“He’s so talented he doesn’t need to do this.”
Promoting his new single, “Retro Romance”, Generation of girls‘S Hyoyeon he uploaded a short video of himself dancing to the song. While it was supposed to be “fun in the sun,” the video has since received some comments from locals who took a completely different vibe from it.
In the video, Hyoyeon paired a tight one-shoulder top with a mini skirt, showing off all of her curves. Beautiful, sure, but some saw it that way “succinct” AND “crazy short.”
Others pointed out that, especially with her outfit and dance moves combined, Los Angeles residents would easily mistake her for a prostitute.
Multiple comments were mentioned “Via Figueroa”, a stretch of corridor known to Los Angeles residents for sex trafficking.
The streets where Hyoyeon was seen are Santa Monica Boulevard and Van Ness Avenue, in the non-dangerous neighborhood of Hollywood.
Although not exactly “hood” and definitely not “Via Figueroa”, locals continued to disapprove of the video and stated: “He’s so talented he doesn’t need to do this.”
The video in question isn’t the only one that shows Hyoyeon dancing in the street. Previous Instagram reels and even the “Retro Romance” music video show her dancing all over town in the same or equally tight outfits. But they did not trigger such intense and negative reactions as the most recent one.
Thus, it appears that the local meaning of “standing on the corner of certain neighborhood streets, dressed in revealing clothing” (which one comment called “street lord” atmosphere) that annoyed the inhabitants of the United States and/or Los Angeles.
