The controversy surrounding ILLIT (Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, Iroha), often referred to as "HYBE's youngest daughter," has reached new heights as discussions about their live performance skills intensify.
This scrutiny comes on the heels of their debut title song "Magnetic" and subsequent victories on music shows.
The Initial Criticism
The first wave of criticism emerged during their encore performance on SBS MTV's "The Show" on April 2nd, where they clinched first place just eight days after their debut.
Despite this milestone, ILLIT faced backlash for what some perceived as unstable pitch and shaky vocals during the live encore, sparking debates about their capabilities as performers.
Online Reactions
The online community became a battleground of opinions, with netizens expressing disappointment and questioning ILLIT's live performance abilities.
While some attributed these shortcomings to debut nerves, others were less forgiving, highlighting the group's need to improve their fundamentals, particularly in vocals.
Onward and Upward
Despite the initial criticism, ILLIT continued their winning streak, securing another victory on "The Show" and claiming their first trophy on MBC's "Show! Music Core" on April 13th.
Each encore stage presented an opportunity for the group to showcase their evolving skills and build confidence in their live performances.
Growing Pains and Expectations
As expectations mount for ILLIT's future live stages, especially regarding vocal stability, the group faces a dual challenge of improving their skills while navigating the intense scrutiny that comes with being under the HYBE label.
Some members, notably Minju, have garnered praise for their live vocals, but overall, the group faces persistent critique regarding their starting skill level.
While ILLIT's debut has been marked by success on music charts, the ongoing debate about their live performance skills underscores the complexities of launching a new group under a prominent entertainment company.
In recent news, Fans of HYBE's upcoming girl group, ILLIT, are questioning the authenticity of the teaser trailer, alleging the use of AI-generated content. Clues, including inconsistencies and incomplete illustrations, have led to speculation about the involvement of AI.
Mooncube, the producer, faces scrutiny due to ties to AI-generated content. Despite criticism over the logo teaser and comparisons to existing HYBE acts, supporters defend ILLIT, emphasizing the members' journey and urging patience ahead of their debut.
