In the latest twist that’s stirring controversy in the K-pop world, BABYMONSTER’s Ahyeon is at the center of a heated debate after fans discovered that she secretly filmed the viral “like JENNIE” dance challenge — but was allegedly blocked from posting it by YG Entertainment.

The viral challenge, sparked by BLACKPINK Jennie’s latest solo hit “like JENNIE,” has been taken on by idols across Korea. Fans were puzzled when Ahyeon, known for her resemblance to Jennie and her open admiration for her senior, never posted a challenge video.

However, during a fan interaction on April 9, Ahyeon shyly revealed the hidden truth — showing a video of herself doing the dance on her phone and gesturing to keep it a secret. This adorable moment quickly turned into a major issue online, as netizens accused YG Entertainment of restricting Ahyeon’s freedom and not supporting her tribute to Jennie.

This situation has sparked debate about YG’s treatment of BABYMONSTER members, how the agency manages their public image, and whether this reflects a deeper tension regarding Jennie’s individual success post-BLACKPINK.
