UPDATE: A viral dance challenge featuring LE SSERAFIM’s Chaewon has ignited intense reactions from fans, with some outraged over perceived inappropriate behavior on camera. The video was released on the Mnet M2 YouTube channel and quickly gained traction, prompting discussions globally.
In the clip, released on October 25, 2025, Chaewon and Kazuha participate in the “SPAGHETTI” dance challenge alongside comedian Eom Ji Yoon. Fans were taken aback when Eom appeared to hug Chaewon dramatically and lean in for a pretend kiss, leading to a flurry of criticism, particularly from international viewers.
Initial reactions were swift, with many expressing shock over a “man” behaving in such a manner towards Chaewon. The confusion stemmed from Eom Ji Yoon’s portrayal of her male alter ego, Eom Ji Hoon, a character she introduced earlier this year. The striking resemblance to a man led some fans to misunderstand the situation, causing a scandal.
“Excuse me, Mr. Eom Ji Hoon, you left the foreigners shocked. Please handle the situation!”
As international fans reacted with outrage, Korean fans quickly clarified that Eom Ji Yoon is indeed a woman. Comments flooded social media, noting the surprising twist: “It’s hilarious that overseas fans seriously got angry and thought the guy was crazy.” Many were amused by the confusion, stating, “No, but she looked too much like a real man while hugging her.”
Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, fans are turning their focus back to the chemistry displayed in the video. The light-hearted dance challenge has transformed into a topic of conversation, with many praising the performances and Eom Ji Yoon’s impressive transformation.
As reactions continue to pour in, the incident highlights the cultural differences in perception and the immediate impact of viral content on social media. Fan engagement remains high, with many now sharing the video and discussing the amusing mix-up.
