ILLIT Wonhee’s Live Vocals After Lip-Sync Debate Become A Hot Topic

A recent clip of ILLIT’s Wonhee singing has become a hot topic online.

In April 2025, ILLIT appeared on “It’s Live” where they performed many songs, including their hit “Magnetic.” The performance quickly resulted in debates over whether or not the group were singing live or not, with some accusing them of lip syncing.

ILLIT also performed “Almond Chocolate,” their second Japanese single. When it was time for Wonhee’s difficult triple high note, the idol knocked it out of the park, and earned cheers for her efforts.
