Heechul messes up 'Devil' dance MV, SM takes down the vid, netizens pull out the pitchforks

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]

Shortly after being uploaded to YouTube, a video by one of K-pop's top groups was removed after fans pointed out a mistake made by one member.

The performance version of the music video for Super Junior's latest song "Devil" was uploaded to YouTube on July 22, but was re-uploaded to the website by SM Entertainment shortly after fans realized a mistake made by Kim Heechul during one of the choruses of the song. Fans commenting on the video and on Super Junior's official Facebook grew concerned over SM Entertainment's handling of Super Junior's release.



(lmao @ that Jessica realness)

Fans alleged that SM Entertainment, Super Junior's agency, mishandled several aspects of the group's "Devil" comeback.
The new version of the "Devil" performance was uploaded five hours after the original video was made public on YouTube, raising concern over the loss of the views counted by YouTube. In addition to editing out Heechul during one shot, the new version contained a 12+ age warning.

"After 5 hours, SM deleted and reupload [it] again," wrote Du'o'ng Nguyen Thuy on Facebook. "All of our views are gone. Damn it, SM!"

On YouTube, many fans also expressed outrage regarding the number the view count, and the fact that the mistake shouldn't have been in the original video.
"I don't want to be rude but... I mean they freaking re-uploaded it," wrote Finix Ryn. "Only God knows how many ELFs [Super Junior's fans] have watched it. Well, thank you SM for all of your hardwork, including the one week [of] promotion."
'[I'm] just here to remind you that in the EXO "Growl" official video, both [the] Chinese and Korean [versions] have visible mistakes but they still posted it," wrote akiko9chan.

In the new video, Heechul is not visible during the moment of his mistake in the new version of the dance performance video, while in the original video, Heechul could be seen performing the wrong move before realizing his mistake.

lol this is turning into something bigger than it ever needed to be. they should have just left the original video up, mistake and all. it's not like he's the first to make a mistake in a dance mv.

Shouldn't of bitched about the dance mistake lol

[greenmoon666.livejournal.com]

they are notorious for half-assing nearly everything from video production, to fan club management, to talent welfare management and so on... Pretty much the only thing the truly ever focus on is their endless string of law suits.....

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

reminds me of that one iconic dancer (or maybe it was ga-in) who totally fucks up a backwards roll in one ver of the abracadabra mv

also that part of the choreo looks so dumb that i couldn't figure out who was doing it wrong

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

lmao same @ your 2nd sentence

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

if you gonna change something change that background or change siwon's suit .... lol watch his floating head was the biggest fail hahahaha

[greenmoon666.livejournal.com]

Change the role of the sultry seductress to a more age appropriate actress/model! ;)

[yuzuruhanyu.livejournal.com]

they should just keep that gross mv deleted tbh

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Of all the things to delete, they went for a Heechul mistake? Lol.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

lmao he looks so damn lazy in that gif tho.

[failingxsmiles.livejournal.com]

he's never sharp in choreo tho. lol at least not recently. he's very much like jessica when it comes to dancing.

[staaan.livejournal.com]

i've seen so many mvs with several blatant choreo mistakes and sm takes this one down for one fuckup... ok

that ~sexy face siwon insists on making irks me so much lmao

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]

Queen Jessica taught ha!

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

[oppameansit.livejournal.com]

i'm more surprised that sm got an intern to edit and reupload the video

i thought they were way too cheap for that

[4minutesluts.livejournal.com]

bet the intern's unpaid

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

so many dramatic fans and self-proclaimed sane fans dramatically complaining about dramatic fans

and lol the whole choreo itself is so lazy

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]
