Recently, reviews regarding LE SSERAFIM’s performance at Japan’s Summer Sonic 2026 began pouring out online.
While they received many positive responses, some criticized them for allegedly lip-syncing throughout the performance.
They called them out for pre-recording the entire set, which they claimed was exposed when Yunjin and Sakura made onstage mistakes.

- “After seeing the video, it is truly different. It’s not completely live, since there is AR in the back, but it is still live.”
- “The in-person live was good, though?”
- “What’s going on? Didn’t everyone say they did well just a few hours ago?”
- “It’s disappointing to see them doing this at a concert…it looks just like a music broadcast pre-recording.”
- “Even just listening to it, it doesn’t sound like live vocals.”
- “They only do lip-sync LOL… their skills don’t improve.”
