IZ*ONE Draws Flak Online for Allegedly Lip-Syncing During Concert

A Korean netizen was quoted saying, "Even the main vocal is lip-syncing?"

Another Korean netizen said, "Give all their money to Ahn Yujin and Choi Yena. How are the rest of the kids earning money while being like this?"

Nevertheless, some still chose to shed light on Choi Yena's versatility. An online user praised the female idol by saying, "I think that overall, Choi Yena has the best skills in the group. First of all, I find her pretty. I felt it during Produce. When they needed her to be the main vocal, she was the main vocal. When they needed her to be the main rapper, she was the main rapper."

Amidst all of these, IZ*ONE continues to receive success. Earlier, their Japanese album amassed 216,000 cumulative sales from their lead song Buenos Aires. The track dominated the Oricon Daily Single Charts and charted weekly as well.

The group's first Japanese single, titled Suki to Iwasetai, was also a huge success. It accumulated over 190,000 sales on its release. Moreover, it is a certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.

IZ*ONE was formed through Produce 48, a survival reality show. They were then mentioned as the new top artist by Oricon in terms of music sales. Indeed, they have proven to be an ace group since the last quarter of 2018. They have already earned JP¥510 million music sales.

In June this year, the 12-piece team managed to fill out 17,000 seats during their concert in Seoul. Their shows in Taiwan and Thailand were also a success. They have been touring Japan since August, which will run until September.

Meanwhile, the group released another music video teaser for their forthcoming Japanese single, titled Vampire. In the trailer, the 12 ladies transform into a beautiful abovementioned creature as they flaunt their charm and evil facial expressions. The teaser also hints at the upcoming song's chorus and choreography.

Multiple positive remarks also flooded the comments field.

A fan was quoted praising Sakura, saying, "Sakura is the definition of Vampire of here. Finally, she can be the center!!! This is gonna be a blast!!! Can't wait for the mv."
