BABYMONSTER’s Live Performances Spark Comparisons To LE SSERAFIM Amid Coachella Woes

BABYMONSTER is gaining popularity for their live performances.

On April 16, My Daily released an article titled “BABYMONSTER Is Getting Praise While LE SSERAFIM Is Criticized For Their Awful Live Performance.”

In the article, the media outlet criticized the group’s performance and Sakura’s recent comments about it.

Although admitting your shortcomings and saying you will do better is another aspect of professionalism, Sakura instead stated that not everyone is perfect and praised the group’s performance as their best ever, with undeserving confidence.

The article then pointed out that, amid the discourse surrounding the HYBE group, BABYMONSTER was receiving praise for the live performances.

Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER is gaining recognition as a group that has proven their skills… Of all this, the most glaring thing about BABYMONSTER is their live performances. On SBS’s Inkigayo, Rami showed off her powerful vocals in a performance that was indistinguishable from their record, and during M-Countdown, member Asa gained attention for her rap performance during SHEESH’s killing part.

Netizens reacted to the article, with many agreeing that BABYMONSTER deserved more recognition.

• “This isn’t media play from YG. I hate YG, and I don’t even watch their artists, but get out of the blogs and ask people in the real world. This is the public’s sentiment.”
• “BABYMONSTER is so f@cking good.”
• “When is HYBE going to stop fighting fans? I know idol groups usually have one member who can’t sing, but I didn’t think the whole group couldn’t sing.”
• “Foreal…”
• “I didn’t care for BABYMONSTER, so I have never listened to them but I’ve seen their live performances and was genuinely shocked. I then looked up their music video and although I honestly thought Jisoo was BLACKPINK’s weak member, I realized all of BABYMONSTER’s members were so skilled.”
• “I like skilled people. I wish BABYMONSTER the best, I am going to root for them.”
• “Although I want skilled people to do well, this type of article comparing the groups is pretty sad. It would have been enough to just say that BABYMONSTER were skilled.”
• “Who cares if this is YG’s media play, lol.”
• “BABYMONSTER is really good.”
• “I saw them perform in a short and I thought they were really good.”
