Recently, netizens have accused a variety show of “shading” LE SSERAFIM‘s live vocals.
As netizens have attacked LE SSERAFIM over their live vocals, often moving from constructive criticism to outright hate, past incidents have resurfaced.
Recently, netizens recalled LE SSERAFIM’s appearance on the variety show KStar Next Door, hosted by entertainer Jonathan.
The variety show features musical guests who are interviewed and given a chance to show off their abilities. The ending of each episode features a karaoke-like segment when idols perform live.
During LE SSERAFIM’s episode, the three members who appeared — Sakura, Kazuha, and Eunchae — did not sing but instead danced. Reportedly, they are the only group to have done so, which led to more criticism.
LE SSERAFIM Under Fire Once Again For Replacing Live Singing With Dancing On Variety Show
Just days after LE SSERAFIM’s episode resurfaced, KStar Next Door’s new episode was added to YouTube. This episode was revealed to feature the vocal teams of NMIXX and KISS OF LIFE.
NMIXX‘s Lily and Haewon were to go head to head with KISS OF LIFE‘s Natty and Belle, an interaction many anticipated.

However, when the video was posted, attention was immediately given to the title, “We DO have K-POP idol vocalists! Crazy high note match between NMIXX and KISS OF LIFE.”
The video’s original thumbnail was also thought to be something shady. Before being changed to “Idol(‘s) Live Legend,” the caption read “Idol(‘s) Live Hope Edition,” seemingly referencing the recent live vocal controversies.
While this would have been a normal title for the show, some felt there was too much of a coincidence relating LE SSERAFIM’s video recently resurfacing.
