This is their first comeback of 2024, coming about a half-year after their last album, I’ve Mine, came out in October last year. And the teasers so far have been gorgeous, which is to be expected from a girl group as beautiful and talented, and with such elegant concepts, as IVE!

Yesterday, the members released a teaser video for the challenge that will accompany “HEYA”, showcasing what appears to be the point choreography of the dance. However, while fans are overall enjoying the song preview as well as the beautiful outfits, the choreography has been met with criticism.
In particular, it seems that the “circle” part of the dance is being questioned by some, while others just find the choreography a bit lackluster and boring. You can see it for yourself below.

Here’s what some Korean netizens are saying about the dance, sharing similar sentiments that a lot of others seem to have as well.
- “The concept is crazy, but the choreography is disappointing.”
- “No, the challenge choreography can’t be better?? It’s just one-dimensional. The song is good!!”
- “Who’s the choreographer?”
- “I think the song will be good, but the choreography is a bit boring.”
- “Choreographer…”
- “Hey, first of all, the singing is f*cking good, I don’t know about the dancing.”
- “The song is good, but what is the choreography? ㅠㅠ Please change it.”
- “It’s a shame because of the choreography…”
- “The song is good, but the choreography isn’t so good.”
