K-netizens are buzzing over MEOVV's debut stage on a music program.
On September 8, THEBLACKLABEL’s highly anticipated rookie group made their first appearance on 'Inkigayo,' delivering an electrifying debut performance of their title track "MEOW." The members rocked baggy denim outfits, fully embracing an ultra hip-hop concept.
Reactions from netizens were mixed. Many praised the group's visuals and dance moves, with particular attention given to Anna, Gawon, and Ella for their stunning looks and star-quality presence.
However, some expressed disappointment over the fact that the members did not sing live. They noted that some members "didn’t even try to sync their lips," and questioned their "ability to even lip-sync properly."
On the other hand, some fans defended MEOVV, placing faith in their producer Teddy's knack for finding talented members, and pointing out that the group hasn't yet had the chance to showcase their live singing skills. One commenter even mentioned the saying, "If a group is bad at lip-syncing, it’s a good sign they can sing live well."
Here are some of the comments from netizens:
"I love this song..."
"Gawon and Ella are off the charts... so amazing."
"Anna is so pretty in particular."
"Sooin and Gawon are so good at what they do."
"If they’re going to lip-sync, shouldn't they at least try to do it well?"
"I can’t focus on the performance because of the obvious lip-syncing."
"Sad it wasn’t live, but I’m hoping for something better next time."
"Lol, there’s a saying that if they can’t lip-sync, it means they’re great at singing live."
"The amount of attention they’re getting, even from a mid-sized company, means they’ll become huge."
"Anna’s visuals are out of this world."
"BABYMONSTER is more my style."
"I love Sooin..."
"Not really a fan of the song."
"I don’t think this song was the best choice."
"I can’t believe how good they all look... love the outfits too."
