While fans were thrilled to see the group, it has been claimed that Yunjin was caught lip-syncing.
In the past, LE SSERAFIM were subjected to harsh criticism over their live vocals, which turned into malicious comments towards the members. Along with this, the group’s performances were hyper-analyzed, with some accusing the group of lip-syncing on more than one occasion.
