In an online community, netizens discussed (G)I-DLE's dance skills and claimed that the girl group was lacking THIS "important" physical aspect.
Here's what people are saying.
(G)I-DLE Members' Height Examined by K-Netz & Neverlands, Group's Dancing Skills Brought into Discussion
On February 3, netizens gathered in an online thread titled, "When I look at (G)I-DLE, I end up thinking height is really important."
The author explained that the members' ability to move their lower body well was hindered due to their short height and tall heels, as their dance moves looked "uncomfortable." Contrarily, OP stated that (G)I-DLE would've danced better if they were tall and had shorter heels.
OP mentioned that their newest title track "Super Lady" suited taller idols. It also followed the choreography for "Wife" fitted (G)I-DLE more since all members exuded a casual vibe with their baggy fashion.
"The members are all short, so when they wear heels to dance, they can't move their lower body well and they look uncomfortable. If they were tall, they could've worn shorter heels and danced way better than they do now.
This song (Super Lady) fits taller kids better, that's why all five of them looked like they were having a hard time."
"In their song 'Wife,' they were all in sync with each other and danced the choreography well. It's because they were wearing sneakers and baggy outfits. It's a shame since shorter kids can't show one hundred percent of their dance skills because of their heels."
Netizens remarked that (G)I-DLE only lacked dancing skills, to the point of having them compared with other female artists. Some also agreed with the OP's take regarding (G)I-DLE wearing sneakers.
Read their comments below:
- "I think they're just bad dancers. Winter of aespa uses her lower body so well when she dances and she's 164. She's 3cm taller than Miyeon and Shuhua, and 1 cm taller than Yuqi and Minnie is 3 cm taller."
- "Wearing high heels can't be helped though. They were doing fine when they wore sneakers."
However, some argued that (G)I-DLE members weren't bad dancers and called out the critics who doubted the group's performance skills.
International fans also countered the opinion on (G)I-DLE's height, while others stated that "Mega Crew" concepts like "Super Lady" suited other groups with strong dance lines.
- "I've never viewed (G)I-DLE as bad dancers. They're just being bashed on Pann, for real, I don't know why they're considered bad at dancing."
- "Their dancing was fine."
- "I've seen their challenges on YouTube shorts here and there and thought their dancing was fine. Are they bad dancers? I can't really tell."
- "They're not bad, but they're not the best. They're not super short either since I've seen them in other styling that made them look taller."
- "Mega crew kinda thing is suitable for a group like ITZY. For (G)I-DLE, it showcases their weak points."
