Recently, a netizen compared the live singing of the ALLDAY PROJECT members on the popular forum Pann. The controversial post garnered over 85,000 views.
The post discussed the live singing skills of the members, raising questions among many Korean netizens about whether Black Label truly possesses strong vocalists.
The original post raised doubts about the quality of the vocals of all the members, especially when compared to the media hype surrounding the group and its members’ skills.
The post that sparked the controversy described the members’ performances as unconvincing, noting that Tarzan, in particular, sounds like he’s reading from a script while singing in Korean, which lacks a natural vocal feel. Youngsoo, while praised for her beautiful tone, was felt by some to lack the power expected of a lead singer.
Belli also faced criticism, with some considering her good at English but not a prominent rapper, while Annie’s abilities were described as “uncertain,” citing the lack of a vocal signature.
Only Woochan received praise. He has gained widespread acclaim as a standout singer, possessing a clear vocal charisma and real experience as a singer, especially given his previous fame as a Korean hip-hop artist.
The post, which sparked discussions about the ALLDAY PROJECT members’ live singing, read: “Am I the only one who thinks the ALLDAY PROJECT members aren’t good at singing?
I feel like I might get hate for saying this, but Tarzan’s voice, in particular, sounds like he’s reading from a Korean book when he sings in Korean. Youngseo’s voice is beautiful, but she sounds too weak to be considered the group’s ‘main vocalist.’ Billie, on the other hand, is only good at English. I don’t really know if she’s good at rapping. Annie, I’m still not sure which one. But Joo Woo Chan is on another level.”
This post received widespread reaction from netizens. Some argued that the group has never demonstrated strong vocal skills beyond rap. Others acknowledged the members’ ability to maintain a rhythm, but questioned whether that alone makes them good singers.
- “Apart from Jo Wu Chan, I really don’t know.”
- “They choose good songs that hide their true skills, haha. But at least they perform live… I think that’s more important than lip-syncing while claiming to be a vocal master ㅋㅋ.”
- “I don’t know anyone other than Jo Woo Cha.”
- “Have they ever shown anything that could be called vocals…? Aside from rap, they seem to have reached a level where anyone without a melody impediment can sing along.”
- “Still, they’re still better than your ILLIT.”
- “I think the same thing. Wu Chan is good, of course, but the other members perform well enough.”
