The member of Newjeans, Danielle, is facing online criticism after a recent solo performance at Hong Kong has led to accusations of synchronization of the lips.
During the event, Danielle got on stage with a TLC successful song cover “No scrub.” While his presence on the stage and the charisma initially received praise, a video of the performance later aroused online controversies. Many Netizen claimed that he was synchronizing his lips and made few efforts to hide it.
Always the taps that shame 🤣🤣🤣

Some went to social media to express their disappointment:
- He didn’t even try to behave as if he were singing live.
- This is disappointing. Newjeans is known for having talent.
- Why is a solo stage if it will be only synchronized for the lips?
The recourse arrives at a time when K-Pop idols are increasingly examined for their live singing skills. While some fans defended Danielle, stating that the performance may have been pre-recorded for the quality of production, others claimed that the live voice is essential, especially for the solo phases.
Others contrasted with comments such as:
- Technical constraints may have been. We are not too hard.
- Even seasoned idols sometimes synchronized for the lips, this does not mean that they cannot sing.
- He is still young. This should not obscure his talent.
Meanwhile, Newjeans has recently announced a temporary suspension of group activities due to a contractual dispute in progress with their agency, Ador. As tensions increase, fans are becoming more and more worried about the future of the group and the well -being of its members. Among uncertainty, accidents such as Danielle’s performance continue to feed public control.
