LE SSERAFIM’s “Bad Mood” Reaction Behind ALLDAY PROJECT Goes Viral 

The unexpected moment has gone viral.

LE SSERAFIM is currently promoting their Japanese single “DIFFERENT” on Korean music shows. While the group continues their promotional schedule, a recent appearance on SBS’s Inkigayo has stirred unexpected attention due to the girl group’s reaction during the encore.

The Source Music girl group performed their song at Inkigayo last week on July 6, much to the delight of their fans!

However, days after the show, a viral post online pointed out that LE SSERAFIM appeared to be in a visibly “bad mood” while standing behind rookie co-ed group ALLDAY PROJECT during the encore stage. The post quickly gained traction and sparked heated reactions in the comments.

Many netizens questioned why LE SSERAFIM was promoting in Korea despite this being a Japanese comeback, while others criticized the original poster for attempting to scrutinise the girl’s facial expressions in such a short clip taken out of context. Many came to the group’s defense, saying it was unfair to make such assumptions.

• “LE SSERAFIM came back with a Japanese song, so why are they promoting in Korea? There’s barely any reaction.”
• “Is there a life more pathetic than trying to read expressions like this?”
• “ALLDAY PROJECT is so good ㅠ”
• “This is better than someone who lost a lawsuit and can’t even promote or appear on music shows, just slumped in the VIP seats lol”
• “Looks like the OP made eye contact with them.”

This viral incident has once again highlighted the scrutiny K-Pop idols face during live broadcasts such as music show encores, and how even the slighted change in reaction can spark speculation and controversy. As the clip continues to circulate, fans and non-fans alike are weighing in on whether the group’s reaction was misunderstood or deserving of the attention it’s getting.
