A Studio Choom YouTube video highlights members Michi and Nahyun performing the key move: twisting their bodies while holding each other’s heads.
Some fans praised the choreography as cool and unique.
“The beat feels like WJSN’s, and the choreography has a Dreamcatcher vibe, so it gives off that 3rd-gen feel—I love it so much.”

Others slammed the move as bizarre and risky.
“Who comes up with such choreography that’s not even pretty and just bizarre?”
“This is an insult to choreographies.”
“That’s… absurdly weird…”
“What were they thinking when they made this…?”
“It doesn’t look good, it’s bad for the body, and even for viral purposes it’s inefficient.”
“That’s gonna hurt their backs.”
“Looks dangerous. I don’t think kids should be copying it.”
