Netizens are expressing their awe at the dance skills of SM Entertainment's managers.
On an online forum, netizens reacted to a clip from SMTOWN's recent company afterparty, where a dance cover stage was held among the managers. The managers of each group under the company appeared to cover songs by the groups they work with, which led to aespa's managers performing "Whiplash."
The stage performance was also accompanied by two professional dancers, both with bleached blonde hair.
Netizens commented that while it was impressive that both the male and female managers on stage gave it their all, the female manager with dark hair, in particular, was praised for her energetic vibe, sleek dance skills, enthusiasm, and confidence!
They also noticed that at one point, the audio malfunctioned, yet this did not stop the managers from continuing their performance.
Team aespa, made up of the dancers and managers, reportedly won first place in the contest, earning prize money. Meanwhile, the audience was full of SMTOWN artists, including aespa, who was seen cheering for their managers in the clip below.
"The female manager really went off, she was insanely good, crazy"
