After a period of controversy involving Min Hee-jin and HYBE, NewJeans has officially made a comeback with the release of their double single “How Sweet”. Despite the absence of their youngest member Hyein, who is currently taking a break due to health reasons, the group has been actively promoting and performing at various university events with their remaining four members.

Despite the public’s previous support for NewJeans, their recent university festival performance has been met with criticism by some.
At a recent university festival, NewJeans brought an energetic and vibrant atmosphere to the stage, performing popular songs such as “Super Shy”and “ETA,”as well as debuting their latest tracks “How Sweet”and “Bubble Gum.”The audience was highly enthusiastic and showed their support for ADOR’s girl group through loud fan chants.
Despite this, the girl group was quickly criticized by netizens for excessively relying on the backtrack technique.
After watching the live videos recorded at the scene, numerous music fans observed that NewJeans had played the backtrack too loudly, drowning out their live vocals. The group received criticism for their obvious lip-syncing and were even mocked for using handheld mics while miming their performance.
Despite having used loud backtrack before, NewJeans is facing increased criticism after several discussions about the talent of HYBE’s girl groups, specifically LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT.
The following are comments from netizens:
- It’s unbearable to see them using hand-held mics while lip-syncing; it appears extremely absurd.
- If you are not going to perform live vocals, do not deceive by miming with a microphone.
- Without the backtrack, NewJeans’ stage would be just like LE SSERAFIM’s at Coachella. They can’t sing, so they just shout a few words to hype the crowd.
- The obvious lip-syncing is extremely awkward to witness.
- Why is it that HYBE girl groups have questionable talents…
