From the moment Bada first did the choreography, netizens knew it was tough to capture the vibes. Unfortunately, it led to several viral posts on social media platforms comparing idols’ videos and criticizing many of them.

One idol who was amongst the thread of idols being “Criticized” was former Produce X 101 trainee and soloist Choi Suhwan.
Choi Suhwan | @Swanta_TV/Twitter While the original tweet with his video stitched was deleted, the idol addressed the criticism and “mocking” he received with grace and dignity. In one tweet, the idol retweeted the video and joked that the user used just a small part of the dance, but adding that he would try his bets the next time.
아니 왜 이부분만 따서
ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ아 부끄러워 죽겠네 괜찮아요 다음 챌린지는 좀더 잘춰보죠 뭐 https://t.co/S9nNRI8WX6— 최수환 (Choi Suhwan) Official (@Swanta_TV) September 18, 2023
Nooo, why would you only use that part of the whole dance?! LOLOLOLOLOL. This is so embarrassing… But that’s OK! I’ll try to do better for my next challenge.
— Choi Suhwan
The idol then shared the full video of his dance, and while he wasn’t over-praising himself, Suhwan shared that the rest was okay. He even joked that the single part they used in the stitch was funny and his respect for choreographer Bada.
그래도 다른부분은 괜찮으니까 풀로 봐주시면 감사해요♡ 그부분만 보면 내가 봐도 웃기다고.. 인정해 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 바다쌤 존경합니다♡ pic.twitter.com/HM60zgQHCB

The other parts of the dance, I did OK. So I’d be grateful if you went and watched the full video! I admit… On its own, that part does look funny to me, too. LOLOL. So much respect for Bada!
— Choi Suhwan
Of course, it wasn’t surprising that he wanted to clarify because while the stitch might have just been done for fun, for the idols who worked hard on the dance and tough choreography, it would have hurt.
Suhwan addressed that in a tweet that gained a lot of love and attention, adding that a lot of idols worked hard, and although they might be mocked, it shouldn’t look past the effort.
아마 다른 아이돌 분들도 열심히 하고자 하는 마음에 열심히 챌린지 하셨을거에요! 누군가가 혹시 조롱을 하려는 의도에서 올린다고 해도 우리가 열심히 하는 노력들이 사라지지는 않아요. 그러니 괜찮습니다!! 관심과 걱정 감사해요!!
— 최수환 (Choi Suhwan) Official (@Swanta_TV) September 18, 2023
I’m certain that all the other idols worked really hard on the challenge, too! Even when strangers on the internet try to mock us, by uploading videos like such, they will never diminish the hard work and honest effort that we put in. So it’s alright. Thank you for your concern and support!
— Choi Suhwan
When the tweets were shared, netizens immediately praised the idol for being so honest about his feelings.
Many loved how he was not only defending himself but other idols who had come under criticism. Some netizens even hit back at fans who are sharing their apologies for mocking idols and the fact it took an idol addressing the hate to make them realize.
this is such a hanbin thing to say… it's amazing how all of hanbin's friends are so cool and admirable. you did the challenge well! ???? https://t.co/NRSgMF8u5h

I love how open Suhwan is. He is actually correct about this, and idols doesn't deserved a full thread mocking them. https://t.co/Qh7gytV8rk

this is so sad tbh.. no one should be harassed over a dance challenge. u hypocrites gave that thread thousands of qrts mocking out of context videos of idols having fun & then forget they are human too & can see everything. "Idols mental health matters" my ass. yall clearly dgaf pic.twitter.com/yjGdi3qDTX

All the ppl saying "now I feel sorry", you wouldn't have realised it if he didn't talked about it. How old are y'all? Even a 10 yr old have more empathy & kindness than y'all. If y'all are really sorry, then got to each idol's tiktok you mocked & leave a like & positive comment. https://t.co/WP76MZNB8n

While netizens’ “Mocking” of the challenges might not have been done maliciously, many seemingly forget how much work idols put into learning dances and that they can see the criticism that will hurt.
