Netizens are criticizing IVE members for lip-syncing.

Netizens talked about how IVE's Jang Won Young and Leeseo did a special cover of IU's "Strawberry Moon" on "2022 MBC Gayo Daejejeon" on an online community forum.

People said they were "lip-syncing" instead of dancing and that they were using the same audio recording from their previous cover of the song, which was posted on their YouTube channel.

Even though lip-syncing is common in K-Pop, netizens criticized it because it was an old cover and they were "seated," which didn't leave much room for an explanation. Some people said, "This is why even good singers who are idols get hate."

A Netizen also made clips comparing the two cover videos.

Some Internet users defended the two members by saying that IVE must have been so busy that they didn't have time to prepare or practice.

Reactions include:

"Even when they sang, they didn't have to try… I was so shocked when my family and I saw this on TV."

"It's not okay for them to lip-sync to a song they already recorded on their channel."

"Lip-syncing also takes work, and this was just too painful to watch."

"It just looked like a competition to see who could be prettier on screen."

"Why couldn't they just ask Ahn Yu Jin and Liz to sing if they had to?"

"But to be honest, even the recorded version surprises me"

"I don't think they had much time because IVE was so busy. That's why they just chose a cover that was already out there."

"I watched both cover videos at the same time, and they are the same."

"This is a lot."

"I don't want to criticize them, but I hate MBC for asking them to do this."

"If they didn't even try to make a new pre-recorded version, aren't they just not putting in the bare minimum? This is just putting on a show—not it's a performance."

"So many idols are good and have good skills. It is unforgivable to lip-sync on such a big stage that most people would wait a lifetime for and to do so with a cover song from months ago."

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
