KATSEYE Yoonchae’s Professionalism Praised Amid Mic Pack Mishap During Korean Debut

KATSEYE, formed through the HYBE x GEFFEN survival show The Debut: Dream Academy, has officially made their succesful Korean music show debut on Mnet‘s M!Countdown, marking their first event in South Korean promotions.

KATSEYE performed their hit songs “Debut” and “Touch,” stunning the crowd with not just their dance skills but impressive live vocals. They proved they belong on that stage!

Yet, the group’s youngest member especially proved to be most impressive, with her remarkable professionalism.

KATSEYE’s Korean member, Yoonchae, the youngest at just sixteen, is going viral across social media after clips from the “Debut” performance circulated. Eagle-eyed netizens noticed that Yoonchae held something in her hands during most of the performance.

It was none other than her mic pack, which had apparently flown off during the performance. Mic packs are usually securely attached to the artist’s back.

Yoonchae is truly a professional bc her micpack fell out at the start of their ‘Debut’ performance but you don’t even notice because from start to finish she powers through but you can see her HOLDING it the whole time with no worries #KATSEYE #KATSEYE_Yoonchae pic.twitter.com/6MSLUPc1C2

One video garnered 189.3K views on TikTok at the time of writing, as netizens marveled over Yoonchae.

#KATSEYE : And before y’all hate, it’s not her fault the mic pack fell off, I’m just praising her cause she’s so professional while still being a rookie💗 || #katseye #manon #sophia #daniela #lara #megan #yoonchae #kpopfyp #slay #viral #yuqisbetterthanyou2

Netizens admired Yoonchae for remaining professional throughout the inconvenience. Considering it was her Korean music show debut, and she’s so young, many netizens were in awe of how she responded to the situation. She didn’t react as if anything had gone wrong; she held onto the mic pack and continued to give it 100% in her performance. As a result, many hadn’t even noticed anything went wrong until others pointed it out.

While fans loved the girls’ styling, they noticed the mic packs were not adequately secured. Daniela‘s mic pack also flew off at the end.

yo whoever put in those micpacks for them needa be fired because ain’t no way … but Dani STILL carried tho #KATSEYE #KATSEYE_Daniela pic.twitter.com/SsiChhtvks

Hopefully, these issues will be resolved before KATSEYE’s next schedule.
