A bit of momentum had built up, but it got somewhat diluted after Lim Young-woong’s dance song performance, where his lip-syncing was quite obvious. There are definitely people trying to exploit this group’s weaknesses to attack them, and the fact that they’re starting to target live performance skills could be a warning sign. They need to keep looking for ways to strengthen this area. Considering their upcoming performances, finding a clear way to overcome any controversies regarding live singing is essential.
