“Simeez (Lachica) and Renan who both worked on the choreography of ‘Whiplash’ (aespa))

“The rivalry that had already flared up once between the two”

“(at the 2025 KOREA Awards)

Daesang for ‘Choreography of the Year’ went to La Chica’s ‘Whiplash'”

Renan: They won the Daesang for ‘Choreography of the Year’

Renan: 80% of ‘Whiplash’ was my choreography

Renan: Wouldn’t it be right for me to receive ‘Whiplash”s Daesang?

Renan: Even thinking about it now, I don’t get it

Simeez (La Chica): Then you should’ve done better coming up with the “point” of the choreography

Bada: Even if Renan did 80% of the choreography…

“The general public only remember the “point” of the choreography which was made by La Chica”

Dancers: Isn’t “this” ‘Whiplash?”

“The ‘neck disc’ dance that people think of when mentioning ‘Whiplash'”

“You need to acknowledge what needs to acknowledge”

“What can be done if they made ‘Whiplash”s killing part?”

“I was really frustrated by the injustice”

Renan: I was the one who gave the dance lessons

Renan: And I went on the set of the M/V filming

Simeez: That’s trueㅎ

Renan: I was even the one going on site during the ‘Whiplash’ promotions

Renan: Even when they were shooting the dance practice video, I was the one who did the directing

Simeez: That’s right

Nain: When choreographers get pushed aside because of the chorus choreography, or when the spotlight is stolen by the highlight choreography… That’s the moment we get the most mad

Renan: I seriously cried after that award ceremony

Contribution of 80%

Chorus killing part of 20%

+ Renan received the same award in 2024 for Armageddon

1. Mnet is always trying to stir the pot

2. But most of the people don’t remember that other 80% of the danceㅋㅋㅋ What’s the point of doing 80%? You can’t win an award with that anyway, it’s only right that La Chica wins it

3. But because of problems like that, composers don’t get paid based on their share of the song anymore. There are a lot of cases where someone only wrote the chorus, but that part goes viral, and since no one knows how to split the royalties, these days they just split it evenly. It’s an unavoidable phenomenon, going viral is what matters most.

4. I can see why La Chica won if the ‘neck disc’ dance was the most memorable

5. Wow, she did Armageddon too? She’s talented

6. She’s only saying this because they’re close, but the dance became popular because of the chorus, so La Chica’s the one who deserves the creditㅋㅋㅋㅋ Everyone’s just thinking about his neck disc dance

7. They did right to award them based on the chorus

8. I can only remember the chorus too

9. I guess there’s nothing we can do about it. But when they’re learning choreography, do they learn several different versions and then pick the best parts from each to combine them?

10. It looks scriptedㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Their friendship actually looks good
