On May 14, the emerging girl group TripleS achieved a significant milestone by clinching their first win on a Korean music show, surpassing competitors Kim Jae-hwan and YOUNITE. The victory marked a celebratory moment for the group, known as the “largest girl group in K-Pop,” with all 24 members taking center stage for a spirited encore performance following their win. Despite some members relying on lyric sheets, the group exuded joy and enthusiasm throughout the performance.
However, contrasting the upbeat atmosphere on stage, the camera captured a range of reactions from the audience. While many fans cheered passionately, a segment of the audience displayed unusual responses such as head-shaking, frowning, turning away, and even covering their ears during TripleS’s performance.
Speculation surfaced online regarding the audience’s behavior, with theories circulating about possible discomfort caused by a member’s unexpected shout or dissatisfaction with TripleS’s victory. Netizens weighed in with varied opinions, defending the group’s achievement and admonishing what they perceived as disrespectful conduct from certain audience members.
TripleS, introduced under Modhaus through a pre-debut project and officially debuting in May 2022, has garnered attention for their unique approach as a 24-member group. With their recent album “ASSEMBLE24” released on May 8, TripleS continues to carve a path in the competitive K-Pop challenges and embrace their distinct identity as the industry’s largest girl group.
