BTS’s Viral Live Vocals Incident Triggers Major Controversy in Korea
BTS is facing heavy backlash over a “disastrous” live vocal performance of “Spring Day” during Jin’s encore concert in Seoul.
The controversy started when Jin, V, and Jimin performed the ballad impromptu with no rehearsal and no backing track. The intention was to give fans an emotional moment, but clips went viral for all the wrong reasons.
International and Korean netizens slammed the trio, calling the performance a “live singing disaster” and a “total disaster” for each member’s vocals.
Social media and Korean forums exploded with harsh criticism:
“Today’s Live Singing Disaster at the BTS Concert LOL
Jin, V, and Jimin had a total live singing disaster at the concert… They were all bad in different ways. It honestly sounded like they were just yelling. I’m so shocked.”

“1. BTS Has Another Live Singing Disaster LOL
2. I can’t listen to BTS’s vocals anymore except for Jungkook.
‘Jimin, V, and Jin’s Vocals Were All a Total Disaster’”
“7. BTS’s live performance was awful LOL.
‘What was that, seriously? LOL’”
“9. Is BTS’s Live Performance Even Real? LOL
‘I watched the video and was honestly shocked LOL they were so bad.’
10. V, Jin, and Jimin are ruining BTS’s image.
‘If their skills are lacking, they should at least practice or take vocal lessons. What are they even doing?’”
Critics pointed out that the members appeared off-key, forgot lyrics, and looked visibly uncomfortable.
Some fans defended them, saying the performance was spontaneous and that faulty in-ear monitors may have affected their vocals. But the negative reaction dominated conversations.
“You do know they went up there completely unprepared and without in-ear monitors, right? Everything else went perfectly, but people swarm in like vultures the moment there’s one small mistake, it’s disgusting.”
“Jin should just stick to trot music, LOL. Jungkook’s the only one who actually sounds like a singer.”
“V really needs to spend less time hanging around and more time practicing.”
“They were so bad, I’m actually shocked LOL wow.”
“Instead of acting like celebrities all the time, they seriously need to take some vocal lessons.”
This performance has reignited questions about BTS’s live singing standards, especially for Jin, V, and Jimin. Fans and critics alike are watching closely to see how they respond.
