With the tendency of the “Like Jennie” dance challenge growing, fans have also become eager to see their favorite idols participate. But when Woodung was asked to do it, he replied with a simple refusal.
During a recent livestream on the communication platform of ATEEZ fans, Woodoung replied to the request of a fan to make the challenge of dance saying that it will not do it, but he followed him with a question for the fan: “You are not active? “

That next question mentioned the reason behind the refusal of Woodoung because most of the ATEEZ fans are aware of the group’s conflict with VataThe choreographer who created the dance “Like Jennie”.
In 2022, Vata was a participant in the popular Mnet show Street fighter And he was accused of plagiarism the famous “guide” move from the “Say My Name” choreography by Ateez. The move was created by Josh Smith, Johnny ErasmeAND The ants scrubes And it was presented to the world when the song was published in 2019.
WOOYOUN, in particular, was very vocal in calling Vata publicly and even made the “bite” sign a couple of times on stage while running “saying my name” to report that the move was copied.
Given the intense objection of Woodunung to plagiarism and the fact that Vata has never been apologized for this, it is understandable why it is reluctant to take part in a dance challenge created by him. But many have misunderstood Woodoung, wondering if he was “shading” Jennie with this refusal. So fans brought on social media to clarify the air for him.
All my eyelashes do not like Jennie, but the choreographer of the song named Vata. He copied Ateez ‘to say my name dance and did not recognize or not even apologized. Wy has called him several times, but no answer, that’s why Ateez will never be associated #him https://t.co/ruppjxyctb

We are losing the revenue, this is not at all aimed at Jennie, in fact Vata claimed the move “to say my name” as his. Mind you, plagiarized people with whom she was presumably friend and never apologized, not even once pic.twitter.com/l8LDCULLHP https://t.co/qqkju33hpe

But this is actually very important, he defends himself for artists to defend their work against plagiarism. I think it should lift it every time she wants. https://t.co/oqoi9cse2e
