A guy who doesn’t know how to do a vibrato so he uses his jaw to do it gets cast as the male lead? LOL. His projection sucks, his breathing techniques suck… Can’t believe he gets paid for such a performance.

Others called it downright embarrassing. A review after seeing New’s curtain call.

Some even went so far as to call it tragic.

그참하네…

It’s tragic… Feels like an elementary school kid trying to sing it raw between musical actors. I really respect those fans who praise him and get emotional about it. Does he even know the proper vocal technique? There is no resonance at all. He needs to go back to vocal lessons…

The situation has once again sparked debate about idols entering musical theater and the intense scrutiny they face when they step outside their usual stage.
