An AESPA member received a "black sea" for lip-syncing, not worthy of inheriting Blackpink

The group AESPA "took home" 4 awards at KGMA and affirmed their inherent position. However, besides the impressive achievements, the group's performance caused many controversies, especially the suspicion of lip-syncing and the "sea of silence" from the audience.

Recently at the KGMA 2024, AESPA won 4 important awards, including Most Streamed Song, Bonsang Best Song, and 2 Daesang Grand Honor's Choice - Grand Song. This is a worthy achievement for the group's tireless efforts throughout the year. However, AESPA's performance did not receive enthusiastic response from the audience.

Many audiences clearly noticed the difference between the live singing and the backing vocals in AESPA's performance, especially in member Winter's solo. This raised suspicions that the group used lip-syncing. The group's public stage was also criticized similarly. Because they are a girl group recognized for their talent and top live skills of the generation, AESPA's lip-syncing became even more sensitive. Anti-fans took the opportunity to attack the group, mocking AESPA for "trying to lip-sync as much as possible".

Not stopping there, another detail that also attracted attention was the attitude of other artists present at the awards ceremony. The video recording the reactions of groups such as DAY6, RIIZE, Yuqi ((G)I-DLE), ATEEZ, TREASURE, NCT WISH, FIFTY FIFTY, JO1 when AESPA performed showed a rather quiet atmosphere. The audience below where the artists were sitting had almost no enthusiastic reactions, and there were even moments of "scary silence".

Many people believe that this is a "sea of silence" for AESPA, in complete contrast to the usual enthusiasm at award ceremonies. This further raises questions about the relationship between AESPA and other groups, especially those under the same company SM.

At many award ceremonies, it is not uncommon to see idols cheering and "dancing" along with each other's performances. Although not as lively and enthusiastic as at international award ceremonies, it is not as indifferent and silent as a "black sea" as AESPA had to endure above.

AESPA fans have come forward to defend their idols in the face of mixed opinions. Fans believe that it is normal for other artists to have a quiet reaction at award ceremonies, especially when the groups are all focused on watching their performances. In addition, fans also believe that AESPA's lip-syncing may have been due to the organizers' request to ensure sound quality when on air.

This incident has opened up many debates on social media. Some opinions say that AESPA is being treated unfairly, while others think that this is an inevitable result of the controversies surrounding the group in recent times.

AESPA's performance at the 2024 KGMA has sparked heated discussions about stage quality, audience attitudes, and the pressure K-pop idols face. Despite their big win in awards, AESPA still needs to face new challenges to assert their position. Is AESPA standing at the peak of glory or is it gradually slipping into the abyss of endless controversy?

AESPA is a K-pop girl group formed by SM Entertainment in 2020. The group consists of four members: Karina, Giselle, Winter, and Ningning. AESPA is notable for its unique concept that blends the real and virtual worlds, with each member of the group having an interactive "avatar".

AESPA has achieved great success in a short period of time, with a large fan base and winning many major music awards. The group is considered one of the most notable new generation girl groups in K-pop, and is expected to continue to grow strongly in the future.
