BABYMONSTER Asa Makes Mistake During Radio Performance — Here's Why It's Earning Her Praise

Japanese BABYMONSTER member Asa made a mistake during a live radio performance, and yet the female idol is earning praise!

On July 17, 2024, BABYMONSTER appeared on SBS Radio to promote their latest comeback. During a performance of the song “FOREVER,” member Asa Enami was supposed to be one of the first to sing. However, she got so caught up in the music that she nearly forgot to sing her part, with the idol neglecting to sing the first few seconds.

However, Asa quickly recovered by singing loudly and clearly in sync with the rhythm.

Despite making a mistake during the show, Asa did not receive any backlash for her actions. Instead, netizens praised her powerful voice, which overpowered the music and proved that she was singing live. The idol earned love for her live singing ability, especially during a generation of K-pop where several idols have earned flak for lip-syncing.

Japanese members of K-pop groups have often been stereotyped as “poor singers” due to the sheer number of them who have been involved in controversy over their talents. Some examples include ILLIT’s Moka, LE SSERAFIM’s Sakura, and TWICE’s Momo.

However, BABYMONSTER stands out as an exception, consistently reassuring the audience of their live singing capabilities. The Japanese members, in particular, have earned applause for their talents. Despite acting as one of the group’s main rappers, Asa also effortlessly balances singing and dancing.
