Stray Kids' Felix Playfully Criticizes JYP's High Notes on 'SyncroU'

Stray Kids' Felix draws attention with his candid critique of JYP's high notes.

KBS 2TV's 'SyncroU' is a variety music show where top dream artists showcase their cover performances amidst AI-generated stages with a 99% sync rate. The 7th episode featured powerhouse vocalists like Insooni, Ailee, Gummy, Lee Young-hyun, and Sol, delivering an unprecedented number of 'real' performances, achieving a peak viewership rating of 3.1%.

The 9th episode airing today, the 11th, is a 'JYP Family' special, featuring JYP himself as a dream artist, along with those closely connected to him. Lee Junho will cover 'This Song,' Rain will perform 'Only You,' Park Mi-kyung will take on 'Nobody,' Sunmi will cover 'Bad Girl Good Girl,' and Jo Kwon will perform 'Behind You.' Special MCs include Park Joon-hyung, STAYC's Sieun, and Stray Kids' Felix.

JYP surprises everyone by performing Park Ji-yoon's 'Coming of Age Ceremony' in a female key. After hearing the performance, Stray Kids' Felix humorously critiques JYP, saying, "JYP PD's high notes are too clean," and adds, "It sounds like AI, not JYP," implying that the high notes were AI-generated rather than JYP's own. JYP responds confidently, suggesting a private conversation, sparking interest in their potential showdown.

Park Joon-hyung also joins in the playful critique of JYP. He humorously comments on JYP's all-around talent in songwriting, composing, and choreography, saying, "He's the best, as long as you don't work with him. Best friend," drawing laughter with his candid remark. Felix agrees, further fueling the playful banter. The honest deductions and playful critiques promise to make 'SyncroU' a laughter-filled broadcast.

'SyncroU' episode 8 airs today, the 11th, at 8:30 PM.
