i think children can be celebrities as long as they get a good work life balance and are protected from nasty shit like sexualisation. so as tripleS is full of children i cant stand for this 24 choreography. who fcking approved this?

The situation escalated when the company released an 'Official Stage Dance' version of the performance, featuring the members in school uniforms. Despite fans voicing their concerns, the choreography remained unchanged, prompting further backlash.

Don't tell me this is the official performance video.. and uploading this instead of responding to concerns makes it seem like there's no plans on changing the inappropriate parts of the choreography. U guys really don't give a shit https://t.co/D7mxOVUDlN pic.twitter.com/XkJCbisXRk

Fans, who had hoped their feedback would lead to adjustments, were shocked when attempts to raise their concerns on TripleS's official platforms reportedly resulted in bans and blocks. This move intensified frustrations among the fanbase, known for its dedication and active participation in the group's community. "The safety and well-being of the members should always be the top priority," stated another fan, emphasizing the importance of age-appropriate content for younger idols. TripleS includes both adult members and teenagers, with the youngest member recently celebrating their 14th birthday.
