The recently announced lineup for this year's 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival', taking place once again at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California from April 12-14 and April 19-21, is attracting the attention of K-Pop fans both overseas and in Korea!

The 2024 lineup for 'Coachella' features K-Pop acts including ATEEZ, LE SSERAFIM, and The Rose. All three teams will be making their Coachella debut,

joining predecessors from past years like Epik High, BLACKPINK, CL, aespa, hyukoh, BIBI, and Yoon Mi Rae. In the case of ATEEZ, they'll be representing the first ever K-Pop boy group to perform as a part of the official festival lineup, although Big Bang was originally set to perform at the festival in 2020 before the pandemic cancelled the event. 

So how did some K-netizens on an online community react to these two rising stars making the 'Coachella' lineup?

Some commented,

"ATEEZ, they're so good at live stages.. looking forward to it."
"LE SSERAFIM on the rise!!"
"Looking forward to all of the teams!!"
"ATEEZ is so amazing for their huge overseas fanbase, when they don't even have a big company or a sunbae idol who passed down their fans."
"ATEEZ is going as the first K-Pop boy group? Wow, congrats."
"Wow ATEEZ. Just proves you have to be good live to make it in the U.S."
"Always amazed by how big ATEEZ is in North America." 
"In terms of the overseas fandom, ATEEZ has plenty of selling power for Coachella. Now if only they could gain some traction in Korea.."

However, others also left critical comments, such as

"Okay but isn't lip syncing not allowed at Coachella? Can LE SSERAFIM sing live??"
"Oh, it's two teams on the two opposite ends of the talent scale."
"Can LE SSERAFIM really be considered on this level without their company backing them up?"
"So LE SSERAFIM will figure out some way to lip sync at Coachella?"
"This looks like HYBE getting too ambitious when some of the LE SSERAFIM members can't even do live."
"It's no problem for ATEEZ, but the three members in LE SSERAFIM better practice like hell."
"Why ATEEZ all of a sudden? Who are they?"
"So now they're getting a bunch of nobodies to perform at Coachella?"
"Whoever got LE SSERAFIM for Coachella didn't go to their concert because they lip synced the entire concert set list kekekekeke."

Will you be going to see ATEEZ and LE SSERAFIM at 'Coachella' this year?
