honestly with the way kpop is i don’t mind lip syncing during promotion but ONLY for the first few performances. for the first few performances you want to see the choreo and get the overall feel, especially with 4th gen but after that we should get proper vocals. they’re idols, it’s literally their job to sing. it’s like company’s actively work against letting their idols sings and it’s worse when you can see that the idol is really trying to be heard over the backtrack. it especially bugs me when it comes to SM cause like ??? you’re known for vocals, let your artists sing. it’s like they’re trying their absolute hardest to hide aespas vocals for literally no damn reason. and red velvet!?! i’m so mad

[@shanliekpop]

It used to be like that a few years ago. The first week was always lip sync for the special stages to show off the dance and outfits, Then the next 1-2 weeks were strictly live. After the pandemic company's completely switched over so pre-recorded performances since there was no longer an audience. Fans don't even notice so I don't see them going back anytime soon. Less than a handful of idols are putting out live stages on Inkigayo, Music bank, the show etc.

[@resurgingflame]

Making them do it just the first few performances is not ideal AT ALL. It'd be just a few times once in a while, esp during heavy schedules. Also I don't get this kind of mindset. Their job is to sing yes. But their another job is also to dance, rap & doing the best performance they can do. They can still sing when doing non-choreo performance, does that not count? Lipsyncing doing heavy choreo should be excused. Bcus our lungs aren't build to do 2 highly demanding tasks at the same time anyway. On top of that doing it repeatedly all year along. SM artists lipsyncing doesn't disprove them being good with vocals. PROPER & HEALTHY technique can ONLY be achieved while the singer is relaxed with proper posture. U can't do that while dancing. So this really doesn't prove anything. This video should open y'all eyes that lipsync is more common that u might think. There's a REASON why it existed in the first place & it's not bcus of laziness & lack of creativity at all. Instead of trying to understand them, u guys put them in even higher pressure like??

@@resurgingflame The purpose of this vid ist not to criticise idols but to show the differences between eddited vocals and live singing since fans nowadays are so used to autotune that they refuse to believe its not live.

If people listened to everything Chan said, not just short clips or sentences, you'll know he wasn't hating on the video. He agreed with a lot of it, clarified and contextualised a lot of things. He disagreed with calling some of those lip sync, but he also knew why it could be considered that if their live vocals are not very audible under the pre rec track. No need to get up in the arms. It's because ppl are so sensitive about these things that more idols can't be open about it. We're so lucky to have Chan spill these backstage side things, it's a shame ppl don't actually hear what he's saying and take things out of context. The only thing is, as a Stay that watches pretty much all of their stages, the pre recorded ones or the ones where the backing track completely overpowers all of them are very few, you almost have to hand pick them. That much I can confidently say. There's a ton more Thunderous stages, their first one on the Kingdom week show thing is my least fav for obvious reasons Also congrats to the creator being featured on Chan's room.

People need to realize that sometimes even the artist doesn’t sing live on stage, it doesn’t mean they are bad and everything, due to lot of circumstances like intense choreography or the shooting with different camera cut, they need to prerecord, and auto tune isn’t even just about correcting it adds effect on the vocals actually. ANYWAY IT’S ALWAYS GOOD TO EDUCATE YOURSELF 👍🏻😉

[@georgia9260]

Often their promotion periods are so intense it would be hard to sing live constantly anyway! IVE have been heavily promoting one song for 2 solid months, they’d never get through that without lipsyncing at least a little bit (or a lot a bit).

[@SD-eo8bx]

There's nothing wrong with playback when you're dancing. The bad thing is to abuse and play back in each presentation.

[@Ttttoeeen]

And people also need to realize that the kpop industries also rely most on visuals and presentations (choreo, stage presence, etc), so there's plenty of 'vocalists' position that are lacking in, well... vocals, to begin with. (Except the main vocal position, 80% of 'em are such good singers istg-) It's funny how some fans want them to be perfect and sing live every single time yet when they do, the recognition is not always there... 😞

[@hq3727]

I love watching MAMAMOO's performances because of that. They love to play with the backtrack, sometimes not bothering to sing the actual lines, but use that time to interact with audiences or play with ad-libs instead, because they know we know they always sing LIVE (whenever possible). :)

[@natashabelus4072]

they aren't bad in everything, but for me is hard to see that kpop turned just a Dance and beauty thing. Just vocal, beautiful vocals with simple coreos are not longer enought, so if they don't dance so well, but have good voices they are shut down, and kicked out the industry, 'cause they can "fake" singing things but not other skills.. but they're music groups, so I'm really upset.

To me voice modifications and lip'sync aren't a problem for a group until they 1.Never sing live bcs of it 2. Don't use it sparingly for when an idol is sick (check hwasa part of the vid) or when technical issues happen. 3. Add an unnecessary backing track while editing. 4. Royaly fork up the voice modifications. Basically, voice editing and lip'syncing only become a problem when they're used as a way to "cheat" instead of being used as a last record tool.

[@minhoneyskz3812]

I always wanted to say this: Stray Kids tries in almost every performance to sing at least over half of the lines live, but then there's the extremely loud backtrack over it, making me sooooo freaking angry at the music show that features their performance. They WANT to sing live, but why is it, that you can't just let their voices be without the heavy backtrack? Another thing I wanted to point out is that in the collaboration performances (recent one: 'Tiger' cover with Lee Know, Jungwoo, Moonbin etc.) the high notes that we can hear are *prerecorded*! I'm always getting so angry when there's some delusional fans praising their stable live singing, when it - frankly speaking - is lip-sinc. That can be because they are forced to lip-sinc or to have a heavy autotune or backtrack over their voices, but also just because they dance too hard and it would be too difficult to maintain a decent live while performing. All I said is not in the slightest bit because of hate, it's just stating facts. We all know that idols are capable of singing live or else they wouldn't have been able to debut, but what lots of fans want is PERFECTION. And sorry not sorry, this kind of *perfection* doesn't exist and leads to more and more performance without hearing our idols precious voices (and their human-like breathing, which I have NOTHING against lol)

[@سلم-ظ8ي]

Don't forget that lee know had 4 performance at that day at the same event and he collapsed after performing tiger inside so I think it's reasonable that he wasn't singing live bcs in the end idols are also human + from what I see, stays are praising lee know for taking the high notes part (even if it's recorded) since his position in the group is main dancer, not vocalist

[@minhoneyskz3812]

@@سلم-ظ8ي yeah...I saw how he collapsed and my heart simply broke for him. He did a great job and I never said anything against that (I would never offend my ultimate bias), it's just that I saw lots of people in the comments talking about their 'stable live' and I really can't count how much I rolled my eyes at this. Why can't they just accept that they did well and instead of praising their singing that wasn't live, just praise everything they actually did. It feels as if they're focusing on the wrong thing instead of focusing on the thing they actually did (and quite well at that) like stage presence, dance and co. They should just accept the facts, since lip-sinc is NOT something bad at all... especially since the tiger choreography was very intense.

[@eem8736]

So true! More reason why I against if Idol only depend on lipsync. It's okay if doing it sometimes, but if it is done everytime, I'm afraid that it could impact into the artist confidence. And the fans will always ask for perfection from their artist, while just like what you said, perfection is never existed. And what happen now, when the artist voice cracked, netizen will mocked on them. While the Idol not always on good condition, and every member have their own role, not everyone there is lead vocal. More reason for them need more experience to sing on stage, because it is something that will get better by more experience. Forbid them to singing live only forbid them to improve.

Wow that intro was the clearest explanation of all the trickery in Kpop music. Gosh I don't even hate autotune, I think it sounds really cool. But for the love of god can they stop calling it LIVE when it's not?!?! People say autotune can't fix a bad voice but it really can. It can completely change's your voice into something else. It can turned a strained high note into an angelic falsetto When I listen to BTS music these days I barely recognize their vocals they're autotuned is so strangely by bighit.

Dreamcatcher always make sure to give us live stages which I'm very happy about. I don't mind backtracks on live dancing stages as long as we can hear their voices over it!

Except for the very last two girls, Sua (the first girl) and Handong (the second girl) and Jiu (the third girl) are all sub vocalist!! Also their lead vocalist Yoohyeon could be a main vocalist easily. Tbh I don't understand why they didn't just do two main vocalist like Seventeen has because that would make more sense..

So true please. Jeongyeon is the second most stable member of TWICE. She has a beautiful voice with a good support. But the thing is that JYPE dosen't let her show her talent and that upset me so much. Even before her break, she was never first on a tt or anything. I mean yeah, she shine in b-sides but title tracks, nothing. The amount of hate that she get for her body istg this show the true sides of k-pop fans, y'all are fucking hypocrite. And i hate those videos where they show the before after of an idol if they gain weight or lose, like stfu??? Let them breathe. And for Lia,her voice is so unique. She has an amazing voice and it feel like she give those fresh breathes in their songs.

Not sure how many people saw it but dingo actually uploaded the raw totally live version of mamamoo's medley originally (most likely an error on their part) before changing it to the autotuned version.

I agree with most but with aespa i do believe that it’s pre recorded rather than the official track. there are minor differences in how they approach the ‘im a savage’ Karina’s is more squeaked out and the savage is pronounced differently. But i do think they only have one pre recorded and that’s the only one they use. Same with Ningning’s note, the pre recorded version is sung way lighter whereas in the official track the approach is heavier

[@FlagGov]

This is still pretty simplified. You can have any combination of these and adjust how much effect you want applied. For example, louder live vocals over a backing track with slight reverb. Technology today allows for more options for live effects than pitch correction and reverb. If it's done well, it enhances the performance, for example, smoothing vocal shakiness caused by intense choreo while still allowing the artists' vocals to be prominent. When done terribly, a live performance can appear lip-synced. Unfortunately, guests of music shows often don't have control over how things are mixed.

[@inquisitvem6723]

What about the live vocals here? seems like little adjustment..they let them sing live for most part…3 of the girls sang completely live while dancing too. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m4CoonSYiJZ4rs0

EDIT: lol you guys need to calm down do I need to post Chans reaction live on here? Half of you didn't even watch his video XD He was super sweet and amazing (I can't believe he saw this). He literally agreed with almost everything except my overly simplified term of autotuned because there are a million different things you can do with that software. *He literally said at **10:10** in his Vlive "Yep thats pre-recorded" and the rest are live or live with backtrack.* I made sure to list all the groups and songs this time so you guy's know what music/ albums to looks for ;) many of these are some of my favorite songs. I always get so many comments from people saying "X" doesn't lips sing or "X" doesn't know autotune and then use that as an excuse to hate other groups. These people completely missed the point. We're talking about Kpop as a whole, none of our faves are special snowflakes. Idols are all made on the same conveyer belt. These videos aren't about individual groups, they're about the industry pushing standards to an inhumane level that no real artists can achieve. The problem is when the audience begins to think a fake voice is a real voice.

I'm happy to finally watch Dreamcatcher on this kind of video. As a somnia, I know that many of us are always this proud of how good they sing whenever they perform, but it somehow makes me sad if my co-somnia said that this/that performance is live, where it is not totally like that. They maybe recorded it while dancing simply, then the record got processed or something to put into another round of performance while they still sing live(but sadly, it wouldn't be much of what we hear, or nothing at all). I'm not an audio engineer or something, but I can hear clearly the differences of sounds and I'm not delulu. But I would like to say, Dreamcatcher's talent and hardwork is what makes them more deserve for recognition when it comes to performances. I just can't wait for every waiting old and new fans to meet them on in person concert.

[@_PhungLeHoangNgoc]

I'm late. But Insomnia should understand they need backtrack to support consider how hardcore their choreo are. No one could ever sing so perfectly with those kind of exhausting choreos. However, they always try to deliver their best. Many times I can clearly hear their vocals above the loud backtracks. And I think they also sing live when they don't have to perform. Dreamcatcher never disappoints.
