KATSEYE’s Lara is facing intense criticism after her latest TikTok video sparked a wave of divided reactions online. What seemed like just a casual dance challenge has quickly turned into a heated debate among fans and netizens.

In the video, Lara performs to Summer Walker’s “Body,” showcasing confident and expressive movements. The TikTok has attracted plenty of attention, receiving over 3.9 million views and nearly 1 million likes. Based on the comments on the platform, fans on TikTok seemingly loved it…

However, many viewers found her choreography overly exaggerated and said it didn’t match the song’s smooth tempo. Some argued that she appeared offbeat and was “trying too hard” to stand out — a critique that some claim has become increasingly common toward HYBE’s artists in general.

You can tell HYBE told these girls to be doing way too much to force comparison with other groups.

Never seen a Katseye member use the required amount of energy for choreo, they always over do it. https://t.co/gX7mJWUbNR

Despite the backlash, many fans came to Lara’s defense. Many argued that the choreography wasn’t original to her and was part of a viral TikTok dance trend that she executed correctly. They also pointed out that Lara’s moves aligned with the rhythm, dismissing claims that she was offbeat.

Fans also made comparisons to other idols who, in their opinion, do not put in enough effort when dancing.

Not to meddle in others business, but imagine saying this girl is doing too much while stanning an idol who on stage is moving less than bodies in rigor mortis https://t.co/hfwxHTYiAY
