Although Rocky is known as one of the group’s rappers, he took the field to prove his vocal skills with a new take on the Korean national anthem. He also showed his hometown pride, being selected as the performer because it took place where he was born. As soon as the clip was posted on Twitter of the performance, it made its way onto the Korean platform theqoo where Korean netizens shared their thoughts.

Korean netizens discussed the unique arrangement of the song, warning everyone “not [to] bash him” but wishing Rocky had “sung the original version.

  • “Who is it? I think things got out of hand because he was trying to do his best. Let’s not bash him for that.”
  • “The arrangement is a bit extreme, though I guess had Sohyang done the same, she would’ve gotten a standing ovation.”
  • “It’s honestly too bad… It would’ve been fine had he sung the original version.”
  • “Oh, no…”

Commenters also said they “feel bad for him” and noted how the arrangement didn’t suit Rocky’s vocals or show his talent.

  • “My friend who went to see this ball game said people had trouble holding back their laughter during the national anthem. I see what she meant now, LOL.”
  • “It’s not about who the idol is. It’s more so about how the performance was. It’s not about the arrangement. It feels like the performer didn’t have the talent to actually pull this off.”
  • “Um… I guess butchering the national anthem like that is okay to do at karaoke.”
  • “I’m bummed and I feel sorry for him that it didn’t work out for him because it seems like he tried but failed.”
  • “I think it’s okay to switch up the national anthem a little bit. But it should be done with taste and skill, which I don’t think he had either. It would’ve been much better had he sang the original version. I feel bad for him because this clip is going to be on the internet forever.”

Other Korean netizens were blunt in being “super embarrassed for him.

  • “Is it even customary to sing the national anthem before a baseball game…?”
  • “…? This is f*cking weird… LOL.”
  • “Wow, I’m cackling. Sh*t. LMAO.”
  • “People who were at the game felt super embarrassed for him, too. Haha.”
  • “What even is this?”

Seeing all the criticism and negative comments, international K-Pop fans came to Rocky’s defense by saying how proud of him they were and complimenting him on his talent.
