IVE’s Yujin Goes Viral For Her Brave Leader Moment At Recent Concert
IVE member Yujin recently received massive praise from netizens for her expert handling of a crisis at a major show.

The incident happened during IVE’s live performance at Lollapalooza in Paris a week ago. They kicked off the set with “Rebel Heart” and followed it up with “I AM.” However, the sound system malfunctioned at that moment, cutting off the IVE members’ mics and the instrumental track completely.

However, in a recent post, a netizen drew attention to an incredible detail in the clip of Yujin apologizing. The mic in her hand was seen trembling, implying that the situation was clearly unnerving for her. Despite it all, she handled the situation calmly, restarting their performance with the sound system restored.
