They have improved since their debut.
Koreaboo
Earlier this year, K-Pop idols’ live vocals became a hot topic following a viral performance by THE SERAPHINS. Since then, numerous idols have been both praised and criticized for their live stages.
Included in that list is YOUwho became a target like the others HYBE labels groups. The group has been criticized for their live singing, some attributing their training to their abilities.
Recently, the group’s live vocals have become a topic of discussion online.
The first night of KCON Germany 2024 took place on September 28th. It featured a rich lineup that included ILLIT.
After the event, a clip of the group’s meeting was shared online showing them performing “Magnetic”.

However, in a post questioning why this clip didn’t go viral like the ones that were criticized, many netizens shared negative opinions about the group’s performance. Many felt that the praise was unwarranted and that their improvement was “the bare minimum.”
Are standards that low now?
I just find it funny that people have lowered the bar, I watched the video expecting a performance, but it’s just a normal sing-along https://t.co/VUijmEYIjL

Fans denied this, commenting on how negative things get more attention and that their improvement is commendable.
the transition is crazy 😭😭 everyone now says it’s the bare minimum and shouldn’t be praised, but the moment a video of theirs gets to the point where they don’t meet your singing standards, you are absolutely horrible to them, I won’t understand it never https://t.co/W5aL55tRAh

okay I realize that kpopers just want to look for something to hate and even more so if it’s a girl group because it’s obvious they DO NOT want to accept good singing and they just like to promote hatred towards illits like they did since their debut https://t.co/udq1aAqwji
