Netizens believe BABYMONSTER Ahyeon‘s performance style has seemingly changed after the idol received criticism.
Previously, Ahyeon has been criticized for her performance skills, with netizens saying she was belting too much or “over-dancing” compared to the other members.
BABYMONSTER has recently been performing in Bangkok, and netizens noticed a change in performance style for Ahyeon, with many thinking it was linked to the idol seeing the criticism. In one video, a netizen showed the difference between Ahyeon’s rapping before and after, with distinct differences in the volume of her rapping and movements.

Netizens had extremely mixed thoughts, and this sparked a major debate. While some praised Ahyeon for taking on the criticism and looking more cohesive with the rest of the members, others hated how her enthusiasm was being ridiculed to the point that she had to change her style.
After a comment accusing Ahyeon of being “lazy,” the same OP put a photo of the difference between Ahyeon’s dancing before and after the criticisms. Again, there was a stark difference between the scale of movements.

There was the same discourse. Some fans preferred the “new” style of dancing, while others shared their sadness that Ahyeon didn’t seem to be able to have the same fun and hype up the crowds as she had done in the past, with many blaming the “crazy” views of fans.
Netizens believe the differences are clear between the past and recent performances.
