LE SSERAFIM's Yunjin faces lip-syncing allegations

LE SSERAFIM member Yunjin has faced allegations of lip-syncing following the group’s performance at the 2026 K-World Dream Awards on August 27. During the ceremony, the group received several honors, including the “Best Artist — Female” Daesang.

Social media users highlighted a high-definition clip where Yunjin appears to hold her microphone away from her mouth while the backing track continues at a consistent volume. This observation led to heated debates online, with some critics mocking the group’s live vocal abilities.

Conversely, fans have defended the performer, noting that many artists utilize backing tracks during award show presentations. Supporters argued that the visual of a microphone being moved does not definitively prove lip-syncing and cited various production and staging factors that influence live sound.
