A2O LITE just turned their first encore stage into a statement. After winning their debut trophy on THE SHOW on October 20, the rookies delivered a clean, confident live encore for “NEON” — and the viral clips have fans saying the group just demolished the “AI voice” allegations in one performance.

The encore that went viral
The Lee Soo Man-produced group had previously revealed they would use AI assistance on the members’ voices, which immediately drew skepticism from netizens. But their first encore told a different story: strong, stable live vocals — reportedly without in-ears — while performing choreography. The clips spread fast, with fans praising the members’ live harmonies and stage confidence.
The reaction was fierce. Fans pointed out how difficult live harmonies are while dancing, and several viral posts compared A2O LITE favorably against other groups recently embroiled in live-vocal controversies, arguing the rookies “ate the CD” with their delivery.
Backing it up the next day
It wasn’t a one-off. The group followed up with a live radio performance the next day that once again drew praise, with fans noting they survived both the encore stage and the radio stage — and some even suggested other agencies should be “embarrassed.” Just weeks into their debut, A2O LITE has already collected multiple music show wins for NEON, and the conversation around them is only getting louder.
