Newly installed "Inkigayo" host Lee Yu Bi was caught under fire on her first day on the job for lip-syncing the hit "Frozen" OST, "Let It Go".
During her performance many viewers noted that there were instances when her lips did not match the lyrics, suggesting that the celeb may have lip-synced her way throughout the performance.
Lee Yu Bi's agency, Sidus HQ, released a statement pertaining the matter, saying, "Since [Lee Yu Bi] does not sing professionally, we prepared something in case she makes mistakes." The rep continued, "The stage used an AR sound system. We believe the viewers confused Yu Bi's voice with the AR which made it seem as though she was lip-syncing."
AR is commonly used in music shows to ensure that the singing continues despite problems with real vocals, for whatever reason it may be.
In the meantime, TVXQ, Rainbow BLAXX, B1A4, KOYOTE, Girl's Day, Dal Shabet, House Rules, SPICA, Kim So Jun,g DICKPUNKS, GOT7, Honey Finger Six, AOA, Royal Pirates, TOP DOGG, AIRPLANE, and Yang Ji Won also performed on the show.
