NewJeans’s Danielle Sparks Controversy Over Alleged Lip-Syncing at Hong Kong Solo Stage
NewJeans’s member Danielle is facing criticism online after a recent solo performance in Hong Kong led to accusations of lip-syncing.
During the event, Danielle took the stage with a cover of TLC’s hit song “No Scrubs.” While her stage presence and charisma initially received praise, a video of the performance later stirred controversy online. Many netizens argued that she was lip-syncing and made little effort to conceal it.
Some took to social media to express their disappointment:
- She didn’t even try to act like she was singing live.
- This is disappointing. NewJeans is known for being talented.
- Why do a solo stage if it’s just going to be lip-synced?
The backlash comes at a time when K-pop idols are increasingly being scrutinized for their live singing abilities. While some fans defended Danielle, stating that the performance might have been pre-recorded for production quality, others argued that live vocals are essential, especially for solo stages.
Others countered with comments like:
- It could’ve been technical constraints. Let’s not be too harsh.
- Even seasoned idols sometimes lip-sync, it doesn’t mean they can’t sing.
- She’s still young. This shouldn’t overshadow her talent.
Meanwhile, NewJeans has recently announced a temporary suspension of group activities due to an ongoing contract dispute with their agency, ADOR. As tensions rise, fans are growing increasingly concerned about the group’s future and the well-being of its members. Amid the uncertainty, incidents like Danielle’s performance continue to fuel public scrutiny.
