The Weverse Con 2024, an event organized by HYBE, was held last weekend. This year’s event brought together popular HYBE groups such as SEVENTEEN, LE SSERAFIM, TXT, ILLIT, ENHYPEN, and a special guest, Park Jin-young, the founder of JYP.
Although NewJeans did not make an appearance at the annual concert, other HYBE artists put on special performances. Among them, LE SSERAFIM’s stage received a lot of attention from the public.

After their disappointing performance at Coachella, the girl group LE SSERAFIM has faced intense public criticism. Despite being highly regarded in their generation, they have now been dubbed the “most disliked girl group in Kpop”due to both their lack of skill and perceived unprofessionalism in addressing their weaknesses. As a result, every one of their performances is closely examined, including their recent appearance at Weverse Con.
Despite this, LE SSERAFIM delivered a confident live performance at Weverse Con, reaffirming their talent. The five members utilized handheld microphones to showcase popular songs such as “Unforgiven”, “Antifragile”, “Perfect Night”, and “Smart”. While the group’s strength lies in their energetic choreography, known for its intensity and demanding nature, they chose to tone it down at Weverse Con 2024 in order to prioritize their vocal abilities.
It was perceived as a “tactic”to promptly improve the group’s unpredictable vocals. Ultimately, it became apparent that LE SSERAFIM’s performance was more solid than their previous Coachella appearance.

Korean media provided in-depth coverage of LE SSERAFIM’s performance at Weverse Con 2024. An article titled “LE SSERAFIM’s Bold Live Performance Despite ‘Controversy’… Illuminating Choreography”ignited intense discussions on Kpop discussion boards.
Despite recognition for the group’s efforts, the general consensus was that LE SSERAFIM relied on a backtrack, and the sound setup at Weverse Con was designed to minimize any flaws.
Here are a few comments from K-netizens:
- The scent is reminiscent of HYBE bias.
- Is simply holding a handheld mic now all it takes to be considered a singer?
- Although their choreographies are too challenging, Yunjin and Chaewon have consistently demonstrated their ability to sing live.
- I can clearly hear the AR (audio backing track)…
- All of them require vocal lessons.
- Currently, there is an abundance of idols who identify themselves as singers but rely heavily on the AR for all of their singing.
