ILLIT’s Live Vocals After Controversy Spark Debate

Earlier this year, K-Pop idols’ live vocals became a hot topic following a viral performance by LE SSERAFIM. Since then, numerous idols have been both praised and criticized for their live stages.

Included in that list is ILLIT, who became a target like other HYBE Labels groups. The group were criticized for their live singing, with some attributing their formation to their skills.

Recently, the group’s live vocals became a topic of discussion online.

The first night of KCON Germany 2024 took place on September 28. It featured a stacked line-up that included ILLIT.

After the event, a clip from the group’s meet-and-greet showing them performing “Magnetic” was shared online

Many commented on the improvement that the group has shown in the clip, mentioning they have steadily grown in confidence since their debut.

However, on a post questioning why this clip did not go viral like ones that have been criticized, many netizens shared negative opinions about the group’s performance. Many felt that the praise was unwarranted and that their improvement was “bare minimum.”

Fans negated this, commenting on the way negative things gain more attention and that their improvement is praiseworthy.
