The variety show features musical guests who are interviewed and given a chance to show off their abilities. The ending of each episode features a karaoke-like segment when idols perform live.

During LE SSERAFIM’s episode, the three members who appeared — Sakura, Kazuha, and Eunchae — did not sing but instead danced. Reportedly, they are the only group to have done so, which led to more criticism.

Just days after LE SSERAFIM’s episode resurfaced, KStar Next Door’s new episode was added to YouTube. This episode was revealed to feature the vocal teams of NMIXX and KISS OF LIFE.

NMIXX‘s Lily and Haewon were to go head to head with KISS OF LIFE‘s Natty and Belle, an interaction many anticipated.

 

However, when the video was posted, attention was immediately given to the title, “We DO have K-POP idol vocalists! Crazy high note match between NMIXX and KISS OF LIFE.

The video’s original thumbnail was also thought to be something shady. Before being changed to “Idols’ Legendary Lives,” the caption read “Idols Live: Hopeful Version,” seemingly referencing the recent live vocal controversies.

While this would have been a normal title for the show, some felt there was too much of a coincidence relating LE SSERAFIM’s video recently resurfacing.
