[@hzzn]

Training doesn't actually mean they are constantly training their artists for years to debut. Many trainees are already very talented vocally because otherwise how would they even pass auditions? A few months to fine tune any skills they lack vocally would be enough, if at all. Artists in the west rarely are given "vocal lessons" after they've signed a deal with a label. The talent is already there. The people who need vocal lessons have been signed/selected for something other their vocals, which is how we're at the situation we are with Le Sserafim.

[@razzledazzle7997]

I think people are not giving YG enough credit on focusing vocal prowess. For being a hip-hop oriented company they factually pay a lot of attention to vocal unlike popular belief. They had debuted vocal divas such as Gummy and Lee Hi and Big Mama. For group wise, YG tend to focus on balance meaning each member as a specific role to play whether it vocal prowess or stylistic or rapper. In each group YG debuted, there is a vocal prowess (ex. Big Bang’s Daesung, 2NE1’s Park Bom, Winner’s Yoon, iKon’s June, Treasure’s Jeong Woo and stylistic vocalist such as Big Bang’s Taeyang, 2NE1’s Dara, Treasure’s Bang Ye Dam, Black Pink’s Rose). It’s just that their stylistic vocalists are more known and more specific to YG.

[@Hotcheetos777]

whaaaat when was dara considered a stylistic vocalist?? I'm korean and I remember Park Bom being the main vocalist + stylistic vocalist (bcuz of her powerful and unique voice). Park bom was such a sensation back in the day, she was literally the jennie before jennie happened lollll (not fashion wise but everyone went home early to watch her on '2ne1 Tv' after school). Everyone knew her solo songs You & I and Don't Cry. It's sad but Dara was always criticized for her lack of skills compared to the other members :/

[@razzledazzle7997]

@@Hotcheetos777 Dara wasn’t much a strong vocalist but she has unique tone (tone that is similar to bang ye dam, taeyang, Justin Bieber and and the likes) even though she doesn’t have much technique compared to the others. People does often uses her, taeyang, rose as example of YG stylistic vocal when compared to other company. Yes, Park Bom was sensational back then for her unique tone but I wouldn’t consider Park Bom just a stylistic vocalist as she had wide range. She can hit those high note with her bass voice and hold her note. Her voice was powerful like you said.

[@daisiesx96]

Yes. I always say this. Yg sets up their idols for long, successful careers. Even after their group is older and not as relevant anymore, which happens to every group at some point, they still have solo careers to lean on for the future. ALL of them. Not just one or two members from each group.

The big companies have money to promote them well unlike to small companies thats why people notice more about the big3 and hybe artists.

I think hybe have turned the kpop industry and their groups into a market product and the whole vision have turned into money, money and more money. it’s kinda unfair because at the end of the day they debut undeveloped idols and these idols have to face the hate and it’s not really their fault, it’s on the management only. They focus more on money than the artistry of their idols and here where the industry begins to lose its fun, because where is the identity? It’s also unfair to think that for example most of the members of babymonster had to train 4-6 years while illit trained for barely 6 months. That’s where hybe is ruining the industry, because at this point anyone who have a pretty face can become an idol and it’s unfair to the talented kids who work their ass off and singing is really their passion. But anyway, I think in the long run the idols that will survive are the talented ones because there’s only so much that a company can cover up.

This isn't a new phenomenon. Labels have often fallen into this. It's a money grab - find some attractive artists, give them some catchy songs, rake in the money. The problem is, what's the long-term for these artist/groups? People who are attracted to the "new" and "catchy", don't form lasting attachments to any particular artist/group, they just move on to "What's next!". For instance, I bet that a lot of these new Illit fans used to be just as hyped about New Jeans or Le SSerafim, but now... This is particularly unfair to the artists who are being used to line the pockets of studio execs. TikTok doesn't sell albums or pack stadiums or sell merch, and that's where the real money is. This is short-sighted greed.

YG focuses on building their artists individually. And I think I know you know what is that something going on in HYBE. 5:41 This is why no matter how people say YG title tracks are not good, YG stans know they will BANG on the live stage. All of YG music is made for the live stage with a live band. and the artists would be running around the stage, jumping, doing choreography, but still sounds good and even better than the studio version. It's a whole new experience and is a culture shock to those who are not used to it. And I mean, live concerts with live bands, not music shows "live" performances. In conclusion, Tiktok artists should just stay in Tiktok, and let live performances enjoyers enjoy live performers.

[@miskatulmumu2468]

So true. Like I won't pay for tickets when I know how are they gonna sing on stage. YG's strategy is straight forward. They don't give their artists hard choreography, do it simple but with simple choreography their stage presence is one of the best in whole kpop industry. YG can be a trash company for me for it's management but when it comes to produce idols, perfect idols they are best no argument here

[@KopiAusomeJourney]

I think YHS being an idol himself knows how important it is to do well on live stages. Studio tracks can be tweaked but live performances are real-time.

That's why the Big 3 are called "Big 3", the Big 4 don't exist, Hybe only gained popularity because BTS is there but in terms of quality that the other 3 companies have, Hybe has nothing. They can say what they want that SM takes a long time to debut their trainees but at least they are prepared and if a trainee has little training time, the company makes sure that they improve in that short period of time. SM artists have an artistic mentality, not influencers, Giselle was criticized a lot for her dancing and she silently practiced and practiced at it, now she receives praise for how much she has improved. NCT WISH just debuted and they were already praised because despite the nerves and just debuting, they have been doing a good job in singing, in addition to the fact that the main vocalist was a trainee for only 3 months, his first singing class was in SM and he was still chosen to debut, he is the main vocal and he is an incredible singer.

@@Mikasaxx0 Then my friend you are so dense. And the problem lies in your comment that" BTS has been criticised for not being able to sing live". Bro or whatever you call yourself, you should know by now the difference between constructive criticism and criticising someone out of malice, envy or to spite them. Now let me school you, first of all it is was totally out of context for the person who earlier wrote the original comment about generally all hybe artists including BTS not being able to sing or have no talent except the artists from pledis which is also under hybe. This is because the video under which she made that comment was only relating to the singing/ talent issues of the girl groups under hybe . so it was out of context for her to talk about or reference BTS in her comment. She should have limited her criticism to the girl groups. Secondly, you sound pathetic to even say that BTS have been criticised for not being able to sing live. In your brain the guys have been in business for 12 years now and you seriously believe that such criticism is constructive/ valid as if they haven't appeared on award shows or concerts. Thirdly even the so called artists from the defunct big three companies as they used to call them although now they have to accept that it is a fact that hybe is the biggest of them all, that at times the artists of Sm, Yg & Jyp also sound out of tune or flat in some of their live performances but it is fine as this also happens to other great singers like Whitney, Mariah & Adele. But such a moment or moments cannot infer that they can't sing live. The same happens to BTS guys. But then for someone especially online to criticise BTS guys that they can't sing live and to prove it they bring out that clip looks silly and malicious .

Honestly, I’m not sure if it’s worth such a long wait. Like 6 years of training for another 6 years of fame? Seems unfair to me. Either allow your idols to have longer careers or maybe don’t marinate them for so long. And the saddest thing is, that once they debut, they don’t release many songs at all, which I thing is really sad. I don’t say release a new song every few month, but maybe release a longer album every year or two? Like more similar to what western artists do, when they have a long track list of songs

7 years Baby Monster debuted after Blackpink, now I wonder how many years the new YGBG will debut after Treasure hahah Treasure is now going to their 4th year this year. I guess, the YGNBG will probably debut next year or in two years once Treasure reached their 6th year or 6th anniversary. Because when it comes to boys' idol groups, started from Big Bang, Winner debuted after Big Bang in 5 years, while iKON debuted 6 years after BB. Then came Treasure, 6 years after iKON.

Going back 10 years, when people talk about K-pop, one thing differentiate it from the other pop industry is the incredible long training period and intense trainee life where only the few exceptional survive to debut (triple threat). What changing now has been the huge amount of group get to debut and it has become much more easy to become an idol. The results less competent idol get introduced and now public will eventually have less and less respect towards "idol". And all these is kinda origin since bighit become hybe and the success of newjeans. Thats what i unhappy about. Unfair to those talented that went through immense hardship but got neglected. We wanna see talent and hardwork pays, not money pays.

Do not worry. This has happened in the past too. Now, it is raising its head again, taking advantage of the relaxation of restrictions. The first generation was such a mess. If entertainment agencies continue to act like this, Koreans will be the first to get angry. We are a people who are very critical. The reason why such difficult trainee days occurred in the past was because of the mess of the first generation, which resulted in huge criticism from people, and a measure was taken to force all broadcast appearances to be live unconditionally. The result was the golden age of the second and third generations. If the 4th generation continues to appear like this, we will take special measures again. Criticism against them is already boiling over in Korea.

And yes, he did focus on vocals ALOT even more than image or visuals, or even dancing.

Obviously the hate is unwarranted but I still think underneath it all is valid critcisms of the vocals coming from hybe groups. They know what songs will do well and can make hit songs and their groups are decent performers but what's the point if they can't do it live? Plenty of young idols have debuted in the past and done their first encores fine, because their companies wouldn't debut idols until they had a certain level of vocals. Every group naturally improves even after debut with confidence and experience so hopefully it'll happen with them but there also has to be some internal motivation or push from the company to improve.

So, it's not as widespread as y'all are making it out to be lol. Let's hope HYBE will take all this backlash and actually take the opportunities to fix things. I think Illit will improve, I'm not sure about lesserafim because of the member's personal attitudes. They seem to have settled.

[@LaJeoni]

In my opinion as a HYBE groups Stan, what needs to be done is the refinement process as Efra has said for what’s being criticised (which is mainly the live vocals aspect) and at the same time instead of adopting the 2 albums or mini albums a year strategy with tons of events, concerts, shows, etc.. taking instead the 1 mini album a year strategy is better because sure thing is that HYBE wants to keep its audience and new comers interested in all of this but if HYBE desires to create a number of musical acts that are running long in the market under its belt giving up something at this stage is the better option instead of confronting this kind of decision in a crises shape instead of what’s now still fairly controllable As a fan of HYBE groups I want to see them all running long in the market and from a business standpoint, profit surely is important to run the business but if in the upcoming 10 years as a business I lost my reputation in the market for producing musical acts that can serve what music was originally purposed for the audience to enjoy (which is obviously LIVE SINGING) then in the later 10 years I won’t stand a chance that is better than what I have within my hands right now

It doesnt matter. If an idol debut, that mean that the compagny deem that they were ready for the job. Which mean that they should be able to sing an encore without issues. For example, Blackpink had their first encore like 13 days after debuting. The girls were emotional and crying in that stage. And yet, they still were able to sing well their own song. And i am taking Blackpink as an example because i keep seeing online how some new kpops fans think that the girls are "untalented". So if an "untalented" group like Blackpink can do it, so can every rookie ever.

I think good vocals are gonna make a comeback since everything is a cycle. Hybe is the company to beat and other companies are noticing where they are lacking in and what people dislike about their groups in order to stand out: showcasing good vocals. You can see it clearly with JYP debuting NMIXX, SM finally showcasing aespa's singing voices live and YG focusing so much on the vocals of BM. Also, smaller groups like STAYC, Billlie and KOF stand out because of the freshness of hearing nice vocals live. Even groups like IVE, that started with the same trend as HYBE (focusing more on aesthetic, popularity and concepts) are now improving their live vocals (while producing songs accordingly for that) and people are loving it (I loooove HEYA). So I just think it'll continue that way until good vocals become the new standard once again. Hopefully, because i LOVE live vocals and i'm so happy more and more groups are focusing on that ;;.

I agree that to a certain extent of cos HYBE is being very successful monetarily with their factory line of girl groups but I strongly believe that somewhere down the line, when they start touring and showcasing that type of lack lustre vocal ability in live shows, it is going to be a big turn off. Also to add, Touring and show appearance is THE biggest revenue streams, they dont make that much profit from album sales. You will notice that all the artists that remain in the industry after a while are the ones who do have real talent in singing and dance. In my opinion this type of quick money grabbing short form viral marketing can only push you so far but doesnt carry an artist through a real career. If they dont improve on their training, it is going to haunt them in the long run. But maybe HYBE doesnt even care cos they can just keep pushing out new viral groups every month to replace ones that arent popular anymore after a while.

That’s what at least 3rd gen and prior generation stans got hooked up with KPOP.

They can change arrangement the music or/and the vocal in live singing.

TXT is different because Big Hit allow them to be creative, so they develop to be an artist, not just an idol. It saw at their improvement and their creativity (make songs and produce songs). In Le Sserafim, they made some lyrics of their songs. Yunjin made some solo songs. An hour ago, I saw Le sserafim perform at Chochella. I think they listen to my critics 🤣🤣🤣 They used backtrack vocal, not loud. They skip some part to exposed the backtrack vocal. They did not always dancing. They sometimes did not follow the choreo while singing. Vocally is OK because Yujin and Chaewon are very good singers and they are always responsible to sing the hard part of songs. Sakura and Kazuha louder enough, but they sing the easy part. Eunchae improved, but the first performance is really bad. So, Eunchae need more times to improve her technique.

This is the reason why K-pop will never have a Selena/ Shakira /beyonce /michael Jackson/ they focus on the visual and ear … but they don’t prepararé true singers/performers. I have been saying this for years

There's nothing wrong with it, it just doesn't exist. Hybe Factory is causing the devolution of kpop.

When it comes to music, I'm only here for the vocals and lyrics and then sound.

[@csoobear3399]

I don't know if you guys have seen deja vu on "it's live" yet but other than that if you wanna hear 100% raw vocals I suggest you check out the behind the scenes recording of their album on txt's channel!! it would also give you a glimpse of what the song meanings are 😊they are actually so brave to put such content since debut, so I never once doubted how real-sounding their good voices are

[@Shanana529]

Hybe is good at making these basic ass pop songs that could be English songs and it was refreshing cause K-pop was getting too much noise music types. But now it’s just the same basic songs that are repetitive enough to go viral and it’s cute but it’s not really K-popified anymore it’s just basic. And the more typical K-pop more experimental music is having a difficult time going viral but sheesh is doing well now. But Itzy, Nmixx, Aespa were not having an easy time with their louder music.

[@sheenaqueen1847]

How about if you get to concerts or music festivals and they still sing over a lipsync perf or they sing along to a very loud backing tracks? That's the time people crave for real vocals otherwise I might just have to lie on my bed and watch YT rather than go to these concerts if they will just serve me these pre-recorded vocals 😢

[@siisii8009]

I feel the same, if I like a studio version of a song and I listen to it live and the vocals and the performance is worse/bad, I feel like someone wanted to trick me 😅or to sell me a bad fake product or something, but I understand that some music is made only to be listened through earphone and not live, it's just not my thing

[@meh.3311]

For me, along the 5th gen, U&IS is a strong group. A multinational group with talent, charisma, extreme visuals and best dressed. And the girls we're really having fun like theyre living their dreams. Still hoping that they make it big domestic and internationally Edit: Did you know that Elisia from U&IS was scouted by Hybe but she turned it down?

[@bhriemuslad7213]

Try to review Baby monster live vocal on It's Live 😊

[@pearlmoon_]

Guys, can you please check out "Galti" by W.i.S.H!! They are the first Indipop Girlgroup (after 22 years), and their debut song "Lazeez", their vocals are top notch!!. Please do check them!

[@alanisa_g]

big 3 talents >>>

[@jorgealvaro6323]

🙏Since the K-Pop industry is mainly focused on the business, could someone tell me how much money each of the marketable areas of their girl groups generate for the agencies or which areas generate the most profits for them? like: How much do you earn from sales of your digital and physical albums? How much for plays of your music on audio platforms? How much for views of your music videos? How much for the sale of all the themed merchandise? How much for the image contracts of its members with high fashion, jewelry and sports brands? How much for the fan meetings? How much for consumer products commercials? And the most important for me, how much do they earn from the sale of tickets to their concerts on world tours? And, abusing your knowledge, what is the female group in the history of K-Pop that has left the most money for its agency (and the members) adding all the aforementioned aspects? Thanks in advance🤝

When Kiss Of Life and Babymonster can do it....why not others

[@impusputri7602]

Well, actually there's a statement from one of the senior singer at Hybe that Hybe didn't chose a trainee to debut because of the talented and amazing vocal, but they chosed the trainee who has the unique voice instead as the standard for the debut. So, I simply understand why I don't need to expect their girl group to have an amazing and stable vocal to debut as a "singer" ... (it's not for all member, some of them also have an amazing vocal in my opinion, but still that's the reason why their new girl groups mostly lack in vocal and struggle in live performance) But their artists' visual, dancing skill, and uniqueness, and how they show up through MVs, music performances, and even to CFs are real tho...

[@VeronicaSanchez-wj8us]

I agree that having music for networks is different from having music for live performances. Now hybe's situation is that at first its only strong commercial card and financially speaking it was BTS, and this group was forged with the time and effort of its members. When the company had the need to increase its income to compensate for what it would lose from the SM de BTS, the only short-term option was to acquire agencies, If the acquired agency had a good group it was profit, the training work was already covered The problem was with the new groups that he put together because the subsidiary agencies could not wait to have long periods of training because they had to give results soon. They gathered idols who finished their contracts and had popularity or trainers with minimal training and put together groups, where the "priority" was dancing and not so much vocals.The songs were chosen mainly to be played on networks and platforms. is this model wrong? Well, for investors and shareholders, it is convenient for a quick return on investment and by forming fandoms, they have captive consumers. In the end, those criticized and sacrificed to public opinion will be the idols.
