X-Cross’ ’shuffle dance’ gets criticized as ‘unfit to be viewed by young teens’ August 8, 2011

Male duo X-Cross have found themselves in another controversy thanks to their ’shuffle dance’. Last weekend, the duo made their comeback on MBC’s ‘Music Core’ with their latest track, “Crazy“.
During verse one, the boys pair up with their female backdancers for a segment that representatives on scene thought was unfit to be viewed by young teens. Many were also of the opinion that the outfits the girls wore were inappropriate considering the rating of the program, and asked that changes be made on the spot.
Although their agency, GF Media, was opposed to the opinions, they eventually changed the choreography in order to allow the duo to be aired on TV.  A representative said, “We heard that the controversy had been brewing ever since HyunA’s ‘Bubble Pop!‘ was banned. We made the appropriate changes in consideration of representatives’ opinions, but we were very surprised that they had asked us to change a choreography involving some-40 dancers on a live show.”
They continued, “The dance is a very important factor for X-Cross’s title track, so we will make changes that retain the original nature as much as possible.”
