The group KISS OF LIFE proved their momentum by lifting the music show first-place trophy despite controversy over the choreography's suggestiveness.
On the 16th, which aired on Mnet's M Countdown, KISS OF LIFE took first place with their new song "Who is she." This is their first M Countdown win since debut and their first trophy since this comeback.
That day the members shared the excitement with fans at the scene by delivering passionate performances and showcasing their stage skills, and all members used handheld microphones, revealing overwhelming live ability.
In particular, KISS OF LIFE recently faced controversy over the suggestiveness of parts of the choreography and a challenge video that were released. In the challenge, members looked at each other, then made choking motions and performed pelvic thrusts, prompting netizens who saw it to react with comments such as "excessively sexual" and "offensive."
Related to this, the members said on a live broadcast, "We always want to take on new challenges and show confident, spirited sides of ourselves. We know there won't be only positive reactions, but we still think our challenging selves are cool. We are grateful to the fans who see it as cool."
They continued, "We are people ready to humbly accept correct feedback," adding, "standards for dance, music and art differ for each viewer. We respect critical opinions. Those people were not wrong. If they felt that way, then they felt that way."
In this situation, the members could not hide their overwhelming emotion at receiving the first-place trophy. KISS OF LIFE said tearfully, "We regarded this comeback as very important, so we are happy to have won first place. We prepared with the mindset of returning to our beginnings, and we want to dedicate this honor to the fans who supported us so hard."
