Jisoo, member of global K-pop sensation BLACKPINK, has recently become a hot topic online—not for a new song or endorsement, but for her dancing skills, or rather, her lack thereof. A fancam from Coachella 2023 showing Jisoo performing How You Like That resurfaced online, igniting humorous criticism and sparking a meme trend.
The catalyst? A Korean netizen reenacted Jisoo’s dance moves in a parody video, highlighting what viewers described as “disjointed,” “hesitant,” and “clumsy” movements. One particularly viral Vietnamese comment summed up the sentiment:
“She dances badly, but at least she’s enthusiastic.”
The phrase quickly became a meme, turning Jisoo’s fancam into a trending topic across Korean platforms like Threads, where the original post has already surpassed 653,000 views.
While the video unintentionally drew laughs, many fans noted the obvious effort Jisoo puts into every performance. Her enthusiasm and radiant visuals remained strong points, even as others pointed out that her dance skills appear unchanged—or even regressed—since debut.
“Jisoo’s dancing hasn’t improved after nine years? That’s a concern,” one netizen commented, while others defended her saying, “She might not be a strong dancer, but she always gives her all.”
The contrast between her passionate energy and her less polished execution has turned the clip into a lighthearted viral moment. Numerous parody videos recreating her moves have popped up, turning her into an unintentional meme queen.
Despite the playful ridicule, some netizens raised more serious concerns about BLACKPINK’s overall stage performance quality, especially amid growing fan concerns that the group’s focus has shifted more toward solo careers than cohesive group dynamics.
Jisoo’s dance skills have long been considered the weakest among BLACKPINK’s members. Critics argue that a decade in the industry should reflect noticeable improvement, especially for an idol of her status. Combined with past debates about her singing and acting abilities, this incident adds to the ongoing discourse around her overall artistry.
Still, Jisoo remains one of K-pop’s top visual icons. Her fans continue to celebrate her for her work ethic, charisma, and consistent popularity. In the world of K-pop, where visual appeal is a talent in itself, Jisoo’s charm and star power remain undeniable.
“She might not be the best dancer, but she’s still the queen of our hearts,” one fan wrote.
Whether seen as a humorous meme or a reflection of deeper industry issues, Jisoo’s viral moment has once again shown that even “bad dancing” can trend—with the right mix of sincerity, star power, and a little internet humor.
