Recently, LE SSERAFIM released a music video for their well-loved track “Smart.”

Some netizens were obsessed with the video, sharing how much they loved the concept. Yet, when the video was posted, one tweet gained attention after it seemingly criticized the set that the girls were dancing in front of. In particular, fans believed that the concept and vibes of the song, along with the details in the set, could be deemed as appropriating black culture.

Yet, others found nothing wrong with the music video, believing that people just wanted to create trouble and hate for the members.

Fans also had concerns about Eunchae‘s styling. When the song was first debuted for fans on the showcase, netizens had concerns that the choreography was too mature for a minor.

In the video for “Smart,” netizens raised concerns as the young idol was seen doing the same controversial choreography but in a school uniform that was altered to make it more suited to a K-Pop music video.

Many fans thought that the issues with the styling and linking it to the movements were more obvious, hitting back at those who saw no issue with it, especially comparing it to her members who are older.

While some netizens have refuted the criticisms of the song as just following a “hate train” for the group, many fans just wanted LE SSERAFIM and HYBE to be aware of their concerns when it comes to released music and videos.
