HStan-worthy? Lately, a few K-pop groups were criticized for their apparent "poor" live singing skills. Meanwhile, Korean media praised NMIXX and BABYMONSTER as girl groups WITHOUT controversies related to their vocals.

NMIXX Hailed As 'Most Talented 4th-Gen Girl Group'

A few girl groups were recently harshly carped at by K-pop fans for having "poor" and "unstable" live singing skills.

This prompted news outlet TV Report to push NMIXX and BABYMONSTER to the spotlight, and declare them as some of the current-generation acts who reign in terms of live vocals.

According to the article, there is no doubt that NMIXX is on top if the topic is talent.

In fact, media outlets even dubbed them as the "most talented girl group" of the 4th-generation, and noted that each member is an "all-rounder." They are often lauded for their vocals that even the group's rappers can sing, too.
