LE SSERAFIM’s Yunjin Criticized for Live Vocals at 2026 GDA
LE SSERAFIM‘s Yunjin is facing backlash after her solo stage at the 40th Golden Disk Awards.
Yunjin performed a special solo rendition of Kim Hyun Sik’s “Like Rain, Like Music.” Fans praised her angelic voice but critics were quick to point out issues with her pitch and stylized adlibs.
The controversy began as netizens flooded online with criticisms like:
“It would’ve been better without the adlibs tbh. It doesn’t suit the song. The front part is just pretty easy… Don’t come at me. It’s a straightforward song, so she should’ve sang it like that.”
“She really needs to practice so so so much more.”
“There’s no right notes she’s hitting. Because she’s not singing it properly, I can’t hear the lyrics at all either.”
Despite the heat, many fans showed pride in Yunjin’s talent and effort.
“can’t help but be amazed at her talent despite knowing she’s more than capable, it’s like looking at a pretty flower and still being entranced by how pretty it really is” — Twitter user @d6nrmdhn
Labelmates Cortis and Eunhaz also showed support during her performance holding up encouraging signs.
“our puppy at home doesn’t even cry and sings so well
she’s really good.”
“YEAH!” — fan tweet @kazumoyed
As the situation unfolds, Yunjin is gaining both criticism and encouragement.
