• "Every time she raises her voice, her eyes also move. It looks funny."
• "Before, when she sang live, she sounded okay. Why does she sound weird?"
• "Before her debut, her voice was good. In 'Produce 48,' she was considered one of the top vocalists in the show. She even reached the high note in 'Into the New World.' But after her debut, her voice fell off. If the main vocal is like, what does that say about how HYBE trains their vocalists?"
