Okay, Kpop lovers, time to chill! Netizens have recently come for LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT to criticize their live vocals– and oh boy, they’re not holding back on their words! The backlash is so real that some online users have said that HYBE (the company where these two girl bands come from) only cares about looks and not vocal talent – can you imagine that?
Now, here’s the tea: the online scrutiny came for LE SSERAFIM after they debuted at the Coachella stage this past Saturday. As soon as videos of their set started being posted online, Netizens were quick to point out that they sounded off-pitch and unstable. The hate train has grown so big that LE SSERAFIM’s member, Sakura, addressed the backlash via Weverse, saying “No one is perfect.”

"I learned a lot from the preparation of Coachella to the day of the performance.
What does it mean to be on stage?
Is it about showing the perfect side?
Is it about entertaining the audience?
Or is it about performing a stage without being allowed to… pic.twitter.com/sS950cFEKf— joe (@elsserafim) April 15, 2024
Similarly, rookie girl group, ILLIT, who just debuted last month has been another victim of criticism from Netizens. The controversy sparked when the ILLIT girls won first place on “Show! Music Core” with their debut track, “Magnetic.” As the girl group sang this bop again for the encore, Netizens pointed out the poor vocal performance of some of the members.
What do you think of this singing drama?
