People pointed out the idol holds several instances during the DEADLINE World Tour where the idol forgot parts of the choreography, danced to the songs unenergetically, and walked around instead of enthusiastically performing the tracks. Netizens were not happy with how the idol is allegedly being disrespectful and ungrateful towards the audience that gathered for the DEADLINE concerts.

Here are a few fan reactions regarding the same:

"ok but on a serious note.. how did she even debut? It’s honestly embarrassing to call yourself an idol when you can’t deliver a single ounce of energy on stage. like, stage presence is the bare minimum if you can’t handle that, what are you doing here?" said a fan
