“Going To H*ll For That” — A K-Pop Dance Cover Group Is Going Viral For All The Wrong Reasons
Content Warning
For fans of K-Pop, there are many ways to show off how much you love your favorite group or just the genre in general. Individuals often plan events for idols’ birthdays and anniversaries or pay for advertisements to celebrate an achievement.
Another active away fans can enjoy the music is by dancing and performing in dance covers. These can take place at large random-dance-play events…

…or through dance teams formed for making covers. These cover dancers will often dress up for their dance like the fans below in the short clip of ATEEZ’s “Bouncy” shared on TikTok as seen below.

Recently a dance cover group went viral online but for all the wrong and started a debate among K-Pop fans.
In a short clip shared on Twitter, an unidentified dance group is doing a cover of NewJean’s “OMG.”
One child can be seen running in front of the group, followed by another that the cameraperson kicks. The second child flies and lands pretty hard on their head before getting back up.
The original clip has been deleted but reuploaded on different platforms where K-Pop fans chimed in. Some expressed that the child shouldn’t have disrupted the performance in that manner.
AND THATS WHAT HIS LITTLE ASS GET. i hate when people jump in when there’s a kcover group recording a kpop in public. i don’t care where the group is filming, people need to have the decency to leave them alone and let them film so the group does have to do multiple takes https://t.co/BpyGXbNQpd

Others felt that what the cameraperson did was extremely dangerous and could have injured the child seriously, saying that even if they were being “annoying,” that should not have happened.
Idk if I’m the weird one or what, but imo that’s a public space, and if you’re gonna film there, no one owes you anything. That kid had every right to be playing around. You risk being interrupted when filming in a public space and you should know that instead of harming a kid… https://t.co/XlwT58rMIc
