TWICE’s Live Vocals Blasted By Locals After “Victoria’s Secret” Event, Member Apologizes
On October 15, TWICE became the second K-Pop act to perform at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
Following their red carpet appearance, TWICE were the second performers of the night. The four members performed “Strategy” and “This Is For,” distributing the other members’ parts among themselves.

Models also walked at the same time, including Quen Blackwell, whose presence was highly anticipated. However, on one viral tweet, many of the comments criticized TWICE’s live vocals, even suggesting that they distracted from the models walking.
Others, appearing to not be K-Pop fans, also called out the group’s live vocals.
Omg who is singing this sounds awful https://t.co/Q9I5FVTsuI

In particular, many seemed to point to Tzuyu, specifically calling her out for “weak vocals.”



As a result, the idol shared messages on Bubble, revealing that she actually was sick and had lost her voice.



- ONCE, I’m sorry..
- Before coming to New York, I practiced well with my vocal coach, but after arriving in New York, my throat started getting worse and worse… During rehearsal, I could still make sounds, but it got much worse during the main performance, and my throat was completely hoarse, so I couldn’t make any sound at all ㅠ
- Because my throat hurt so much, I drank honey tea and tried many different things…
Regardless of opinions on their vocals, hopefully Tzuyu and the other members remain healthy!
