Along with the performance of the title track during the showcase, LE SSERAFIM wowed netizens with their B-Sides, including one called “Smart.” It definitely had different vibes to the other songs, and the choreography was not something fans had seen from the members before.

Yet, some of the moves sparked a heated debate online after they were deemed “inappropriate” for Eunchae, who is still counted as a minor at 17 years old.

When the performance video of the song was posted, netizens were taken aback by the choreography. Although it was beautiful and powerful, many thought it was inappropriate for Eunchae, considering how young she is. Some pointed out that Eunchae didn’t execute the moves as intensely as the other members, but they thought it cemented that it wasn’t appropriate for the young idol.

Did y’all forget about this already…She was literally 15 here. Disgusting. If you want to go for a mature concept to attract more people then don’t choose a minor? https://t.co/CMPnleRy87 pic.twitter.com/edafp9ZvGB

Yet, others hit back at the tweets, claiming they were unnecessarily “sexualizing” the choreography and that there was nothing wrong with a 17-year-old doing these kinds of moves.

yall are the only ones oversexualizing her btw. shes not dressed provocatively and in many cultures like the one they are quite literally dabbling in, its not sexual by any means. https://t.co/LbSxu6oujB

twerking derived from africa and it was never intended to be sexual. it’s a common dance move to express positive sensuality in movement yet white americans for the past decade have been so hell bent on making it something it’s not https://t.co/dwdBJuMzDF
