Netizens are criticizing IVE members for lip-syncing.

Netizens talked about how IVE's Jang Won Young and Leeseo did a special cover of IU's "Strawberry Moon" on "2022 MBC Gayo Daejejeon" on an online community forum.

People said they were "lip-syncing" instead of dancing and that they were using the same audio recording from their previous cover of the song, which was posted on their YouTube channel.

Even though lip-syncing is common in K-Pop, netizens criticized it because it was an old cover and they were "seated," which didn't leave much room for an explanation. Some people said, "This is why even good singers who are idols get hate."

A Netizen also made clips comparing the two cover videos.

Some Internet users defended the two members by saying that IVE must have been so busy that they didn't have time to prepare or practice.

Reactions include:

"Even when they sang, they didn't have to try… I was so shocked when my family and I saw this on TV."

"It's not okay for them to lip-sync to a song they already recorded on their channel."

"Lip-syncing also takes work, and this was just too painful to watch."

"It just looked like a competition to see who could be prettier on screen."

"Why couldn't they just ask Ahn Yu Jin and Liz to sing if they had to?"

"But to be honest, even the recorded version surprises me"

"I don't think they had much time because IVE was so busy. That's why they just chose a cover that was already out there."

"I watched both cover videos at the same time, and they are the same."

"This is a lot."

"I don't want to criticize them, but I hate MBC for asking them to do this."

"If they didn't even try to make a new pre-recorded version, aren't they just not putting in the bare minimum? This is just putting on a show—not it's a performance."

"So many idols are good and have good skills. It is unforgivable to lip-sync on such a big stage that most people would wait a lifetime for and to do so with a cover song from months ago."

ITZY's Yuna opened up about her childhood, her school days, and even the surprising secret behind her perfectly shaped head in a fun and heartwarming video.

On April 30, Yuna appeared in a new video on the YouTube channel "You Nani Bit Ina", where she visited her old middle school. Standing in front of the building, Yuna smiled and said, “This is the middle school I went to when I was younger. Well, it was five years ago, so not that long ago.”

She shared a fun memory, saying, “I came back once after graduating because I kept in touch with one of the teachers. All the teachers came out to greet me, and the students were so excited!”

When asked if she was popular back in school, Yuna gave an honest and funny answer. “I don’t think there were any boys’ schools nearby. "

She added, "And when I was in elementary school, boys liked girls who were quiet, cute, and sweet. But I was loud and outgoing, so I wasn’t their type. Back then, boys didn’t really like girls who were too pretty—they preferred someone more plain and simple.”

Later in the video, while filming at a local snack shop, Yuna got a surprise visit from her mom. Shocked, Yuna asked, “Why did you come without saying anything?”

Her mom sweetly revealed that Yuna had always dreamed of being on TV. Yuna added, “I never thought I’d be an idol. I imagined maybe I’d be a show host, an announcer, or even a pretty comedian.”

When asked when she realized Yuna had grown up, her mom said, “After she debuted, she always asked me for feedback. But eventually, she started making her own choices, and that’s when I knew she had grown up. At first, I was even worried about her hand gestures and facial expressions.”

Yuna chimed in, “My mom used to tell me I was doing too much when she watched my fancams.” Her mom smiled and said, “Isn’t Yuna the prettiest when she’s natural? I think she’s slowly learning that on her own.”

Then came the cutest story of the day—Yuna talked about how her head shape became so perfect. “When I was a baby, my mom would lay me down at different angles to make my head round—like using a protractor.”

Yuna laughed. Her mom looked a bit embarrassed but admitted, “I tried that with my first child too, but I started too late—around two months after birth. With Yuna, I started right away.”

Yuna then proudly pointed to her head and said, “Mom’s touch!” making everyone laugh.

Fans were touched by Yuna’s honest and playful personality, and many praised the sweet bond between her and her mom.
