aespa’s Latest Live Performance in the US Changes the Game

aespa is shaking off backlash with a much better performance on The Jennifer Hudson Show. The controversy began after their Good Morning America stage earlier this month, which got slammed for poor vocals and awkward camera work.

Soon after, fans noticed a big improvement with their latest U.S. TV appearance. The vocals were clearly live, choreography sharper, and the camera work was solid. Backup dancers filled the stage, making it feel like a full music show this time.

Clips from the performance quickly went viral, with netizens praising the girls’ progress and hard work.

Fans on theqoo also joined in with positive comments:

“This time ’round, the camera work was better and the backup dancers also filled the stage, so it seems like a music show for sure.”

“They’re good at singing live, so why have they not been doing it all this while? You can fill up a stage just by singing live.”

“Those people claiming its live-AR, you guys don’t have good hearing so just stop trying to differentiate it.”

“Just seeing the responses from the overseas fans you can tell that it’s totally different from last time. They were bad previously, and this time they were good. That’s all.”

The turnaround is huge compared to the severe criticism they faced during their earlier U.S. promos.
