Before ILLIT, Another HYBE Girl Group was Criticized for “Worst Encore in K-pop”
Recently, HYBE’s latest girl group, ILLIT, drew criticism for an encore stage where they revealed poor live-singing skills. However, another HYBE girl group has come under fire and it’s none other than fromis_9, who is currently under the subsidiary Pledis Entertainment.
Particularly, an encore stage of fromi_9 back in January 2022 at the music show “The Show”, has resurrected.
In the video, the girl group attempted to sing their song “DM” live, leading to a “disastrous” performance.
Particularly, despite only standing and not making any difficult movements, fromis_9’s voice was shaky, and the group was unable to handle high notes. The singing also had the wrong timing and tone, creating a rather unpleasant dissonance.
As a result, many netizens even took to the comments, expressing that fromis_9’s encore is “the worst in history” for them. Some even brought up previous accusations that all of HYBE girl groups cannot sing.
On the other hand, fromis_9 was formed through the 2017 survival show “Idol School”. However, due to the producer’s vote manipulation scandal, fromis_9’s line-up ended up getting criticized, to the point of being called a “cheater group””.
The girl group is currently signed under Pledis Entertainment – home to groups like SEVENTEEN and TWS and a subsidiary of HYBE.
