aespa is facing backlash over the choreography for their new track “Dirty Work.”
The group dropped the track recently and promoted it with a TikTok challenge featuring their choreography. But netizens quickly slammed the dance moves as goofy and awkward, saying they don’t fit the song or aespa’s image.
The controversy zeroes in on choreographer Vata, a figure already divisive among international K-pop fans. Many blamed Vata for the widely criticized routine.
Fans and viewers shared their thoughts online, calling the moves “the ugliest choreo I’ve ever seen” and demanding the company stop pushing it.
