[@PhoenixDilemmaProductions]

As a musician and KZbinr who creates extremely candid/unedited videos, I can totally understand why musicians (and especially Kpop idols) use pre-recorded vocals since they're constantly dancing and panting. However, as someone who comes from a pop punk background, live music isn't always supposed to be perfect. Personally, I'd much rather seeing performers in their raw skin even though it's not "perfect" since it showcases their talent in that magical live moment. But yah thanks for giving us insights into this! I instinctively could hear the differences in the level of pre recorded vocals between members but I wasn't aware there was actual percentages.

[@soobeanie]

Yeahhhhh Glad you liked the videoooooo

[@PhoenixDilemmaProductions]

Keep at it hooman ~

[@EM-rm2xh]

Exactly. I go to local pubs/showboxes/etc., and there's a big difference. The sad thing is that people that just watch music through a screen don't always know when to recognize if something is completely live. There are a few Korean music shows that do completely live vocals (SMA, KMA, etc.). Sad thing is, when people watch those performances, they say the idols "sound tired." No, wrong. They sound live. That's what actual live vocals sound like. And the fact that they sound so good with hard choreo is even more amazing. I find it funny that they diss the performances that are actually the most amazing.

[@PhoenixDilemmaProductions]

100% agree with you! I'll definitely have to check out those musicians you mentioned, but I feel the exact same as you. The "tired" comment always gets to me... Singing (not to mention in front of an audience) is so physically draining and there are so many factors which affect a musicians performance on the day

[@EM-rm2xh]

@@PhoenixDilemmaProductions I think the one that comes to mind for my for BTS is their performance at the JBTV Radio Station in Chicago. This stage is a legendary stage. ALL the big names from Prince to Radiohead to Pink Floyd, etc. have played this stage. You can see that it's designed for rock bands (with the raised platform in the back). This radio station requires 100% live vocals. BTS not only had to sing 100% live, but they also had to adjust their choreo to fit a stage designed for rock bands. (They actually show them meeting in the hotel room during their tour and trying to fix the choreo in the hotel room to be in such a small space. You can also see them worrying about not being able to provide a good performance because the stage is so small.) Fire at JBTV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6ComqCHnJ2VpNE Save Me at JBTV: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWWXoJamr92MhKc I think the reason I like this performance so much is that you can see that they have worked their way to the top because they take on challenges instead of avoiding them and adapt. Coming from a small, bankrupt company, they often didn't have the best conditions and would have to take what they could get. For this reason, they made sure they were strong performers no matter the situation. I think this stage shows that (as well as a lot of the other US stages that use minimal camera work and nearly no support vocals).

[@luliitahhful]

I had a horrible experience when I went to Music Bank. I've done them all except Arirang and Show Champion, but Music Bank, my ass had to get there as a fan at 6AM. (That was the earliest I could get there because of the subway system from my place). Take our photo in front of the sign for the fan club to text to them. We waited ALL DAY to be brought into the pre-recording. It kept getting delayed. It got all the way down to the wire and they ran out of the time, so only the top tier fans got to go into the recording and the rest had to stay. And then I found out that Music Bank doesn't allow entry unless you have a ticket beforehand (compared to Inki and MuCore who give the rest of their tickets to fans outside). I was pissed. 1. No sleep. Waiting all day. 2. Did not to go into the show. So I called my Korean friend and asked him to give me the sappiest text message about how I flew all the way to Korea (not true) to go to Music Bank (lol) blah blah blah. I miraculously found the producer (shockingly) who was letting ticket holders in (because he had to get specific family in). I showed up him my phone with my sappy message and he felt it and he said, "It's actually a light day today, so we can squeeze you in." And guess what, I got in! It was a rough day though honestly lol, but it actually paid off. I never wanted to do it again though. My experiences at Inkigayo and Music Core were so much better. M! Countdown was alright (shrugs)

Oh so you dont generally need a ticket to the shows? At what time should you in that case go there to wait outside? Im interested in going next time i go to Korea

@@eatmycookies1493 It's best to do the lottery for MuCore and Inkigayo and hope for the best. That's done online.

[@harusameiro]

Really interesting info about the pre-recordings! I didn't know they fine-tuned it to that extent, for each individual member on a day by day basis. My opinion on it is that it's perfectly fine to do lip-syncing and pre-recordings if it's important for the singers. Screw "live singing" pride. For example, if singing that day will damage their throat or they're sick, I don't think it's good to power through it because it's really horrible for throat health, it's just not worth it long-term. I think a lot of people have a fundamental misunderstanding about how singing works, too--it's almost all about breathing! There's not some innate magical "singing gene" that makes people good at singing no matter the circumstances. So if you're doing an aerobic choreography that affects your breath (basically all K-pop choreo), it's unrealistic to expect human beings with normal human limits to perform challenging vocal runs, high notes, heck even regular notes, with the same smoothness they normally could. There are some people who can do it anyway, but they're rather outliers. Of course, if a group did 100% lip-syncing every single time, that would be weird. But I don't know any groups that do that. I knew music shows took a long time, but I can't believe Music Bank makes the performers wait all morning, all day, and all night just to do a performance--if Inkigayo can get people in and out within 5 hours, they should be able to get *somewhat* close to that, even if there's an difference in manpower or resources... that's gotta be costing every person in that building big bucks, to pay people to sit around on standby. Hard to take a nap when you're on call. :/ No wonder they often tape shows while idols are at music shows though, lol. I'm really curious about the cameras, and I would love to see another video talking about it.

YES I have questions, latching onto the exchanging numbers thing - Is it common for idols/artists to exchange numbers with each other? Can the company control who you go out to meet with (especially if it's another artist)? Are friendships encouraged or discouraged between companies? If you have friends outside the company, is it hard to get close, because there are certain things you can and can't say? Do the schedules make these kinds of friendships difficult to maintain, and how is that generally dealt with? If you're in an idol group, and you have just ordinary school friends, are you allowed to bring them to the dorm or do the managers need to be updated? Obviously, in big companies, there are lots of public close bonds between groups - are there many instances where certain groups or people do have close bonds, but they have to keep it quiet/no one pays attention to it? K whew sorry that was a bit of a word vomit. But your videos are super informative, especially when wanting to research what idol life is like personally - sources like your videos are so hard to come by that haven't been censored or measured etc. Thank you so much!

thank you for all your videos! i would like to request a video about idols’ relationship to fans. like what do idols think about just facing a screaming mass wherever they go, is it exciting or just annoying? what do idols appreciate most about their fans (actions, things they say etc)? in what situations are idols most comfortable with their fans, is it when fans are cheering for a performance, while being close & talking during a fansign, while doing a live stream or while reading comments written on your videos? are there certain things that idols like & dislike about their fans (once again, actions, things they say etc)? i also sometimes feel like idols constantly saying how much they love the fans might be a bit exaggerated, especially when it comes from an artist whose fans usually are quite annoying even to the artist themself. can idols really love their fans that much when they constantly get mobbed, their privacy is violated, fans are being possessive etc...? what do idols ACTUALLY think about their fans? i think this would be a very interesting topic to hear more about, thanks in advance!💗

BUT when I watch the recording I took that day, even though I know that they were singing, I feel like I still can’t be certain. So I guess that’s because of the percentages...

[@rvnprlmrose6621]

Like the live singing and pre-recorded vocals were so blended in you will be confused. It could also be one of the reasons why its in percentages. 😅

[@MadCheshireHat]

The thing I love about 2NE1 and Big Bang is that I could almost always hear their live vocals. I hate artists/groups that I can't hear their voices over the playback, and I don't mean performances in which the sound systems are wonky, but that every performance was like that. I don't mind playback and I get that they're dancing, but I prefer clear distinction of voice from playback. Otherwise I tend to spend the whole time trying to determine if/when they're actually singing, plus it's not as special or interesting to me.

Basically it means you're rich because you're not a farmer who has to work everyday under the sun. And it's rare to be super white skinned, and rareness makes beauty standards

[@val4408]

idols whitewash themselves alone in their selfies. it's an asian thing. don't think much will change if they themselves do it to their own pictures.

[@swapnil1590]

You promised me that you'll do video on Z-boys and Z-girls, Don't break your promise!! BTW nice video!!

[@MBisonTurbo]

I need that sandwiches video real quick

[@admiringstuff]

It's good to know that you found Inkigayo as the best. My bias, GOT7's Jinyoung, was an MC for Inkigayo and it's nice to know that he, along with other idols, were in good hands.

[@eggnog7618]

how blessing it would be to be the group after mamamoo's performance hmmm

[@mariaakaannie6138]

OMG, the fact that they all get different levels (like 30% 50% 70%) explains so much! I always wondered about that because while some people sing louder than others, that can be evened out a lot by mics, so when it isn't evened out at all that made me really curious as to why. Thank you for giving this explanation!

[@omg11118]

Hey maybe you can do a video about in-ear.. like how it works.. how it helps the artist.. and why is it so important to artist.. basically just everything u need to know bout in-ears on music show

[@tubatubatu]

I noticed in a EXID - I love you stage that they filmed the performance at least twice because right after a close up of Hani's face her hair was in different position when they showed the whole group

[@swtychoco]

Can you make a video that talk about something that K-Idols do behind the award show ?

[@d1a2r3k4]

This is SO interesting!!! Thank you so much for shedding light on music shows and pre-recorded vocals, I've always been so curious about this and the 30, 50, 70 thing is eye-opening! I love your Idol Insider series and hope you keep spilling trade secrets :P, especially on the "business" end of things. For example, could you share more about the process of a comeback from start to finish? Like how is the concept formed? Do the idols have any say in the concept or is that all up to the company? How are parts of the song distributed, how is the title track chosen, how long do you practice the choreography and singing for, what's the recording process like for the song, what's it like to film the MV, promotions leading up to the comeback, what do idols do after promotions end, etc. I definitely want to hear about ISAC and camera work as well...oh, could you also share more about music award shows (e.g. MAMA), and what those are like behind the scenes? Do groups know beforehand that they've won something? Are there shockers/upsets? Does news travel down the grapevine like, "yeah, that group didn't deserve that award" or something like that? Another video idea, could you share more about what variety shows are like as well? We get glimpses of the odd hours idols are filming or how long they're filming for, but it'd be amazing if you could shed some light there like how you did with how long it takes to film for music shows. And how "real" are idols and the hosts on variety shows? THANK YOU AGAIN FOR SHARING

[@KMoments]

love the effort you put into your videos! thank you for sharing the inside scoop :)

[@MetallAndy]

Whoa! This is so interesting. Thanks for sharing the “secrets”. I’ve got a question about the percentage of pre recorded vocals. Is 0% even an option? Is the decision taken mostly by the company, artist, music show or maybe a combo?

[@soobeanie]

Mmmmmmmmm it is rare but there are prob people who do but somtimes it can break the flow of the song if its 0%

[@MetallAndy]

soobeanie_ Ah, makes sense considering the amount of dancing most groups do as well. Thanks again for the inside info 😉

[@erikachannel1996]

I think Kim JAEHWAN do 0% he is Soloist and not have time to prerecording

[@HannahS127]

@@soobeaniethis maybe late question. Just discover ur yt 😊 just wanna know, hw abt Mamamoo?

[@-pretentiouspoets.1504]

can you talk about writing songs? like who writes them and how much the idols contribute, the structures of songs, line distribution, etc. this always seemed interesting to me.

[@j0130z]

@soobinie yesss pls let us know how much idols have a say in song writing and freedom in creation and royalties etc!! I know groups like bts, btob, day6 etc have freedom to song write whereas some groups just sing whatever they're given?? Why is that so?

[@abearicano]

I've noticed the 30%/50%/70% after watching hundreds/thousands of idol performances. Some members clearly have more backing vocal track over other members (usually the main vocals). Never knew it usually has fixed percentages though. Really interesting~

[@_arazylus_14_]

Just wondering with the k-bands such as Day6 can they play their instruments live?

[@dolli558]

i have noticed the percentage of pre-recording before, no one has mentioned it before you did. for me, it's noticeable when they're singing because i would literally memorize how their vocals sound like in the cd version so anything else would definitely sound different to me.

[@irinag9120]

I just wanted to say that I LOVE your videos! I've worked in the Western entertainment industry (not as an artist but in press&media) and I'm very interested in the backstage aspects of the k-pop world and how it differs from what I'm used to. You focus on talking about the facts and explaining the way things work instead of just falling deep into the gossip-y part. Great work, very informative!

[@jesskhan09]

Has there ever been any fanwars at the music shows?

[@JeromesMum1]

i remember when i watched sechskies on infinite challenge i think it was (was their guerrilla concert episode), and they said their fans and another fandom got into a fist fight outside one of these places...obviously back in the 90s. would say its mostly verbal fights and bit of shoving these days between fandoms.

[@spilledmilk2991]

🙏Thanks for making such a great and helpful vid! Can you make a video about those inkigayo sandwiches... I've got a hunch on baekhyun sending chanyeol something.... 😉😂❤️

[@namjesuslovesus4316]

I have a question do kpop idols get to pick if they want a handheld mic or a face mic??

[@madidadou]

Thank you I was so curious about how music shows work and especially lip-syncing! I wanted to ask you: can you talk about the whole process of a comeback? Like how the concept is chosen, how are lines distributed among members, everything about MV, promotion, choreography, and things like that!

[@treasure1765]

Can u do a video on camerawork.

[@soobeanie]

MMKKAYY

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

I think this was a great video :) I always wondered this, because I love watching Super Junior live on music shows when they have videos for it on KZbin, and I always realized how it works, because most of the time they'd be singing the song, and also some of the time the performance is pre-recorded. When I do hear vocals, the main vocalists, like Yesung, Ryeowook, and Kyuhyun will usually stand out a lot more than the others, with a little bit of the pre-recorded part. The others you can still hear, but it's not as noticeable. Like for Sorry, Sorry they'd singing live completely, but then something like Black Suit is mostly pre-recorded since the choreo is hella insane. THANK YOU FOR THIS INSIDER INFO :D

[@soobeanie]

No problemmmm

[@Keropiskpop]

Please I have a question, is there any drama between groups or members in the backstage of these programs? Spill the tea girl PS I love your videos, so much info I always wondered about but never even question before

[@KarenSaranghaeSuJu]

I don’t know about other groups but Super Junior literally talked too much times in national television about their fights in the backstage of music programs, the most famous probably would be when they fight during mr simple era in the inkigayo backstage (you can find the story if you search choding junior in youtube) and the incheon battle between Leeteuk and Heechul 😂

[@bhavyasrisuggula526]

I feel like for pre-recorded vocals, it's fine if it's like 50 or 75 if you are a rookie because not many idols start of super stable. Remember when JYP made a statement that Twice would use less pre-recorded vocals in their 2016 performances. But, if you have been an idol for a couple of years, I feel like pre-recorded vocals would then depend on your song. Like, TxT uses pre-recorded vocals because they are rookies and have intense dances. But, like BTS for 'ON' used practically none

[@hye2004]

7:07 i feel like you're talking about loona's stage in MAMA...

[@JackS1204]

Hi Tina - Another great video. Yes - Please do a video on cameras and the camerawork on the various shows. You mentioned Inkigayo had great camerawork. It did in the past. Lately, the camerawork on Inkigayo is awful. Watch some of the clips of Dreamcatcher's new song Piri on Inkigayo. The camerawork is appallingly back. They consistently botch how they film the choreo. It's really bad.

[@scyt33]

I just discovered your channel and I'm totally in love with your content. I'm subscribing now. I've watched other kpop insider videos mostly those audition ones but the way you explain everything in detail like here is so different. You spill alot of tea haha 🍵 I wished I've known about you sooner. It's sad that I've been into kpop for so long but I didn't heard of your previous group before

[@r.osemary]

I'm honestly PRESSED that I didn't know about Blady while it was still around, since the Blady songs that I've now heard are pretty much exactly the style I was listening to back then lol. Never too late to stan you now though, Tina 💖

[@roomofmirros]

Bruh performing on music shows is really hard actually...With how people expect idols to sing live and perfectly, if you're an idol, you have to sing, dance in those outfits, with jewelries hanging on you, with lots of makeup on your face and your hair done, manage to not look crappy and weird cause cameras are filming you AND also be careful about which camera you have to look at, not to mention that the projectors in those studios(?) make the stage super hot...all of these after hours of waiting in those rooms, while having woke up in early morning, probably not eaten enough food...That's CRAZY cause I feel so frustrated when I do the least amount of make up and have my hair loosen for parties and stuff after an hour, I feel like wanting to take EVERYTHING of of me asap, idols have to do that for 2 to 4 weeks, and atleast 3 days each week... I kind of understand why idols don't do live singing and people who expect them to do it well are being so selfish, they have to be on their shoes to know how hard it is and they write all of those hateful comments lying on their bed lol

[@SadiyaKhan-km9db]

Can you make a video on how idols are able to afford expensive cloths even if they are not able to alot of money. Love you😘😘

[@franksonatra]

Fans give it to them, they get a lot of gifts.

[@MarkDeSade100]

The part about listening to the vocals of the group who goes before you reminded me of the first episode of JTBC Girl Spirit (great show that was on a few years ago). Oh My Girl's Seunghee, who won the episode, totally slayed her stage and at the end they cut to April's Jinsol (who was going next and monitoring) and she looked terrified. 😂 To be fair she was like 14 at the time... but I'll never forget her look of, "How can I follow that?"

[@Ysnes]

Oh is that why I think I saw a video of the winning award where all the idols stand together. And then you see FX standing in the back with Krystal adorably walking off stage

This makes so much sense about the live singing. A mix sounds so obvious now but also I think there are a lot of performances for kpop groups to go to. 3 or 4 music shows a week and then live non - recorded ones like how many times in total will they be singing over the promo period?! And if you're the belter yikes
