Actor Choo Young Woo is going viral online after participating in a girl group dance challenge that some deemed to be too much. This shows how hard it is for celebrities to meet fans' expectations.

The rising K-drama star recently danced with IVE member Leeseo in a short video. They did the choreography for the group's new song, "BANG BANG." Koreaboo says that the clip was part of a promotional reels challenge and quickly spread across social media, where it got both good and bad reviews.

Some fans thought the interaction was fun and cute, while others were more interested in Choo's performance than the collaboration itself. Most of the criticism was about how he looked while dancing, which some people thought was too intense for the idea.
One commenter asked why he kept doing dance content. A person on social media said they were upset and asked, "But why does this person keep trying to dance? His expressions turn too feral... He's not usually like that."
Some people on the internet were more direct and said they didn't like his movements or how he looked overall. Another commenter was very harsh, saying, "Wow, everything about this is ugly, from his dance to his expressions to his gaze to his hand gestures."
As the video got more and more views, the backlash got worse. Some people wondered if there was any interest from the audience for the actor to do idol-style dance challenges. One person said, "BSFR, is there any demand for this? It's getting scary."
Even though a lot of people said bad things about Choo Young Woo, he also got a lot of support from fans and viewers who thought the criticism was unfair. Supporters said that Choo is mostly an actor and not a trained idol dancer, and that it was unfair to hold him to idol-level performance standards.
Some people said that dance challenges are meant to be fun ways to promote something, not to show off technical skill. They also said that the clip was only 20 to 30 seconds long and asked why such a short video needed to be looked at so closely.
In other news, Photos from Choo Young-woo's recent fan meeting sparked heated debate online, with netizens on Instiz split between praising his looks and criticizing his appearance, attitude, and slim physique.
While some defended the actor and questioned the motives of the original poster, others made harsh and personal remarks, highlighting how K-drama stars often face intense scrutiny over their visuals and public image.
