Wonhee (ILLIT) was caught in a lip-syncing match, the music was on but she forgot to put on the microphone to sing

Since their debut, ILLIT has become a controversial topic because of their weak vocals. Recently, the audience could not help but be disappointed when a clip accusing Wonhee of lip-syncing was spread across social networks.

It is no exaggeration to say that ILLIT is the son of a rich family thanks to its starting point from HYBE - the largest entertainment group. Good music and sparkling visuals right from the debut are entirely resources from the management company. Outstanding musical achievements are also built from this foundation. It seemed like the road was full of flowers, but ILLIT was still considered an unlucky rookie because it was caught in the middle of a storm of accusations from HYBE Group and Min Hee Jin.

Since their debut, BELIFT LAB's girl group has faced countless comments "like NewJeans". Indeed, from the lineup, age to concept and music, ILLIT always reminds people of its seniors from the same group.

One prominent problem of ILLIT is its vocal shortcomings. Before the storm of accusations, the group was criticized by the audience for their poor live ability. The encore stages revealed the vocal flaws of the two Japanese members - especially Moka, the most fan-attracting factor, causing ILLIT to be satirized a lot. ILLIT's initial success was denied because of plagiarism scandals and skills gaps.

Perhaps because they knew the "house chicken"'s ability, in the following performances, the company decided to let ILLIT... lip sync and the member repeatedly revealed that the group that did not sing live was Wonhee. In a recent exchange, ILLIT performed Magnetic with a handheld microphone. As the opening singer, Wonhee forgot to... lip-sync her own part, causing the group to be exposed for lip-syncing right from the start.

Not stopping there, when it came to the part where she had to sing "Baby don't say no", Wonhee continued to forget to put the microphone to her mouth, surprising her teammates and they could only laugh, looking at Moka's expression. is knowing! As for "main owner" Wonhee, she was sprayed with glue, stiffened and continued her performance.

Because ILLIT is so used to lip-syncing, this clip just "adds fuel to the fire". However, many people also frankly believe that the company should focus on retraining the group's skills instead of constantly performing and lip-syncing so blatantly.

Previously, at a university music festival, the group brought many exciting songs but left the audience completely disappointed. With a smooth performance without a single breath, ILLIT was considered to have lip-synced the entire thing, making the audience feel like they were being "cheated". On social media sites, many comments disagreed with the fact that ILLIT refused to improve their skills but instead massively accepted shows and lip-synced in such an obvious way!

Recently, the similarity between ILLIT's Lucky Girl Syndrome choreography and NewJeans' advertising dance for a fast food brand also sparked a lot of controversy. The comparison video was also quickly spread by netizens on social networks. Most agreed with the comments of the two famous choreographers. It can be clearly seen that ILLIT's reference to the choreography NewJeans once performed. From the lineup, the main movements for the chorus seem to be "integrated".

Not stopping there, recently, on Korean online communities, audiences continued to point out details showing that ILLIT clearly copied NewJeans.

The audience pointed out details that ILLIT copied NewJeans from style, design to development strategy such as: Logo design combining pixel fonts and basic fonts, album cover design and stickers, credits under the MV, highlight choreography, attending fashion events before debut, advertising after debut, taking hanbok photos with similar styles, first magazine cover after debut (Super Elle)...

NewJeans officially lost the lawsuit, was banned from operating, and was forced to return to ADOR? T.P07:32:08 22/03/2025On March 21, senior judge Kim Sang Hoon of the Seoul Central District Court's Unified Civil Court No. 50 issued a ruling prohibiting NewJeans from conducting independent activities and arbitrarily signing performance and advertising contracts.
