Netizens Are Divided Over BTS Jimin’s Live Singing During An Encore Stage
BTS‘s Jimin won first place with his solo song “Like Crazy” as soon as he performed on music shows. The instant win proves his global popularity and success as a singer. He took the crown on M!Countdown on March 30, 2023.
While he pulled off a flawless performance during the pre-recorded stage for “Like Crazy”…
…the encore stage proved much harder to impress with. As many know, encore stages are 100% live without any backing vocals to support the artist. Many idols have been criticized for poor performances or “avoiding singing” during encore stages.
Jimin’s encore stage went viral on Twitter with over a million views in just a few hours, attracting huge attention and much criticism.

It also drew comparisons to other idols as netizens began quoting the video with their stars’ videos. SHINee‘s Jonghyun pulled off impressive live singing while doing push-ups.

On the other hand, fans mention that problems with his in-ear could have affected his singing. Jimin has also consistently displayed solid performing skills and stage presence, making the encore an off-day.
They have been singing live for more than 10 years now and kpopies are trying to drag him over a trouble he had with his in-ear and was nervous

Others point out that an in-ear keeps you on the beat, not in tune.
Jimin miss the tempo, it’s clear, the beat isn’t corresponding to the lyrics he is singing, that’s why he sings not secure and try to line his voice to the beat, cause he lost the tempo.

Jimin has already proven himself countless times before this encore stage.
Jimin will always have both, trying hard to drag him cz his in-ear was not working yet he ate everybody up on the performance
And btw not caring abt numbers is a dmb excuse cz that’s exactly why ur favs are in the industry, too bad y’all don’t give a sht abt them https://t.co/DFe7qp8wH3 pic.twitter.com/IjdwhBQNP0
