The ending of the Hearts2Hearts stage that is being criticized as being too much

There is one more member behind the center member.

THE COMMENTS:

1. If they’re going to choreograph like that, why did they compose the group with an odd number in the first place? Why go out of their way to hide one member like that?
2. The back isn't visible.
3. Agreed, it will probably be revised.
4. I hope they fix it before performing on music shows. They can make the ending visible for everyone.
5. It doesn’t look good that only the center faces forward. They could all be visible while sitting.
6. Huh? Why is the choreography like that? And how do they not even notice it? Wouldn't it be better if everyone was visible?
7. Ugh, I really don’t like this. I never understand why choreography is designed to hide one member like this. Skilled choreographers wouldn’t do this, even with a large group. Fans won’t be happy if one member is constantly hidden, and even their fancams will be blocked.
8. Does everyone really need to be visible? The choreography should fit the song's mood. This whole “part distribution” debate has even reached the ending, it’s exhausting. Just let them do their job.
9. Try imagining if it were your favorite member being hidden—you wouldn’t be saying this.
10. Even turning to the side looks bad.
11. I don’t usually complain about part distribution, but this is excessive.
12. Yes, everyone should be visible. Regardless of the mood, choreography that hides a member is poorly designed. Would you still say this if your favorite member was hidden for an entire verse?
13. Imagine if your favorite member was completely hidden in fancams for a full minute—how would you feel?
14. Yes, at least their faces should be visible in the ending.
15. Are they doing this on purpose? What is this?
16. The ending is just… ㅠㅠ
17. So does this actually match the song's mood? LOL. Letting them "do their job" led to this mess.
18. There are too many members.
19. If they’re going to choreograph like this, why make the group even-numbered? Were they originally odd-numbered, and someone dropped out before debut? The even-numbered formation feels pointless.
20. A member occasionally getting blocked is one thing, but for the ending, this definitely needs to be fixed.
21. You can still have a proper center with an even number of members, like Girls’ Generation’s "Lion Heart."
22. Wow, this is too much.
23. This isn’t just a random movement in the middle of the performance—it’s the ending. How does it make sense to block someone?
24. What’s the point of an ending if a member is completely hidden? They won’t even get the chance to be the "ending fairy."
25. They should’ve either gone with an odd-numbered group or positioned two members at the front.
26. At this rate, they might as well debut as soloists… What about the other members?
27. It’s their debut song, and yet only the center faces forward while another member is completely hidden? The choreographer needs to reflect on this.
28. They could sit down or something—it will probably be revised.
29. Is that center member really such an ace?
30. If the center isn’t even sitting down, why are they blocking someone like this? Why debut them if they’re just going to be hidden?
31. This definitely needs to be changed.
32. What does the song's mood have to do with the positioning? If your favorite member were the one being blocked, you’d be upset too. That’s why people are saying the formation needs to be changed.
33. SM has choreographed even-numbered large groups before. This level of poor planning feels like negligence.
34. SM has always prioritized pushing the center, so it’s not really surprising.
35. Why are they doing this? Why deliberately block someone?
36. They could at least shift slightly so that faces remain visible. It’s not like it’s their first time choreographing for a large group. This is really inconsiderate.
37. A company like SM must have known this would be controversial. Are they using it as noise marketing? Either way, the choreography will probably be changed.
38. What is this?
39. They could’ve just had two members face each other in the middle.
40. The entire ending is designed to highlight the center. It’s like they deliberately decided only the center needs to be seen. Even the other members are off to the side, not facing the camera.
41. The hidden member and the center member are the most noticeable ones, which is really bad.
42. It looks more like a soloist’s stage. This is really extreme.
43. SM always prioritizes the center, so this isn’t surprising.
44. They really need to reconsider this choreography.
46. The ending and chorus parts always have a member covered in the back. Usually, you can at least see them slightly, but the choreography doesn’t highlight the 8-member lineup at all. I expected symmetry because of their names.
47. The ending for the coupling song "Butterflies" was done beautifully.
    
    
    
48. It’s not about the number of parts, but they just debuted, and if the ending hides members, people flipping through music shows might not even see their faces. That’s really unfortunate.
49. What is this… Even as a viewer, it’s frustrating.
50. They’re not backup dancers, so what is this? ㅠㅠ Well, EXO did have Kai’s solo ending at the beginning too.
51. It’s their debut… they could have at least done a 4/4 formation. What is this…
52. The ending should show all members. ㅠㅠ
53. This is the ending? If it was during the choreography, maybe, but covering members in the ending is not it.
54. SM is seriously disappointing.
55. You’ll have to bias the center member to stay sane.
56. They could have just done >>>><<<< for the ending. This is frustrating, making it hard to support them…
57. Even the side view looks weird.
58. Huh? This is too much.
59. No wonder people are complaining. ㅠㅠㅠ
60. This is too much; it’s their debut song.
61. It’s not even mid-choreography—why would they do the ending like this…?
62. It’s not a rookie agency; they should have known people would complain. Did they do this on purpose for noise marketing?
63. What’s wrong with the ending…?
64. The ending choreography isn’t great, but some people here are overreacting.
65. The one I thought was the prettiest ended up in the center… but do they really have to block other members? Other members are shown in side profiles while only the center is fully visible? They completely covered one member. Why?
66. What’s going on?
67. There’s someone at SM who just can’t handle even-numbered formations.
68. I watched the stage, and they can do it properly, so why did they mess up the title track’s choreography? They dance in a 7-member formation, constantly blocking one person. How are they supposed to get solo fancams? I really hope they fix this.
69. What is this? This is too much.
70. They could have just done a 4:4 formation without a center; that would have looked nice.
71. Since it's an even-numbered group, they could have just placed two members in the middle. Why did they do this?
72. This is too much for a debut.
73. Even with an even number of members, they should have made the formations better.
74. It’s not even a passing choreography moment—this is the ending, so why is it like this?
75. Doesn’t SM always push center members the most?
76. It’s their debut song. They must feel hurt but can’t even talk about it.
77. SM doesn’t always push center members, except for NCT.
78. The members in the back must feel really upset.
