• Netizens Have Mixed Reaction To NewJeans' AR-Free Live Singing During Inkigayo Encore Performance

    Netizens talked about NewJeans' live singing on "Inkigayo".

    On August 21 KST, NewJeans delivered another performance on the SBS music program and landed on the first place with their pre-release single "Attention".

    During the encore stage, the girls began their live-singing, which was heard clearly without any extra AR layers.

    On an online community forum, a netizen shared a full video from Youtube that presented how their singing sounded without AR:

    Some netizen comments include:

    Congratulations on your #1, the babies did so well ❤️.

    The babies are so good and so pretty ㅠㅠ.

    When I first heard this song, I didn't think the vocals were this "upbeat," so I thought it would be hard to do live. I also want to hear Hype Boy.

    It was pretty good? Danielle is so versatile, and the tone of her voice is good.

    I missed the second person, but they were fine, right? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They're not great, but they were good enough.

    This is good enough; they did well.

    I couldn't hear Haerin, but other than that, they were fine. If we can't hear you, either your voice isn't loud enough or the mic was turned down too far.

    Attention isn't a song in which your voice blows up, right? It sounds a lot like the digital version.

    Haerin was hard to hear, but the rest were fine.

    It's not like they sucked... The more they practice on stage, the better they'll get

    I'm a bit disappointed because it sounded so different from their live band version 

    Danielle was good. Her voice is also nice.

    For such a quiet song, they did wellㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Nowadays, people are just busy laughing and not singing in encores

    Imagine telling young kids they were bad because they felt like they were less than others. Let the kids have fun with their.

    Hanni is so good.

    What do you think of NewJeans's live vocal sound?
