It seems that HYBE‘s girl groups LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT are both facing criticism regarding their singing and performance abilities.
LE SSERAFIM recently performed at the prestigious Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, where they showcased an unreleased song titled “1-800-hot-n-fun” and collaborated with Nile Rodgers on a special version of their track “UNFORGIVEN.”
However, despite their efforts, their vocal performance at Coachella was met with criticism.
Meanwhile, ILLIT, HYBE‘s latest girl group, has been gaining attention for their rapid rise since their debut just a month ago.
They even secured first place on MBC’s ‘Show! Music Core’ with their title track “Magnetic” from their mini 1st album ‘SUPER REAL ME.’
However, during their encore stage after winning first place, some members, including Wonhee and Moka, were noted to display unstable pitch, leading to disappointment among fans.
These issues surrounding the performance skills of both LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT have sparked discussions among fans and netizens, highlighting the importance of vocal proficiency in the competitive K-pop industry.
Korean netizens commented, “This is sad, I guess it’s true that HYBE only looks at their face and not their skills,” “Does HYBE not give vocal training?” “Wow they’re so bad,” “These two teams lack a lot of skill… Did HYBE decide to ruin K-pop?” “But they’re good at marketing,” “Do they not practice?” “I don’t think they are not singers,” “I think ILLIT members are all ok except Moka…” “But NewJeans members can all sing and dance well,” “If they can’t sing they should at least hide their skills,” and “This is making HYBE look bad.”
