Popular Male And Female Idol Kiss — Hit With Major Criticism

While dating and relationships in K-Pop are seen as taboo, many idols have taken to the world of dramas and this includes physical contact and even kissing.

VIXX‘s Ken and Lee Chaeyeon are starring in the short-form Drama The Love Code: Loop of Death.

Chaeyeon posted some behind-the-scenes footage on her YouTube channel.

Chaeyeon teased what fans could expect from the video, including a kissing shot.

Very quickly, fans were introduced to Ken and showed the dynamic between the two stars and their characters.

During the video, Chaeyeon sparked shock by showing a kiss scene between herself and Ken.

Following the kiss, the caption hilariously said, “Not sure what subtitle to write…”

Before it moved to what happened after the kiss, including Chaeyeon looking and feeling awkward.

When the GIF was posted online, it sparked mixed reactions. While some thought it was realistic, others thought it didn’t look pretty, including issues with the angles and composition of the scene.

• Oh… it’s so raw and real… it really feels realistic.
• LOL
• It was so realistic I thought Dispatch had taken the photos; I was like, why is it so unfiltered and blunt??
• Is this behind-the-scenes? Filming a kiss scene this un-pretty is also a skill, I guess…
• Gasp! What in the world is this

• No, but the shot looks so unflattering LOL
  Don’t directors usually think carefully about angles and composition for kiss scenes…?
