Video From TWICE’s Latest Concert Faces Harsh Backlash Over “Weak” Performance Skills
TWICE is facing backlash over their recent concert performance in LA.
The controversy began after a video of the group performing “Strategy” during their THIS IS FOR tour at the Kia Forum went viral on Twitter. The clip sparked heavy criticism from netizens.
Fans and observers slammed the group’s energy and synchronization. Many said the members looked out of sync and lacked spark, singling out that only Jihyo seemed to still have stage presence.
