The world's largest music festival, Coachella 2024, just had a vibrant and spectacular start from April 12 to 14, with the appearance of many big names, bringing eye-catching and ear-pleasing performances.
Le Sserafim is a live singing disaster at Coachella?
According to NME , this year, girl group Le Sserafim set a new record, becoming the fastest K-pop group to be invited to perform here, making their mark in the desert before their two-year debut anniversary.
The group's appearance at Coachella reflected the impact they've made on the K-pop scene, impressing with their edgy and grungy looks.
NME even rated the girl group's performance 4/5 stars. However, the reactions from the audience and online community were completely opposite.
They called Le Sserafim's performance "a K-pop disaster at Coachella", and many audiences even suggested that the group should consider lip-syncing on future stages to give listeners a better experience.
Indeed, compared to their predecessors like BlackPink, 2NE1, aespa... Le Sserafim clearly showed their weakness in singing skills when performing at the biggest music festival on the planet.
From the very beginning of the song, Le Sserafim was out of breath and their voices became increasingly weak, shaky, and out of tune as they reached the final parts. The five members also tried to support each other by shouting out the lyrics, but this only made the sound more chaotic.
"In the past 10 years, Coachella has never had an artist sing live like this", "Totally disappointed...", "Although I know K-pop artists are not good at singing live, this is too bad"... - excerpts from some audience comments.

At the event, Le Sserafim performed 11 acts, including hits such as Antifragile, Fearless, Perfect night...
Besides the criticism, there are also many opinions that it is understandable because the group has not debuted for long and in terms of dancing, cheerleading, and stage performance, the group still does quite well.
Immediately after the clips of Le Sserafim's disappointing performance were widely shared online and received mixed opinions, the live singing clips at Coachella by BlackPink and aespa also "went viral" again because of their good performance style and stable vocals when performing there.

The story of K-pop artists appearing more at the Coachella music festival in recent years has been a frequent topic, especially since the success of BlackPink and after the four girls became the main performers.
This year, K-pop also has three representatives: ATEEZ, Le Sserafim and the band The Rose. According to the announced Coachella schedule, ATEEZ will perform on April 12 and 19, Le Sserafim will perform on April 13 and 20, and The Rose will perform on April 14 and 21.
