Netizens recently stirred up controversy by accusing K-pop group LE SSERAFIM of lip-syncing during their performance at Coachella Weekend 2. The accusations surfaced after fans noticed discrepancies between the audio and the members' lip movements during the live performance.
The controversy ignited a heated debate online, with some fans defending the group and attributing the discrepancies to technical issues or poor audio mixing. However, others remained skeptical, pointing out instances where the members' lip movements appeared out of sync with the vocals.

Fans have meticulously dissected specific moments from the performance, with one particular instance from their song 'ANTIFRAGILE' drawing scrutiny. In the clip, member Chaewon is seen removing her microphone before her ad-lib concludes, yet the vocals persist, prompting widespread speculation about the authenticity of the live singing.

In another instance during LE SSERAFIM's Coachella performance, attention was drawn to a moment involving member Kazuha. Fans observed that as she moved the microphone away at the end of one of her lines, the backing track continued at a volume consistent with her "live" vocals. This discrepancy fueled further speculation and discussion about the potential use of pre-recorded vocals during the show, adding to the ongoing debate surrounding the authenticity of the group's performance.
