Despite their debut with “Magnetic”and subsequent wins on music shows, ILLIT, HYBE’s youngest group, has recently faced increased criticism regarding their live performance skills.

Despite receiving criticism for their vocals being unstable and shaky, the scrutiny reached its peak after their encore performance on SBS MTV’s “The Show.”Online reactions were mixed, with some attributing the issues to debut nerves while others urged for improvement.

Despite facing criticism, ILLIT persisted in achieving success on music shows, providing possibilities for development. Nevertheless, with growing expectations, particularly in terms of vocal consistency, the group confronts the obstacle of progressing under close observation.

Despite some members receiving praise for their live vocals, the group continues to face persistent criticism. Furthermore, recent allegations of AI-generated content in teaser trailers have only added to the controversy surrounding their debut.
