IVE is facing mixed reactions after their recent “THE FIRST TAKE” performance of “After Like” went viral.
While the group has been praised for their vocals, the video sparked debate online with one fan suggesting heavy pitch correction. The biggest target of criticism was member Gaeul.
Netizens claim Gaeul’s breath control was weak, making her voice sound unstable. Some even said this explained why she has the least lines in the song.
IVE has generally received positive remarks for live vocals before, but this clip divided opinions sharply.

“Gaeul didn’t have the right breath control that made her voice sound weak,” some viewers commented, blaming it for her fewer lines.
The controversy is gaining traction as fans continue to discuss the group’s live abilities. No official statement from IVE’s agency yet.
