5th Gen Idol Sparks Mixed Opinions With Solo Stage At “2025 MMA”

Hearts2Hearts‘ Jiwoo is receiving mixed reactions for her latest performance at 2025 Melon Music Awards, also known as 2025 MMA.

For her solo stage, she emerged doing ballet as the camera put a grayscale filter on her stage.

While fans loved the performance, many netizens were much more critical of her skills.

They felt her ballet skills were not polished enough for a solo stage.

In the comments of a post, netizens debated whether or not Jiwoo’s stage went well.

Some netizens felt as if the year-end festivals are for fun, experimental stages and understand that her skills will not be up to par with professional ballerinas. However, others felt it was a hard watch.

• “Why did Hearts2Hearts Jiwoo even do that ballet? Watching the stage, it’s clear she probably would’ve been better off not performing. Makes you wonder what she’s doing.”
• “Anyway, she’s not a ballerina, and it was just a year-end festival. The idol performed as part of the event—do you really think they were going to show a professional ballet? Just watch it for what it is… lol.”
