…and those who accused her of “overreacting” and having no official purpose to “make an enormous deal out of an harmless request,” the disagreement grew fierce. Over a thousand feedback gathered beneath a web based put up discussing the scenario.
- “Seulgi may have finished the dance and I don’t suppose individuals would have learn that deep into it. I believe she put the entire thing in highlight extra so as a result of she refused. Haha.”
- “I don’t know. However seeing how persons are reacting, I consider Seulgi did the precise factor… to have refused.”

Had she lined the dance, individuals would have gone mad.

Seulgi hasn’t since responded to the controversy. Among the many followers, although, it appears the controversy is—in any case—coming all the way down to a single conclusion: It was, from the start, Seulgi’s choice to make, interval.
Seulgi has without end been cautious about getting herself concerned in something that’s doubtlessly controversial. She has, since her debut, taken the identical form of stance. She wouldn’t have finished the dance, as soon as she made up her thoughts, even when HYBE was not within the query. It’s her choice to make, let her be.
