Yunjin performed a special rendition of “Like Rain, Like Music” by the legendary Kim Hyun Sik. While the performance showcased her soulful aura, it quickly became a lightning rod for criticism on online platforms like theqoo. Netizens pointed out issues with her pitch and what they described as an "overly stylized" delivery that distracted from the song's original sentiment.
“There’s no right notes she’s hitting. Because she’s not singing it properly, I can’t hear the lyrics at all.”
Support from FEARNOT and Fellow Members
Despite the mixed reviews, FEARNOT (LE SSERAFIM's fandom) rushed to her defense, celebrating her courage to take on such a difficult classic. Her labelmates also showed a heartwarming display of solidarity. Members like Chaewon and Eunchae were spotted holding supportive signs, with one reading, "Our puppy at home doesn’t even cry and sings so well."
Industry insiders note that the backlash highlights the immense pressure placed on 4th generation idols when covering national anthems of the past. The debate isn't just about one performance, but about the evolving standards of live vocal stability in the K-Pop industry.
