But when I see how people react, I think Seulgi did the right thing … refused. »
- “People who get upset because she doesn’t dance have to think, ‘How dare she not cover Hype Boy? “For example, it is normal to say no. »
- “It’s up to Seulgi to decide whether to perform the dance. It’s her choice to smile. It’s as if people’s brains are programmed to criticize. Damn crazy. »
- “Seulgi was smart. »
Others came to defend the idol and expressed respect for her reaction.
- “It’s so weird how some people criticize fans for not reading the mood. Every idol covered “Hype Boy”. Of course, some of you will ask to see the Seulgi cover too. I doubt any of them wanted to get him into trouble by asking him to dance to it. »
- “You can tell that K-pop idols are tired of engaging in unfounded controversy. You can see that in Seulgi’s extreme caution. The real problem is the haters, trolls and tabloid reporters. »
- “Seulgi made a wise decision. »
- “Don’t fool the fans, MDR. Hype Boy is such a popular challenge. It makes sense that Seulgi fans would want to see her do it. It’s disappointing to see all these people looking for gossip. »
- “Some of these comments are off the mark. People are so angry these days. »
- “It’s not the fans’ fault who asked him to do the dance. Seulgi, who politely declined the request, is not at fault. People getting upset and mad at them is really weird. lol Just follow Lee Soo Man. »
- “You can also hear the fans sigh. On the surface, it might be “just a dance.” But Seulgi was wise… She saw far, far into the future. It must be tough for her and people like her. I feel bad. »
