However, Gimugan's "Taepyeongseongdae" was not without controversy. Some viewers argued that the song's atmosphere and Gimugan's intense performance did not align with the theme of a "prosperous era." Critics also pointed out the judges' harsh evaluations and complained that excessive close-ups obscured his dancing skills, making it difficult to fully appreciate his choreography. A few viewers even suggested that the dancer Choi Hojong would have been a more suitable choice for the king's role. Despite these controversies, Gimugan has established himself as a dancer who receives both praise and criticism for his unique interpretation of the character. His "Taepyeongseongdae" performance is seen as a work that broke the traditional mold of Korean dance and presentad new possibilities, raising expectations for his future endeavors. Despite his unfortunate decision to voluntarily leave the show, the public continues to support his passion for dance and his unique artistic vision.
