Blame was placed on the controversial choreographer.
aespa‘s choreography in a video for their track “Dirty Work” has become a target of ridicule.
The group recently released their track “Dirty Work.”
Like most idol groups, to promote the track on social media, all the members of aespa joined together for a TikTok, seemingly promoting a “Dirty Work” challenge.
When the video was posted, it was full of hate comments and netizens making fun of the choreography, comparing it to the original, and how goofy this particular part looks, making it wrong for a possible TikTok challenge. In particular, netizens targeted Vata, who is listed as a choreographer and is an extremely controversial figure among international K-Pop fans.

Fans love “Dirty Work,” but think this specific choreography doesn’t make the girls look good.
