Following the recent stage of CLASS:y for its new track, "Tick Tick Boom," K-Netz criticized its choreography deemed "too mature" for a group comprised of 14 years old members who are still in middle school.
CLASS:y Showcases Double Title Track Album 'Day&Night' Stages on Music Shows
On October 26, CLASS:y comprised of seven members released a new album, "Day&Night" consisting of two title tracks, "Tick Tick Boom" and "ZEALOUS."
In particular, the album depicts the transition or the birth of the idol group CLASS:y (Night ver.) who went through each process from being an ordinary student (Day ver.)
After releasing the album and songs on various music platforms, the group went on by promoting the releases on various music programs.
On October 29, CLASS:y appeared in "MusicCore" wherein they flaunted a chic image while performing a powerful "ZEALOUS" stage. In their second stage, the septet showcased the performance of "Tick Tick Boom," and then presented a more mature and elegant concept.
Both of the stages captured massive praise for accurate and synchronized dance, fascinating vocals and stunning visuals.
CLASS:y Earns Mixed Reactions For 'Tick Tick Boom' Dance Choreography– Is It 'Too Mature'?
While the team garnered positive reviews in almost all aspects, some internet users and viewers; however, raised their eyebrows after seeing the dance steps for the song, "Tick Tick Boom."
In particular, the song is an R&B dance style music in which lyrics compare the group to flowers with inner beauty. The choreography then showed off a sultry dance in which the point choreography is a Catwoman's elegant walk. There is also a part where a member would lie down facing the floor while dancing.
At first glance, the dance steps looked appropriate, especially for the genre of the song. But K-Netz was alarmed after finding out that most of the members of the group were still in middle school and a lot of the members were only 14, the youngest being born in 2008.
Their outfits made it even worse as the member slid down the floor, Won Jimin was wearing a short skirt that exposed her inner garments when she did her part.
As a result, internet users called out M25 for letting the group do such a concept when they are still too young for mature concepts.
- "Their company is not on their mind. Really letting underaged students wear something like this and dance on the floor?"
- "A lot of their fans were primary students. Why are they already going for this concept?"
- "I'm more concerned that people don't think this is a concern. Will you let your 14-year-old child or sister do this in front of a lot of people?"
- "There's nothing wrong with the concept, but these members were only middle school students."
