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.
