During Oh My Girl's solo concert last year, member Seung Hee performed a cover of 2NE1's hit song "Ugly". The idol group held a summer concert titled "Summer Fairytale" at the Blue Square Samsung Card Hall in Seoul, South Korea. Each member was given a chance to showcase each of their talents through solo performances.
Oh My Girl is an eight member idol group under WM Entertainment that debuted last 2015. They released their first mini album "Oh My Girl" which included songs such as "Cupid".
According to Allkpop, Seung Hee performed an acoustic version of the 2NE1's 2011 hit song "Ugly". The singer started off the song beautifully but started to choke up in tears near the end of the performance. She tried to keep her composure and finished the song. Once Seung Hee finished her performance, she let it all out. The singer bursts into tears as back up dancers came to console her while fans cheered for her.
The idol group also known to be label mates with boy group B1A4 have received many criticisms from Netizens. One of the most recent issue was when fans got angry that the girl group's outfit seemed too similar to what idol singer and BlackPink member Jennie was wearing.
According to Koreaboo, Oh My Girl member Seung Hee is no exception to the criticisms. Ever since their debut, Korean websites often showed "Ugly Seung Hee" as a related keyword. This pops up whenever her name was searched in portals.
Netizens feel that Seunghee became emotional as she remembered the past criticisms and comments she received when people called her ugly. The pas video has been gaining popularity and many netizens are now showing compassion for the idol group member. This performance reminded people that singers are also humans and can be affected by harsh words and criticisms like any ordinary person.
