Ailee Loses Sound During Song at KCON New York, But Slays It A Cappella: Watch
An onstage technical difficulty turned into an opportunity for Ailee to showcase her incredible pipes at Day 1 of KCON 2016 New York Presented by Toyota.
While performing her opening number for the packed Prudential Center, 2015 single "Mind Your Own Business," at the first night of concerts of the Newark, New Jersey K-pop convention and festival, the singer's backing music dropped out in the middle of the first chorus. Ever the professional, Ailee barely missed a beat and sang the rest of the chorus and hook a cappella, adding in a few licks and growls as she would with the full production to an extremely supportive audience's delight.
It's a remarkable moment in particular for K-pop acts who are typically very dependent on backing tracks and would likely not continue performing with such gusto after an issue like this. Watch another cut of the incident below at the 2:35 mark:
