Amidst the aftermath of their performance at the renowned ‘Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival,’ girl group Le Sserafim finds themselves in a whirlwind of controversy over their live skills. Their appearance on the Coachella stage, which took place on the 13th of April, has ignited a firestorm of criticism regarding their live singing abilities, with many expressing disappointment at their performance falling short of expectations.
Despite Le Sserafim’s achievement of entering Coachella in less than two years since their debut, they faced backlash from domestic fans for their perceived lackluster live performance skills on certain stages. The group presented a live singing performance consisting of approximately 10 songs over a 40-minute duration, but their skills were deemed substandard by critics and fans alike.

In the midst of the backlash, member Sakura took to the fan community Weverse to address the criticism, expressing defiance against public opinion. Her statement, asserting that their Coachella performance was the best they could offer despite imperfections, only added fuel to the fire, intensifying the controversy surrounding the group.
Meanwhile, another member, Kim Chae-won, sparked a separate controversy with a now-deleted post on her social media account. Sharing a video of Doja Cat’s performance, Kim Chae-won inadvertently drew attention to the singer’s use of a hand gesture commonly interpreted as a profanity. The reaction from netizens to this post was mixed, with some viewing it as an innocent observation while others interpreted it as a deliberate attempt to divert attention from Le Sserafim’s own controversy.
Despite the ongoing turmoil, Le Sserafim is scheduled to perform for the second time at Coachella on the 21st before returning to Korea on the 22nd to resume their album activities. As the group goes through these turbulent times, the spotlight remains firmly fixed on their upcoming performances and their ability to weather the storm of public scrutiny.
