“You’re Good at Singing Live, Why Did You Lip-Sync at the Concert?” – Aespa Allegedly Lip-Syncing at Their Concert Became Viral Among Korean Netizens

Last February 25, 2023, K-pop group aespa officially started their 1st Asian tour concert 'SYNK : Hyper Line' at Jamsil Arena in Seoul, South Korea.

The clips from the group's first concert quickly became viral and reached the feed of some curious Korean netizens. A Korean netizen expressed his frustrations when the group apparently lip-synched to their 1st comeback song "Next Level," further stating that they don't even need to do it because people reacted positively to their live performances.

Hence, a discussion began on whether lip-synching in a concert is acceptable, Korean netizens commented:

• I heard that other songs are also lip-synced...
• It's all lip-synch unless aespa is holding a handheld mic
• They didn't even go to their concert so why are people saying lots of bad things
• Ugh, there are a lot of performances where they sang live like the awards ceremony, but at that time people didn't say anything, but this time when they didn't sang live people are saying bad things
• No, I’ve never seen lip-singing at a concert
• Do you lip-sync at concerts? It's really shocking
• Not on a music show, but at a concert?
• Concerts are being held in real-time, and there are many live stages
• Lip-syncing or not, you have to take care of yourself
• No, why did you lip-sync the day before yesterday at a concert
• But how do you know if it's lip-singing..? Is the sound the same as the original? I saw the video, but I really didn't know...
• There were also a live stages ㅋㅋ
• Wouldn't it be fine if the people who went to the concert were okay?
• Is it that circle or what kind of award ceremony did you do really well when you sang live? You can do well enough and show off your skills, so why lip-sync? I'm really curious
• I'm bored
• You're good at singing live, why do you lip-sync at concerts like the day before
• No, why the hell lip-syncing at concerts... why did you create this kind of culture
