Netizens react to ITZY Yuna's cover of BLACKPINK Jennie's 'You & Me' on '2023 SBS Gayo Daejeon'

AKP STAFF

Netizens are discussing Yuna's cover of Jennie's solo song.

Online discussions are buzzing as netizens express varying opinions regarding ITZY Yuna's cover of BLACKPINK Jennie's solo track, "You & Me," performed at the '2023 SBS Gayo Daejeon.' Debates are revolving around the song choice and Yuna's execution, especially considering that Jennie had never performed the song on a public broadcasting channel.

BLACKPINK fans, known as Blinks, largely stood by Yuna, appreciating her dedication as a long-time Blink and her passionate stage performance. Many expressed their contentment with Yuna's rendition and dance moves. 

However, there were dissenting voices among netizens who felt that Yuna's vocal tone and style didn't quite align with the song. They took issue with the fact that she performed the song even before Jennie could premiere the song herself on a public broadcasting channel. Some also suggested that other artists like TWICE's Nayeon or Red Velvet would have been better suited for the performance.

Reactions include:

"I enjoyed it as a Jennie fan. It's great to see someone promoting the song since Jennie didn't perform it on music programs."

"As long as Jennie's side approved it, I'm fine with it. I assume they did."

"Some people are using Blinks to bash Yuna. I thought she looked gorgeous on stage, and that's all that mattered."
"Yuna's singing doesn't sit right with me, to be honest. It's not that she's a bad singer, but her vocal tone is a bit uncomfortable."

"Do senior artists feel honored when their juniors cover their songs?"

"I find it a little hard to bear Yuna's singing in general. It doesn't seem like she isn't good at singing, though..."
"I wish Yuna had chosen a different song. Her style suits brighter, more adorable songs."

"She was just really pretty on stage. Thought nothing of it when I saw it on Twitter. That's all"
"Lol Yuna is a long-time Blink"
"Blinks love it so don't even try to hate on her using our name lol"
