Netizens react to AKMU's Chanhyuk shaving his head on 'Inkigayo'

AKP STAFF

Netizens are responding to the performance of AKMU's Chanhyuk shaving his head. 

On the latest episode of 'Inkigayo,' the AKMU member performed his solo song "Panorama" while having his head shaven on stage in real time. Chanhyuk later explained that the performance embodies the meaning of rebirth, following the storyline of his album's first track, "Eyewitness Account."

On online community forums, netizens commented on his performance style and gave their opinions on the value of his intended artistry. Almost all shared that this is more of a 'performance art' and that his focus is on the freedom of self-expression.

While some praised Chanhyuk for his bravery and creativity, others mentioned that he should have "saved this kind of personal performance for a solo concert." For the most part, netizens found the performance interesting and acknowledged him as a unique artist. 

Reactions include:

"People do lip-synch on stage so I don't know why this is an issue"

"Wow he is really an artist"
"We need an artist like him, too. We are already so tired of the same old things"

 "I support him"
"I thought the performance was well-suited to the song"
"It felt like I was watching a Hollywood performance"
"I can't believe this is a domestic TV show"
"It's a little too extreme for my taste"
"I don't love it based on my own standard lol I don't think the masses commenting that it's 'okay since he is not harming anyone' is something that even applies here lol people are too quick to be moved one way or another"

What do you think?
