LE SSERAFIM Faced Huge Problem During “Coachella” Set, Claims Tiger JK
Amidst intense criticism of LE SSERAFIM‘s live vocal performances at Coachella, Tiger JK — a legendary figure in the Korean music industry— has come to the group’s defense. The renowned rapper, who also graced the stage at the festival, shared his behind-the-scenes observations, revealing that the girl group encountered significant issues when practicing.
Tiger JK, widely respected for his contributions to Korean music and his own performances, shed light on the challenges faced by LE SSERAFIM. “I saw the girls practicing. They’re really good,” he shared with fans during a performance of his own. The rapper then elaborated on the specific issues LE SSERAFIM faced during their rehearsal.
It was such a difficult performance and there were problems with the sound. We all worked hard representing Korea.

Tiger JK’s reveal has slightly shifted the narrative among fans. Many speculate that the technical difficulties could have contributed to the vocal controversies that have overshadowed the group’s Coachella debut. However, some remain skeptical.
Can you truly fight allegations that you can't sing when… you can't sing? https://t.co/gTrmgirDPo

LE SSERAFIM, the HYBE girl group that debuted less than two years ago, has been under the microscope since their performance, facing backlash over alleged lip-syncing and their overall vocal execution during the iconic festival. Critics and netizens have been quick to point out moments that seemed to suggest the group’s reliance on backing tracks and vocal overlays.
The fact that backtracks and lip syncing are banned from coachella yet HYBE still had to find a way around it cause of how horrendous they sound should be telling of the skill level concerning that group 😭😭 pic.twitter.com/C4qFxpBZjq

However, Tiger JK’s statement has introduced a new perspective to the debate, pointing to the often-overlooked technical aspects that can greatly impact live performances. The sound problems, as Tiger JK mentioned, may have played a significant role in the difficulties LE SSERAFIM encountered while trying to deliver a seamless performance.
Tiger JK’s words might offer some solace to fans who have stood by the group throughout the backlash — reinforcing the idea that what is seen and heard on stage is often the result of a multitude of factors, some beyond the control of the performers.
