LE SSERAFIM Kim Chaewon Receives Hate Comments on Pizza Photo
Despite receiving backlash, many netizens still urged Kim Chaewon to focus on practicing singing instead of indulging in pizza. They questioned how she could enjoy a slice of pizza during this time, suggesting she should prioritize practicing over leisure activities. Several comments stated,
- “Practice singing instead of eating pizza.”
- “After being scolded like that, are you still going to eat that pizza?”
- “How about learning to reduce your habit of being rude during times like these instead?”
Despite the criticism, there were also those who commended LE SSERAFIM’s Coachella performance and defended Kim Chaewon from the excessive amount of negative comments she was receiving. As one comment stated,
- “I hope you don’t have a hard time due to all the hate comments.”
- “You must have had a hard time preparing for the Cochella stage as the leader of LE SSERAFIM.”
- “Kim Chaewon, you did a great job.”
- “I’m not a fan, but I wish people would stop hating already.”
Seraphim’s Controversial Performance and Response at Coachella
During a two-week stint at the Cochella Valley Music and Arts Festival on April 13 and 20, LE SSERAFIM faced backlash for their inconsistent live vocals during their first performance. While their second performance on the 20th showed improvement, the controversy surrounding their skills remained unresolved.
The controversy escalated when Kim Chaewon and Sakura posted on social media, implying their contentment with their Coachella performance.
After their initial peformance, Sakura posted on Weverse in Japanese, expressing, “I truly believe that our determination shined through, enabling us to deliver our finest performance. Despite having debuted less than two years ago and only touring once before, we confidently took the stage at Coachella and gave our all to the performance, thoroughly enjoying ourselves.”
Meanwhile, Kim Chaewon used her Instagram to post a Story of Doja Cat making an obscene gesture towards the audience while performing at Coachella. Despite the post being removed shortly after, many online users speculated that it was a subtle response to the criticism the group had faced regarding their abilities.
Chaewon, it’s really crazy to post a video of you giving the middle finger on your story at this timing. I can only assume it’s in response to criticism of your singing ability, so don’t post it if you’re going to delete it immediately… pic.twitter.com/nD8LqSC6mD
