However, Korean internet users have expressed their concerns over the girl group's live vocal ability. This is because the girls are often caught lip-syncing during their Korean and Western performances.
People have pointed out that aespa has been lip-syncing ever since they released "Savage." The girls were caught lip-syncing in both large and small stages. By the end of 2021, many pointed out that aespa lip-synced for their performance on "The Nick Cannon Show," "The Kelly Clarkson Show," and "Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade."

Many specifically pointed out that Ningning, the group's main vocalist, is often caught lip-syncing. Even when she is supposedly singing the high notes, her mouth barely opens, and her expressions do not change. Even if the mic is lowered, her voice is still heard loudly. This proves that the music playing already includes their vocals.
Many have criticized aespa for not hiding that they are not singing live.
