At the recent "2024 SBS Gayo Daejeon: Summer" event, LE SSERAFIM took to the stage, captivating audiences with their viral hits "Easy" and "Smart."

The performance, touted as "obviously live" by fans, has once again ignited a flurry of reactions across the K-pop community in Korea.

LE SSERAFIM's live vocals have been a contentious topic since their notable appearance at Coachella in April 2024, where discussions about their vocal abilities gained significant traction.

The group's latest showcase at the SBS Gayo Daejeon prompted fans to compare their performance against previous outings, leading to polarized opinions.

A popular post on the Korean forum, theqoo, garnered over 66,000 views and 800 comments within hours of the performance.

Comments ranged from acknowledging perceived improvements in their vocals to skepticism about any noticeable changes.

One user remarked, "Sounds about the same to me..." while another countered, "There seems to be some improvement for sure, haha."

• "But isn't the fact that singers can't sing mean they can't sing? It's like telling us to cheer them on. I guess because of kids like that, singers who can't sing are still called singers." 
• "The comments were so crazy that I watched the video, but everyone's expectations seem to have been quite low..." 
• "People think this is good? Still not good enough."

• "The sound system sucks, is that why I can't tell the difference?"
• "Please, if they come back this time, they better do encores properly...ㅠ" 
• "They couldn't sing before, you can't expect them to become great singers in just a few months. It's better than before, that's it. Wow, amazing. If you're a singer, singing live is right." 
• "Just cheer them on to do better in the future, everyone is always messing up"

Amidst the debate over vocal performance, LE SSERAFIM fans received an unexpected treat during the SBS Gayo Daejeon event: a surprise announcement of the group's upcoming comeback.
