After facing initial criticism for their debut performance at the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival, LE SSERAFIM is making headlines once again with signs of improvement ahead of their Week 2 show.
The HYBE girl group’s first appearance at Coachella on April 13th (local time) left some fans disappointed due to perceived issues with live singing skills, including noticeable cracks in vocals. Netizens expressed concerns over the current state of vocal training for idols, with criticism amplified by social media posts from members Kim Chae-won and Sakura that were perceived as dismissive of feedback.
Despite the rocky start, LE SSERAFIM has another opportunity to showcase their talents at Coachella 2024 with a second performance scheduled for this weekend. Anticipation for their redemption grew as a video of the group’s soundcheck, widely shared on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), revealed promising improvements.
In the soundcheck video, LE SSERAFIM rehearsed “Fire in the Belly” with noticeably stable vocals and a standout high note from Huh Yun-jin, impressing fans and netizens alike. Encouraged by the positive signs of progress, supporters flooded comments with compliments and words of encouragement, anticipating a strong comeback performance.
Fans expressed optimism with comments like “Redemption arc. The girls are mad” and “LE SSERAFIM Coachella 2 is gonna be so good,” reflecting a shift in sentiment and renewed excitement for the group’s upcoming show.
As LE SSERAFIM continues to refine its skills and stage presence, expectations are high for a memorable performance at Coachella Week 2, signaling a potential turning point for the group amidst ongoing challenges.
