K-Pop Choreographer Faces Harsh Criticism After Audition On “Boys II Planet”

Netizens are cold.

Yumeki, a well-known choreographer in the K-Pop industry, is making headlines for all the wrong reasons after his recent appearance on Boys II Planet.

Known for choreographing for top-tier K-Pop acts and praised for his sleek, precise dance skills, Yumeki shocked fans and industry insiders alike when he stepped into the spotlight — this time as a contestant aiming to debut as an idol. However, expectations quickly turned into disappointment.

During his audition performance, Yumeki wowed with his dancing as expected, but his vocals left much to be desired. Viewers and netizens immediately voiced their concerns over his singing skills, urging him to stick to his professional career. He sang to “Rainism.”

Critics say that while Yumeki’s movement remain top-notch, the gap in his vocal ability makes it better for him to stick to his dancing roots.

• Is he a foreigner? He needs to practice his vocals lots.
• Did he get dropped?
• Well, I think many idols now will sound like that without AR.
• He needs to go hard on vocal training… Although from the videos, it seems like he already did.
• Coldly-speaking, he needs to stick to being a dancer.

Despite the backlash, a few fans offered support, saying his courage to step outside his comfort zone deserves recognition. As the competition heats up, all eyes are now on whether Yumeki can redeem himself… or if this audition will become a rare misstep in an otherwise respected career.
