BTS Jimin’s Live Vocals Gain Attention Amid Lip Syncing Allegations After Rehearsal

BTS’s Jimin Faces Lip-Sync Accusations Amid Tokyo Dome Concert

BTS’ Jimin is facing backlash after a viral clip accused him of lip-syncing during rehearsals. The controversy began when a video circulated online showing Jimin allegedly lip-syncing even before the tour’s official start.

The group recently started their ARIRANG world tour with three shows in Goyang. Now, on April 17, BTS performed the first of two Tokyo Dome dates, which was live streamed globally. Fans were treated to surprises, including a rare Japanese track from nearly ten years ago.

Soon after, clips of Jimin singing live at the Tokyo show gained attention. One video clearly captured Jimin’s vocals standing out over the backing track, sparking a wave of fan reactions praising his live singing.

Fans quickly reacted online:

“jimins live vocals especially in this song are so beautiful. literally healing a part of me” — leo

Some even pointed out that Jimin was the only member to sing his parts fully live:

As the situation unfolded, Jimin’s live performance clips continued to circulate, countering earlier lip-sync claims. BTS will hold their second Tokyo Dome concert before heading to North America for the next leg of their tour.
