Although there are discussions that the state of their physical conditions shouldn't be ignored, there are still criticisms that the aforementioned groups lack professional consciousness and skills.
However, JTBC pointed out that there is a girl group that doesn't only have stable live performances, but all members also boast strong vocals.
The outlet wrote:
"Their live singing skills were outstanding[...]
Among (fourth-gen girl groups), STAYC (Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, and J) is always considered one of the most talented idols among K-pop girl groups, with all members performing stable live performances on every stage."
