LE SSERAFIM Lip-Synced? Girl Group Accused of Not Singing Live During Comeback Show
According to several online sources, including Korean forum posts and comments, LE SSERAFIM has been accused of lip-syncing to a live AR track, making it appear as if they were singing live.
One source mentioned that the group even recorded their breathing sounds to create the illusion of a live performance.

This has led to criticism, and people now question why the group would pretend to be singing live when their lip-syncing is still obvious.
FEARLESS (LE SSERAFIM fandom), however, came to LE SSERAFIM's defense, stating that lip-syncing during the first music shows of a comeback is a common practice among K-pop artists.
One said, "But nobody does live in their comeback shows usually, no? You guys are doing the most to hate on them."
Another fan chimed in, saying, "Look at you watching LE SSERAFIM's video diligently just to hate on them."

This highlights that not all fans are focused solely on the lip-syncing accusations, and some continue to appreciate the individual talents of the group members.
The alleged lip-syncing incidents have raised doubts about the group's true vocal abilities. People argue that LE SSERAFIM should not pretend to be skilled singers if their lip-syncing is so transparent.
On the other hand, supporters assert that lip-syncing is a common practice during comeback shows and should not be a significant issue.
Furthermore, some fans point out the group's stunning visuals, suggesting that their appearance might play a significant role in their popularity.
However, others argue that visuals alone cannot sustain a successful career in the competitive K-pop industry, and LE SSERAFIM's continued success must be attributed to a combination of their looks and talents.
Impact on LE SSERAFIM's Reputation + Comparison to Other K-pop Groups
Despite the controversy surrounding their performances, LE SSERAFIM's popularity and devoted fanbase suggest that their reputation may remain largely unscathed. The group's dedicated supporters continue to defend them and downplay the lip-syncing allegations.
In January 2023, people compared LE SSERAFIM's lip-syncing controversy to the backlash faced by IVE members Jang Wonyoung and Lee Soo during their 2022 Gayo Daejejeon performance.
The disparity in public reactions highlights a potential double standard in the K-pop industry, where groups like IVE, aespa, and BLACKPINK receive more scrutiny than others.
K-pop fans have also called out the hypocrisy, emphasizing that criticism should be fairly directed at all groups, rather than targeting specific artists or female idols.
As the debate continues, it remains to be seen whether the lip-syncing allegations will have any long-lasting effects on LE SSERAFIM's career. For now, their loyal fanbase seems to be standing by them through thick and thin.
