[AKP]Hyorin criticized by the other contestants for lip syncing on 'Unpretty Rapstar'

[HugeBoi Minos Wife]

 

Hyorin has been receiving much attention on 'Unpretty Rapstar 2'...but not the good kind from her fellow rappers. In fact, the singer is under much scrutiny due to her lip syncing during the show. 

 

On the first episode of the program, the contestants were given the mission of doing a cypher and then filming a one-take video, much like the first season. The two idol rappers, Yubin and Hyorin, were eyed critically by the other rappers with underground experience, but the two were able to prove themselves through their strong freestyle. 

 

However, the opinion towards Hyorin became unfavorable when the rappers participated in the one-take video mission. Perhaps due to her nerves, Hyorin kept messing up her lyrics, and to add to that her throat condition was not good. So after much consideration, she opted to lip sync during the filming of her portion of the one-take video. 

 

The other rappers couldn't hide their disappointment towards her. Ash-B said, "It's regrettable that a rapper doesn't rap." In the end, Hyorin placed very last for this mission, which opts her out of taking part in the next mission. 

 

Hyorin, seeing herself in the final one-take video, said, "I didn't know I was so pathetic. It's obvious that I was trying so hard not to burden others when I forgot my lyrics." 

 

After the mission was over, the contestants voted to select who did the best and worst for this round. Truedy took first place while Hyorin placed last. Hyorin confessed, "I was expecting it but it's still disappointing that I placed last. I will prepare even harder while I rest." 

 

And among the rappers, Yubin was the only contestant who stuck up for Hyorin initially, not picking Hyorin as the worst among the bunch, saying that she understands the importance of not straining one's vocals as a veteran idol herself. 

 

However, Yubin's opinion later changed after the voting was over and they were talking about the matter as a group. Hyorin explained, "I lip-synced because I didn't want to inconvenience those filming after me." Hearing this, Yubin couldn't help but be upset as she had stuck up for Hyorin thinking that Hyorin had only decided to lip-sync because she had no choice due to her throat condition, not because she decided she didn't want to take up a long time to film her segment.

 

Yubin expressed her disappointment, saying, "In a state where everyone is tired, we all have to do our very best, but if it's the case that she simply didn't actually rap just to get the filming over faster, then I wouldn't have picked Heize [to be the worst]. Doesn't it mean that [Hyorin] just didn't try her best?" 

 

What do you think about the situation?

I'm not sure how this is a bad thing and I don't even know why the rest didn't lipsync. This is how you film a music video.

[Keijiro]

i love the drama in this

[rosinate]

I hope someone subs this, I could use the drama in my life.

 

[HugeBoi Minos Wife]

You go on a RAP SHOW, we expect you, like others,  to RAP LIVE... saying she didn´t want to be an inconvenience to others sound like EXCUSES to me... you prepared for a looong time... why would you suddenly lipsynch?

[ZeroDaGod]

This was a cypher not a normal video.  In a cypher you're supposed to all rap (live) in one take and that's what's filmed.  Hyorin kept messing up and crumbled under that pressure so she recorded over her lines instead of rapping like everyone else.  She wasn't the only one to mess up, but she was the only one to quit and take the easy route by recording over it.  In the video, you'll notice that her lips don't match up the rap she's saying.  They pretty much pieced together the parts where she messed up and placed her recorded vocal over it.

But wouldn't a perfectionist try until she got it right?

[bluesclues]

Girl, worry about yourself first. This is a competition not a playdate.

I was wondering why Yubin picked Haze to be the worst when I would have went with Hyorin. I guess this explains it better, she honestly thought something was wrong with Hyo and felt angry when she was wrong. 

 

Damnit Yub, stop being sweet.

If you rap in a cypher that just means you're freestyling lol it has nothing to do with having a video done in one take or whatever. If the goal is to get the video in one take, then it's even more stupid that they had to rap live.

[Me Gustas Tu]

Hyorin's weave is about to be snatched soon. #byefelicia 

[YGMatt]

This drama... sounds HOT. Need the subbed version so bad !

[CECIâ„¢]

Hyorin doesnt need to do this. She is a talented singer, so why is she is on this show pretending to be a rapper??? I just dont get it   

 

send Bora there!! that  would make more sense because after all she is the main rapper of the group

it's more about the fact that she did a really bad job at lipsyncing. her mouth didn't match her recorded part of the track at all and she looked really awkward.

But that's not what they're criticizing her for, they're bashing her because she lipsynced not because she did a bad job doing.

[Grey beans]

Where can I see the video ?

It does for this show or have you not seen it before?  

 

The entire cypher is supposed to be done in one take.  If one person messes up they have to start over which is why messing up pisses some of the others off.
