Why Koreans care

The video's Japanese captions ("no rewind," "the end roll isn't the end") mimic the language of anime end credits, which is why one commenter guessed a bonus scene would follow — Koreans call that a 쿠키 영상 (kuki yeongsang, a bonus clip shown after the main content ends), a term borrowed from Marvel movies' post-credits scenes and now used for any extra bit tacked onto a video. Pairing a K-pop act with AVANTGARDEY (アバンギャルディ), a Japanese dance crew one fan specifically flagged as "incredible dancers," reads in Korean fandom as a genuine cross-scene team-up rather than routine promo choreography.

In the Korean comments

Majority: most comments fixate on the sunglasses mishap itself. One top comment: "Sungho: Should I step on it? Nope, not stepping on it. Step on it? Nope — and then he just picks it up in the end, so funny." Minority: a smaller set of reactions ignore the sunglasses bit entirely and focus on appearance. One comment: "Why is Park Sungho's tied-back hair so pretty..." Fandom: others zero in on the collaboration itself, impressed by AVANTGARDEY's reputation. One comment: "Whoa, I knew those people as incredible dancers — and now they got to dance together, haha."

What the words mean

Several commenters jokingly call this the 선글라스 안밟기 대작전 (seongeullaseu anbapgi daejakjeon, "Operation: Don't Step on the Sunglasses"), and a foreign viewer could easily read "operation" as real planned staging. In Korean internet slang, 대작전 (daejakjeon, "grand operation") is a stock hyperbole for any small, accidental moment — fans here are just exaggerating an unplanned mishap, not describing a scripted stunt.
