HYBE‘s new global girl group SAINT SATINE — formerly known as PRELUDE — has officially completed their lineup and made their live debut, and the reactions online have been anything but quiet.
The four-member group, made up of Emily, Lexie, Samara, and newly selected Sakura, performed ‘PARTY b4 the PARTY’ live for the first time.
The song is also now available on streaming platforms. The members sang fully live and even performed detailed choreography.
The wait is almost over. ‘PARTY b4 the PARTY’ and ‘WE RIDE’ will be available tomorrow on all streaming platforms!!

However, fans online have harshly criticized SAINT SATINE’s performance and seem to feel it was rough.
Many zeroed in on Emily’s vocals first. Others claimed that Samara was the only one up to par, while Lexie did not meet expectations. Some even criticized Sakura, the newest member of the girl group.
Ehhhh, this was sloppy

Emily needs to tone down the hardcore dancing fr and focus on her weak vocals . She literally can’t sing. Lexi isn’t much better. Samara is going to be carrying this group

Emily can’t sing
Not sure how Lexie became invisible
Sakura should win
Samara looks goodThey aren’t great live perfomers (yet)

All that being said, this was their first performance ever as a complete group. Whether SAINT SATINE can turn the reaction around when their official debut comes is the real question.
