IVE’s latest comeback with “I’ve Switch” and its title track “HEYA” has been stirring up some mixed feelings.

While their vocals are, as always, hitting all the right notes, the choreography for the song has been getting a bit of a mixed bag of opinions.

The group recently performed “HEYA” on Studio Choom. Their styling in the video, and for this comeback in general, has been well-received, but there’s one specific part of the choreography that’s been drawing more criticism than the rest.

The part in question comes near the end of the song, when Gaeul takes center stage. While she’s totally nailing her part, there’s an awkward transition where Rei has to quickly move behind the other members to get to her next position.

The clip was shared on Twitter and has already racked up over 1.1 million views. Fans are questioning why the choreography was designed in such a way that Rei has to run so far, instead of slightly shifting Liz and Yujin so she doesn’t have to rush.

Most of the blame is being placed on the choreographers rather than the members themselves.

The moment has also sparked discussions on various forums, with fans sharing similar comments and criticisms.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
