Fans less than impressed by K-pop girl group BLACKPINK’s US TV dance ‘missteps’
- Online critics slam ‘lame’ performances, including out-of-sync choreography in performances to promote April’s US tour
The four-member band, which will start its US tour in Los Angeles in April, made its television debut last week by appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, Good Morning America and Strahan and Sara.
[BLACKPINK’S] stage presence was off. I could only hear bits and pieces of their vocals. Their dance wasn't in sync either
All of the members, Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa and Rosé, talked to the television shows’ hosts in fluent English and also performed their hit songs including Ddu Du Ddu Du and Forever Young.
However debate has arisen over apparent inconsistency in the choreography when they performed Ddu Du Ddu Du on The Late Show … and Good Morning America shows.
As the group members failed to dance in unison, some viewers complained that the performances appeared “lame”.
Many of the group’s fans exchanged comments online, claiming the band’s performances were lacklustre, following the appearance on Good Morning America on February 12.
GIF clips of the stars’ gaffes and video links to the controversial performances were shared not only by South Koreans fans but also other YouTubers.
One YouTube user wrote: “I’m really sorry if I offended anyone but to be honest, it was really boring.
“I couldn't feel the energy at all. Their stage presence was off. I could only hear bits and pieces of their real vocals. Their dance wasn't in sync either.
