Aespa's Ningning Makes A Mistake On Stage...And Accidentally Proves She's Singing Live

Aespa recently performed in front of fans at the Saitama Super Arena on July 14.

At one point, Ningning accidentally proved that they were all singing live. It happened when they were performing their B-side track “Hold On Tight.”

Here, Ningning made a mistake and accidentally sang the first three lines, “Baby you and me are a twisted fantasy/Buckle up and take a seat/Hold on tight,” a few seconds too early. Her real voice was clearly noticeable over the echoing backtrack, proving that she was singing live.

She owned up to the mistake right away, explaining that she sang early as she was worried that the audio guide would not come.

It’s live so mistakes like this could happen.

They noticed that she also went viral for her “Hold On Tight” introduction which she sang a year ago. Netizens were amazed that she sounded exactly the same as the recorded version.
