A number of dancers are arguing with Monica’s ‘popping/poppin’ remarks for ‘sniper remarks’.
On the afternoon of the 20th, JTBC’s ‘Knowing Bros’ aired on the afternoon of the 20th, and 8 leaders from the recently popular Mnet ‘Street Woman Fighter’ appeared as guests.
On this day, while introducing the street dance genre, Monica explained about ‘poppin’, “All movements of pop are called popping. Next, ‘Knowing Bros’ added a subtitle explaining that poppin is characterized by strong strength in muscles such as legs and arms.
The problem was after that. He shot Monica’s remarks on the dancer’s board. Dancer A captured Monica’s ‘poppin remarks’ from ‘Knowing Bros’ on her social networking service (SNS) and said, “When I say the name of a style, it’s ‘popping’, not ‘poppin’.” Then, about 100 dancers regrammed the Instagram story and left a sympathetic message. There were also many dancers who presented the same determination and opinion as Mr. A.
However, netizens refuted the opinion of dancer A. Monica has already mentioned the fact that popping and poppin are written in parallel in the broadcast, and the reason is that this notation is already widely used in dance scenes. In particular, Mr. A and other dancers also used the word ‘poppin’ on social media and YouTube, which they mentioned was wrong, and even though the subtitle ‘poppin’ appeared in a past broadcast, I never publicly criticized it. It was also pointed out as ‘contradictory behavior’.
This led to criticism of the dancers, including Mr. A. More than 100 dancers were of the opinion that the act of sniping Monica with false information was cowardly. In particular, they also used poppin and popping interchangeably, and some said that it was too much to criticize Monica for this one case. As the criticism continued, the dancers said that Monica should act, but some netizens also argued why Monica should do it.
In this regard, Hyunjun Poppin uploaded a video to his YouTube channel on the 24th and expressed his thoughts on the controversy. Poppin Hyun-jun said, “I don’t think Monica intends to disparage or misrepresent the genre. Wasn’t this a place to introduce the genre rather than discuss it? It was a reference to street dance in a major program.” I think it might be ‘Two Much’ to talk about.” Then he said, “It is absolutely not that the dancers are posting their story to be jealous and jealous, so I think it means worry.”
However, as the dancers’ comments about Monica’s remarks and netizens’ criticism about it continue, the issue is still not subsided.
