Netizens react to IVE's first live singing on a music show after debut. Criticized for weak live vocals last year, this time the girl group members proved their true vocal abilities.
On January 7, IVE promoted "ELEVEN" on KBS2's "Music Bank" broadcast. Having previously received controversy over unstable vocals during the encore, IVE seems determined to do better and show off their skills to fans.
This is the first live appearance of the rookie girl group from Starship Entertainment on a music show since their debut. In their performance, Jang Won Young and friends really did not disappoint.
Overall, the group's live performance was relatively good with only a few parts showing weak and breathless vocals. The three members who received the most praise were Rei, Liz, and Ahn Yujin. Although there are still some minor faults, this is the member with the most stable vocals. Their live vocals are said to sound almost identical to the audio version.
The other members Gaeul, Leeseo, and Won Young were not part of the vocal line, but they also showed that they had improved and performed their parts quite well. Previously, on several encore stages, Won Young was criticized for singing in a barely audible voice and underdeveloped even after 3 years of debut.
Maybe some time after debut, IVE gradually became more comfortable on stage and more confident in showing their skills. Not in vain, this group also received a lot of praise from netizens.
"They sounded so stable when they sang live today, I was surprised!" praise netizens. "IVE members are doing a great job! Their live vocals are great!" another netizen said. "People are waiting for the IVE encore stage to criticize, but today they are singing live," said another.
"Yujin's high tone is very good," said netizens. "The girls did well. Next time let's win more trophies," another commented. "Starship let them sing live. I'm sure their encore will increase in just a few days," added another. (wk/goddess)
