Netizens have been engaging in heated arguments over the lip-sync suspicions around the MMA 2023 performers. Many threw shade at the artists for not singing properly.
But there are also fans defending SHINee, STAYC, aespa, and RIIZE, claiming these groups actually sang live. They’re praising these groups for delivering performances that not only look good but also sound good.
Netizens’ divided opinions: “They’re singers. If you’re a singer, you gotta sing live,” “All the idols at MMA were lipsyncing. How are they any different from the dancers around them?” “Let’s not mix up idols and singers. Idols aren’t meant to be seen as singers,” “I think SHINee, STAYC, aespa, RIIZE sang live though” “SHINee’s live was impressive.”
