Netizens’ Opinions
After witnessing the performance, online users were filled with excitement and could not contain their joy. Many of them expressed their admiration for IVE’s impressive vocal skills.
- “Ahn Yujin’s live adlib was f*cking refreshing…”
- “It’s likable because it has that Korean vibe.”
- “Why is Leeseo’s part so good? Was Leeseo always this good?”
- “The live was good and Annyeongs (Yujin and Wonyoung) are such eye-candies TT.”
- “Ahn Yujin’s last adlib sounded like it was almost raw live. They always have very little AR, only in the choruses.”
- “Leeseo’s vocals are really underrated.”
- “I don’t understand why people criticize IVE. If you want to listen to cool and atmospheric music, just find something that suits your taste. They clearly know IVE’s fanbase is young but they say IVE is failing because they’re outdated…IVE tries out a different style every time and don’t really have much to criticize in their songs. Instead of beating them down because you don’t like them personally, just ignore them and don’t watch, LOL.”
