Chiquita’s solo performance of “Worth It” is going viral for two reasons: her incredible star power and the K-pop argument about whether her outfit and style are right for her age. On June 26, BABYMONSTER opened their three-night CHOOM Seoul concerts at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium, launching the group’s 2026-27 world tour. A major highlight from the first night was Chiquita’s solo “Worth It” performance, which went viral across social media.

To make a big impression, 17-year-old Chiquita went for a darker, more mature vibe. With her red sequined corset, dramatic lighting, silhouette-heavy staging, floor choreography, and body rolls, the performance immediately grabbed everyone’s attention.
The backlash was louder. On X and Reddit, critics called the concept “too sexual for a minor” and said the choreography and styling felt too mature for a 17-year-old idol. Many people specifically commented on her floor choreography and her red outfit. Many repeated the same question: why give this concept to a minor in the first place?
Some praised the silhouette intro and said her presence carried the whole performance. Many fans called it the best part of the show. Clips showcasing her charisma spread quickly, with viewers amazed by how naturally she performed alone, especially as the group’s youngest member.
YG Entertainment has not released a statement specifically addressing the controversy. Still, the discussion about Chiquita’s “Worth It” performance continues to grow.
