Despite making a mistake during a live radio performance, Asa, a member of Japanese group BABYMONSTER, is still receiving praise as a female idol.
On July 17, 2024, BABYMONSTER made an appearance on SBS Radio to promote their latest comeback. While performing their song “FOREVER,”member Asa Enami was supposed to start singing first. However, she became completely engrossed in the music and almost forgot to start singing, resulting in her neglecting to sing for the first few seconds.
Despite this setback, Asa was able to bounce back quickly by singing loudly and staying perfectly in tune with the rhythm.
Despite a mistake being made during the show, Asa did not face any criticism for her actions. On the contrary, netizens lauded her strong vocal abilities, which surpassed the background music and demonstrated that she was singing live. The idol gained admiration for her live singing prowess, particularly in a time where many K-pop idols have faced backlash for lip-syncing.
Despite being members of popular K-pop groups, Japanese artists have frequently faced stereotyping as “poor singers”due to the numerous controversies surrounding their singing abilities. This includes figures such as ILLIT’s Moka, LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura, and TWICE’s Momo.
Despite being one of the group’s main rappers, Asa effortlessly balances singing and dancing, earning applause for her talents as a Japanese member of BABYMONSTER. In fact, the group as a whole stands out as an exception, consistently reassuring the audience of their live singing capabilities.
Several comments from netizens read,
- “Asa is one of the few Japanese idols I love…”
- “Do you know why Asa is earning compliments? Because she didn’t get caught lip-syncing like some others who try to create drama.”
- “Asa has got it all: a sweet voice, killer rap skills, and great dancing!”
- “Her voice is so strong, it’s clear she’s actually singing, with the backtrack just supporting her.”
- “I used to think idols lip-sync on shows like this, but BABYMONSTER is different!”
