Various Reactions Resulted From The Recent Controversy Over Idols’ Live Singing Skills

Following the underwhelming showing of HYBE’s girl group LE SSERAFIM at the well-known US music festival Coachella, many netizens have been voicing their dissatisfaction with idols who display subpar singing abilities. In the midst of this debate surrounding live performances, various reactions from the public have been observed.

Initially, a newly formed group consisting of several foreign members held a showcase this week. However, it was discovered that they had lip-synced instead of singing live, giving the impression that they were not skilled at performing in Korean. During the event, the group faced intense interrogation from journalists, who posed questions such as, “Being able to sing live is a fundamental skill for singers. Do you feel confident in performing live on stage?”

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz surrounding live singing in online communities. As a result, live performances by talented new singers and throwback performances by 90s singers have been gaining traction online. Additionally, there has been a rise in popularity for videos of everyday people showcasing their impressive singing abilities, causing a resurgence of older live videos in online communities.

During this time, a new audition program called “Girls on Fire”was launched, which focused on showcasing the live singing skills of a girl group. This program immediately grabbed the attention of many, including netizens, as it aimed to challenge the public’s preconceived notions about girl groups. The aspiring vocalists featured on the show are receiving positive feedback for their efforts in breaking stereotypes.

The original value of singers and their live singing skills, which have been overshadowed by the focus on K-pop’s global appeal and performances in recent years, is once again being highlighted.

The recent public backlash has served as a valuable lesson for the K-pop industry on the importance of idols’ skills and appearance being in harmony. As a result of these issues, the public’s scrutiny of idol singers’ performances is expected to intensify in the near future.
