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.

Stay tuned for more updates on IVE!

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
