Summary
Social media backlash hit aespa after clips from the group's recent Lollapalooza performance spread online, with viral posts calling the set "boring" and saying it looked like a rehearsal.
August 3 posts that first praised the appearance gave way to harsher scrutiny as more footage circulated, shifting the reaction from excitement to criticism over energy, charisma and stage presence.
Several widely shared comments also attacked the group's vocals and overall festival suitability, with some users comparing the response to criticism aespa faced after Coachella.
The flare-up shows how quickly festival performances can be rejudged once short clips go viral, turning an initially positive reception into broader online backlash.
