The performance of aespa at the 2024 KBS Gayo Daechukje, also known as the KBS Song Festival, electrified fans due to how much the group slayed their special stages. However, some netizens seemed to think otherwise because of the quartet's dance break.

The 2024 KBS Gayo Daechukje invited fans to lay witness to the exciting stages of their favorite artists. Among the star-studded lineup, fourth-gen K-pop leader aespa was invited to showcase their charisma, talent, and charm by performing their iconic hits.

Music festivals like Gayo Daechukje are known for putting out twists and turns during stages, from having duets that resonate with the audience, to including unexpected collaborations between well-known artists.

This time, aespa's group performance took everyone by surprise by adding an exciting dance break in the transition from "Whiplash" to "Armageddon."

Unfortunately, on X (formerly Twitter), some netizens decided to criticize aespa's dance break for "lacking presence" and "unsynchronized choreography."

These remarks instantly caused MYs to defend the girl group's performance at the music festival.

Fans offered some different perspectives during the stage and strongly emphasized how these negative opinions on aespa's dancing are overshadowed by the group's raw ability to impress audiences.

In other news, aespa's performance at the 2024 MAMA Awards was hailed as the best stage performance by Genius Korea.
