LE SSERAFIM Kazuha’s Stage Performance Divides The Internet

LE SSERAFIM’s Kazuha has sparked heated reactions online with her performance at the 2025 KBS Gayo Daechukje.

The event, which took place on December 19, KST, saw the top faces of K-Pop come together to celebrate the industry and its artists through various special stages. Kazuha delivered a solo stage performance, covering BTS member Jungkook’s “Standing Next To You.” The idol not only executed the choreography to the tee, but also treated fans to a vocal cover of the song as well.

As eye-catching as Kazuha’s execution was, her performance has stirred up some really divided reactions online. People who loved it thoroughly praised her for her visuals, dance skills, and overall stage presence that did justice to a demanding song like “Standing Next To You.”

• “Performing that song of Jungkook’s is very difficult, but she did it well.”
• “She did it well!”
• “Wow, she’s good at it.”
• “F*cking handsome Kazuha.”

Critics, however, were left asking why she carried a mic during the performance when she clearly wasn’t singing live.

Many came to Kazuha’s defence, pointing out that the mic was a prop included in the original choreography.

The performance has continued to trigger opposing opinions from netizens, ultimately contributing to its virality.
