Soobin recounted that he and Taehyun tried learning the dance by watching the video at half the speed. However, they weren’t able to execute it well enough. When things got worse, Taehyun revealed in a comment that they were hit during these dancing lessons, further revealing they weren’t even the ones to get the worst of it.
Soobin’s heartbreaking memory sent shockwaves through the fans directly to BigHit Music for having such harsh training in the past. The idol also revealed that the practices had changed, and corporal punishment is no longer allowed.
