HStan-worthy? Lately, a few K-pop groups were criticized for their apparent "poor" live singing skills. Meanwhile, Korean media praised NMIXX and BABYMONSTER as girl groups WITHOUT controversies related to their vocals.
NMIXX Hailed As 'Most Talented 4th-Gen Girl Group'
A few girl groups were recently harshly carped at by K-pop fans for having "poor" and "unstable" live singing skills.

According to the article, there is no doubt that NMIXX is on top if the topic is talent.
