KISS OF LIFE‘s recent live performance of ‘Sticky‘was severely criticized.
On July 17, a post titled “I don’t think KISS OF LIFE has much talent” ignited a fiery debate on the Korean online forum Nate Pann, amassing nearly 140,000 views.
The author of the post criticized the girl group’s live performance skills, explaining, “They had two encore stages, but each time they performed poorly. Fans excused their poor showing by blaming the members’ condition and nerves after winning their first award.”
“Today’s performance was also subpar, and now fans are blaming their busy schedules. All groups that win music show championships are busy, so I don’t think KISS OF LIFE is exceptionally so. While they’ve been at the center of recent live performance controversies, I believe they have gained the least from it compared to other groups.”
Korean netizens replied:
1.They are talented, but not on the same level as BABYMONSTER and Nmixx. If they were to refer to themselves as BLACKPINK’s successors, I believe they would face criticism
2.It’s not that they lack skills, but they aren’t quite talented enough to stand out. In my opinion, no idol group surpasses Nmixx in terms of ability. Given how much they promoted their skills, I assumed they were on par with Nmixx. However, I was genuinely shocked when I heard their encore performance
3. Every music show winner has a busy life
4. Why does KISS OF LIFE attract so many negative comments?
5. Come and listen to New Jeans, Le Seraphim and ILLIT’s encore performance. The difference in quality, especially in their vocal range, is clear. How can anyone claim KIOF lacks talent?
6. Why do fans here keep mentioning other idols and fandoms? It’s an objective fact that they missed doing an encore twice, and there’s no need for comparisons
7. I want to see Bemon encore soon
8. They were good at live performances in other programs… What was the battle with Nmixx?
9. But among the current idols, apart from Nmixx and Baemon, KIOF appears to be the best
10. It’s still the same old thing where they criticize small and medium-sized companies that are just a little bit better
