SEOUL \u2013 K-pop girl group Kiss Of Life have defended the choreography in their new music video featuring a neck-grabbing move amid controversy that it is overly sexual.<\/p>\n
During a recent live stream on fan communication platform Bubble, members Julie, 26, and Belle, 22, said the moves aim to show a bold side of the quartet, defending the choreography as part of their artistic expression.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are always taking on new challenges, and we try to show a bold and confident side of ourselves. We know not everyone will see it positively, but I think it is amazing that we continue to challenge ourselves,\u201d Julie said.<\/p>\n
The controversy centres on the MV for Kiss Of Life\u2019s latest song Who Is She, which was released on April 6. In one move, members appear to strangle one another in a sequence that quickly went viral on social media. Some viewers criticised the move as overly suggestive.<\/p>\n
Concerns also grew as the video and the group\u2019s dance challenge spread among younger viewers, especially on teen-heavy platforms like YouTube and TikTok.<\/p>\n
In response to the criticism, Julie said that dance, music and art are \u201call subjective\u201d, adding that the group understand and respect the \u201cdifference in perspective\u201d.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it is difficult when some comments go too far and become hurtful,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n
Julie went on to say that all women are \u201cbeautiful in their own ways\u201d, adding there is no single standard. \u201cBut at times, anything that falls outside it is seen as strange,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Belle maintained that Kiss Of Life humbly accept constructive feedback.
