Snowman is facing backlash after their recent performance on M Countdown.
The hugely popular J-Pop group shocked fans worldwide by appearing on the South Korean music show on August 28, 2025, performing their track “CHARISMAX.” Their VT highlighted their influence and popularity.
But Korean netizens were ruthless in their criticism. They slammed the song’s sound and choreography, calling it “goofy.” Others questioned the group’s visuals and status as Japan’s top idols.
Their fans’ most cutting remarks included:
“Are they really the most popular group in Japan???”
“What is this?”
“Seriously, by what standard are they considered top idols..? Are they a comedy group?”
“Wait, is this really the Johnny’s [former name of STARTO Entertainment] I knew???”
Additional comments targeted their demand and overall image:
“Is there even demand for this? Their faces don’t look like idols at all.”
“So you’re telling me… that’s the best they can do?”
“Doesn’t this sound like 90s techno music?”
“Their visuals, songs, dancing… there’s not a single thing that’s decent…”
The full performance is available below for viewers to decide for themselves.
