Group of 5th generation k-pop girls increasing Triple it is under an intense control following theirs Assemble 25 Showcase was held on May 12th. While the event worked without hitches on the surface, the post-show reactions in particular by expert musical critics-they turned on a significant controversy and disappointment. The problem? The entire showcase was synchronized with the lips.
A trendy post on the Korean online forum Theqoo Criticism collected by veterans in the sector, in particular musical critics Jung min-jae AND Kim Do-Heonwho participated in the showcase of person and took X (previously Twitter) to express their concerns.
Jung min-jae He expressed shock for the absence of live voices, also for the track trace “You are alive.”

They presented three new songs and various entertainment angles, including the song of the title “Wake Up”. The fun factors, such as the challenge of other singers for fans’ services, are fine. Surprisingly, the stage of three new songs was the synchronization of the lips. At least one song would be called live. pic.twitter.com/lvb3lrkvki

Even the song of the title, which was the last phase, was the synchronization of the lips. What did you invite a critic to a criticism without an adequate live phase? If he had been live and I was wrong, I will apologize. But my ears did not hear the members of the members and the other critics who accompanied them were the same. pic.twitter.com/exp5qkjaqm

He went further, questioning the premise of inviting critics to a musical showcase that was missing from a real live song.
“Why bring critics if you are not going to offer a real musical stage? I was furious when the title had not been performed live. If this had been only for fans, perhaps it would be enough. But this necessary sincerity, at least one live song.”
The gap was even worse in the field of similar love that followed the common return grammar of K -Pop. Of course, this is the power that fans want and the power to move K -Pop. It is free because it is K -퍕, but it is a time when K -Pop is. At this point, Triple S hypnosis is difficult to cover the bizarre reality. pic.twitter.com/vhsrkwrxgi

Critic Kim Do-Heon He echoed to similar feelings, indicating a deeper problem in the overall presentation of the group.
“Triples is known for a great concept and a creative ambition under the CEO Jaden Jeong, but this showcase was missing from cohesion. An praised group for Harmony did not sing live. Instead of showing units, they seemed uneven.”
“A world in which trust vanishes is not a dream: it is Déjà vu.”
The criticisms that surround Triple‘S Assemble 25 Showcase pushed the frustration and confusion between the Netizen. Many questioned the logic behind the critical musical invitation to an event that did not characterize live singing, while others sympathized with the group, staging the fingers to the poor planning of the agency. Despite the group’s reputation for having worked hard, the lack of live voices has overshadowed their efforts to both critics and fans.
Comments on Theqoo:
- What exactly were people looking at?
- With so many members, they could have made a live performance … if they are not sure, they could at least have used a support track and sung on it.
- Invite musical critics and then synchronize the lips? Come on, lol.
- From time to time, and as someone said in the comments, since the unitary formations and the layouts of the events change so often, it seems that all their time goes to try this. It’s a shame … it’s not as if they don’t practice. If anything, they practice a lot. It is only sad to see reactions like this. It seems that the agency continues to make strange choices for artists.
- Why also invite critics to a showcase first …?
The recourse has aroused a wider conversation on authenticity in the K-Pop performances, especially when musical critics are involved. Fans and observers in the sector are now waiting to see how Triple And their management will respond.
