The Legendary Boy Group Who Intentionally Sabotaged Their Own Live Performance

Lip-syncing is often used during K-Pop performances. Still, it tends to be controversial whenever an artist takes the stage and lip-syncs to a backtrack.

Even during the first generation of K-Pop, lip-syncing was relatively common, leading to a change in how artists perform on music broadcasts when girl group GirlFrND had not been warned they wouldn’t be able to lip-sync.

But one first-generation boy group intentionally sabotaged their own performance all because they had been told to lip sync.

Shinhwa have always shown off their incredible vocal skills and continually astounded fans with their captivating performances.

Shinhwa's vocal line still remains superior ❤️ listen to those high notes and be amazed https://t.co/kFJ3NvzGCz

So when they were told to lip-sync a performance for their song “Hey Come On,” Shinhwa made it abundantly clear that they were lip-syncing.

Fans loved the chaotic performance as Min Woo performed without a microphone.

And members continually lip-synced to other members’ parts rather than their own, like when Junjin pretended to sing Hyesung‘s part.

Hyesung even performed Min Woo’s solo dance.

Fans loved Shinwha’s hysterically chaotic way of sabotaging their own stage.

Shinhwa doesn't always lipsync….but when they do, they lipsync to different parts and purposely make a general mess out of it. XD
