Korean netizens have recently taken to social media to voice their claims that the choreography for NewJeans' latest song, "ETA," bears a striking resemblance to a famous dance from the past.

Speculations arose when a video clip of the group's performance at their fan meeting, Bunnies Camp, started circulating online.

Netizens Spot Startling Similarities

During the chorus of "ETA," the NewJeans members execute a specific move in which they extend one arm outward while the other arm swings above their heads.

Astute netizens quickly drew comparisons to a viral dance performed by comedian Jeong Jun Ha during Infinite Challenge's SAT special back in 2011.

The resemblance between the two dances became the talk of the town, with netizens playfully suggesting that NewJeans might have borrowed the choreography from the popular variety show.

Interestingly, this isn't the first time that NewJeans and Infinite Challenge have been linked. Netizens previously noticed similarities between the dance for NewJeans' track "Hype Boy" and an Infinite Challenge meme.
