BTS V Faces Backlash Over Live Vocals at Comeback Concert

BTS’s V Faces Backlash Over Live Singing and Lip-Syncing at Gwanghwamun Concert

BTS’s V is facing heavy criticism for his live vocals during the group’s Gwanghwamun concert on March 21. Fans and netizens quickly reacted to his performance of “Aliens,” a track from BTS’s new album Arirang, pointing out pitch problems, excessive auto-tune, and weak vocal delivery.

Many expressed disappointment online, sharing harsh opinions about V’s singing quality. The backlash grew stronger during the performance of “2.0,” where viewers accused V of lip-syncing. They noted moments when V moved his mic away during choreography but his voice was still heard clearly, raising doubts about the authenticity of his live vocals.
