IVE's Liz is drawing major attention after posting a series of messages on the fan communication platform Bubble.
Recently, her Bubble messages circulated across online communities, sparking a wave of reactions. In them, Liz called out how some people judge and criticize a singer based on a single clip, stressing, "If you're human, making mistakes is natural."
The controversy appears to stem from a recent fan-concert stage. During IVE's cover of Girls' Generation's 'Tell Me Your Wish (Genie),' Liz had a minor voice crack while singing live, which led to some criticism afterward.
Addressing it on Bubble, Liz wrote, "How was 'Tell Me Your Wish'? I don't think it was bad," adding, "Of course there were parts I was disappointed about, but anyone can make mistakes." She continued, "It's not right to judge all the effort and skill I've built on a single video," and concluded confidently, "I'll just do better from now on."
Liz also emphasized, "Whether the result is good or bad, the most important thing is giving it your all. If you do your best, that's more than enough. I did my best, too."
Most fans agreed, saying things like, "Making a mistake while singing live is way better than lip-syncing" and "She's already acknowledged as a skilled vocalist, so a tiny slip shouldn't define her." However, some expressed surprise that such blunt messages were sent on Bubble, a paid platform for fan communication. Others maintained a critical stance, arguing, "If you're a singer, delivering a high-quality stage is the baseline."
