The Hardest Kpop Songs To Perform LIVE (Boy Groups)

[@kimdaniel2601]

I think Shinee, Exo, and Ateez all have multiple songs that fit this list.

[@vixxexo6855]

Shinee Everybody, EXO Mama and Ateez Guerilla were my first thoughts.

[@muhammadaskari5793]

​@@vixxexo6855no for real ATEEZ and Guerilla first came in my mind

[@chibib]

Ateez Inception also came to mind for me. It's hard to balance flashy dancing with equally flashy vocals but Ateez is one of the few groups I know that can do it consistently and EVEN better, they add a theatrical/dramatic flair to their performances! (I especially love watching Hongjoong idk I wanna marry his stage presence ugh)

[@Hamida-eh2qk]

Exactly ❤❤❤ and also Seventeen ❤

[@ladymeda]

I would also add Wonderland too especially the final dance break.

[@neobongzzz]

EXO and SHINee's title tracks are just something else man

[@Alexandra_Indina]

EXO's b-sides are even harder.

[@ayakoha]

That specific Monster performance is glorious, I feel like crying from how beautiful it is

[@absolutelynotellen]

Until this day, I never had the nerve to dance to a Shinee song.

[@manogaming6534]

Practice harder u can They r too easy

[@halane4790]

I would not want to dance next to MinKey, let alone Taemin 😭 I would maybe dare with the other two if they are having a bad day

[@avotia]

​@@manogaming6534Oh let me guess... You're clearly a fan of one of the two most popular groups. only their fans (not all) consider it necessary to write something unpleasant under a comment praising someone other than their favorite group. I'm sure I didn't miss.

[@halane4790]

@Ofra8191- I mean... Jinki did fall on his butt just recently during one of his practices... 😂😂😂😂 I feel like maybe I could take him at his 50%... 😂😂😂

[@Lawol]

@@halane4790 Jonghyun was pretty much equal to Minho if not better at one point, although Minho has taken his dancing to another level recently. But Jonghyun was nonetheless a pretty competent dancer, I think he's generally underrated or his dancing is overlooked due to his amazing vocal skills.

[@LUVSTA.Y]

I performed Halazia in front of my dance and vocal teacher last year. I did it, but I couldn’t speak for 4 more weeks, and I sprained my ankle

[@ayakoha]

sorry, that made me laugh, I hope you're all healthy now!

[@LUVSTA.Y]

@@ayakoha HAHHAHA no worries, I laugh about it myself now, and yes, I’m healthy now.

[@boodledemic6430]

Mad respect

[@mathildes8583]

I also injured myself on an Ateez choreo, it's a normal occurrence apparently loool

[@8_MAK3S_1.T3AM]

Rip to you and your ankle bestie ✋😀

[@R0VERKAI]

EXO has many songs that Are really hard to perform. EXO chose "Lucky one" themselves as the hardest song so perform. Thanks for making videos about EXO again.🙏

[@adam_c_edwards]

I know they said that but I also thought it was electric kiss they hated today because of how hard the dance is

[@msadent1825]

Because lucky one has so many different moves, and also hand moves

[@namursyid]

I was confused on my first attempt doing that

[@R0VERKAI]

​@@adam_c_edwards Yes, electric kiss choreography is crazy.

[@mashedpotato3291]

ooohh for real. exo despise lucky one hahaha

[@Dkfujxhx]

Good so Bad and all of Zb1's songs are very difficult to sing because they are all very high pitched, even higher pitched than most girl group songs. They have high notes full of falsettos and full of incredible vocal combinations from start to finish, and that, plus their very demanding choreographies on a respiratory and cardiovascular level, makes them a death trap. Good luck to those who want to imitate this without failing in the attempt

[@wren1024]

I've noticed no ZB1 song has been on a survival program yet, despite ZB1 being million sellers for all of their albums so far - I think the songs are just to high, and the choreo is just too crazy

[@Dkfujxhx]

@broskiyt12 The video is not about talent and my comment is not about the solo career from Zhanghao and Hanbin, much less about Boys Planet. I think you got the wrong video or comment 🤔

[@kguerr197]

​@@DkfujxhxThe video is about their talent & endurance while performing live. Don't know what video you think you're watching but it's not this one. You're not that much better than the person who commented before you. Oh please. 🙄

[@terrell835]

EXO’s section made me miss them so much. I wish I had gotten to see them live at that time, OT9 would’ve gone so hard ❤

[@miseranyx]

I see some comments saying "this group's song is harder" but let us not forget and remind ourselves that songs that have fast and complicated choreographies are most likely not live. Most kpop songs that lean heavily on heavy dancing are NOT MEANT to be sang live but more on entertainment purposes. No vocalist in this world could dance fast and sing like it sounds so smooth and clean with no inconsistencies.

[@ticghjk]

This is so true, you need to have a good balance in order to be able to give a good live performance. What's the point of an impressive choreography if they never sing live?

[@LadyTiferet]

Ateez solved that by giving their main vocal special parts of the choreo that let him catch his breath. You'll hear the others running and jumping while singing live though, with and without a backing track, like on Immortal Songs. They never lipsync. Still, sometimes it costs them, they infamously had their health team waiting for them behind the scenes with oxygen during the Guerrilla promo run.

[@diarythatyouforgot8704]

New kpopies don't understand that there are vocal song and performance song....

[@LadyTiferet]

@@diarythatyouforgot8704 get yourself a group that can do both 😌

[@ticghjk]

@@diarythatyouforgot8704 there are some more performance heavy songs where the vocals are kept simple but there should not be a no-sing-to-dance-song

[@pinkypumpkins]

I thought Shinee's would be Lucifer tbh. There's a concert where they performed Ring Ding Dong and Lucifer back to back and Jonghyun held that high note for so long it's just godlike. EXO really goated with Monster. They had a concert where they opened with Mama, Monster, and Wolf back to back, and it was freaking amazing.

[@awoosh13]

I think bc of the increase in intensity of dancing in later years, the older songs don’t hold up as well in comparison to difficulty. But I def agree that was an intense performance! Also was surprised Everybody was not considered LOL

[@triplej8666]

I think sherlock at 2013 GDA is more impressive, the vocals are turned way up and it has one of the most active choreos, whenever a member has a line theres individual choreo at the same time

[@daulfinlover8534]

I would think SHINee's would be Everybody. That choreo is nuts!

[@prescillasabalbarino-io5rp]

EXO's: Drop That, Run This, Keep on Dancing, Bring Out the Beast, Two Moons, Transformer, Lightsaber, Machine, Monster, and legendary Wolf. Others are: EXO-CBX singles, etc.

[@tamakikun5109]

SERIOUSLY!!! They're crazy I miss them 🥺😭😭

[@bogik.3047]

Just watching CBX choreos are enough to make me tired 🤣 they're crazy!

[@varshajohn]

Chen's high note in drop that lasts for about 7/8 seconds. I would add electric kiss too

[@jingokhiangte6605]

Eldorado is the hardest

[@Nina2000sm]

EXO's live vocals never cease to amaze me omg

[@khristel9914]

What I would give to experience monster for the first time again 😭 like that is pop perfection from start to finish. mt everest of kpop is probably the best way to describe it

[@lauren2906]

[@WendyTo-sf1hl]

EXO's vocal line is national treasure ❤

[@アウエン]

People often forget SHINee are the reason why idols ended up being considered as valuable dancers. Before them, only BoA was really considered as a 'real dancer'. SHINee changed it with Lucifer, and birthed dance-focused groups. Was surprised to see their most recent song, but their whole discography is full of hard songs... Like of course Lucifer, but also Sherlock and Everybody are top 3 to me. I'm especially fond of these old Sherlock lives... Like they were so young but so so good, it always makes me a tad bit emotional. EXO are also so good lives ! They were my first K-Pop group with B.A.P, and I'm always so fond of their lives (real lives) performances. I've been listening to their songs for 11 years, and I still don't know who my favorite EXO vocalist is... Like these days I'm more D.O biased, but really, it's unstable... And Monster is my favorite title track, everything in it sounds so good to my ears, I can't get enough of it é.è I love ATEEZ too ! I have lots of friends who love them, so I ended up listening to them a lot by default. Their dances seem so hard, I'm always watching them in awe. They are for sure one of the strongest boygroups of 4th gen, they deserves all their flowers, they are truly talented. They just give what they promised, like their performances are strong and energetic... I do have lots of affection for them.

[@milyverma7821]

When it comes to 3rd gen boy group and it is DANCE+VOCALS...no one can beat EXO....they are king for a reason vocal king indeed...and OG live performer ❤

[@adam_c_edwards]

Yes I agree are first but btob also have insane live vocals and are all strong at dance

[@priyadarshaniabeyrathne5225]

Facts

[@tomoovehk]

I'd add A.C.E too for 3rd gen

[@vixxexo6855]

EXO do have the best vocal line in 3rd gen along with Btob.

[@mbhagii5784]

They are gd too No hate but seventeen also have hard dance + powerful and beautiful 13vocals+ synchronised grp in kpop+ facial and enjoyable, powerful stage presence. It's my opinion no hate to other grp

[@Whatwhatwhatwhatwhats]

Exo has a lot of difficult songs to sing live but one of the hardest imo is definitly "Don't mess up my tempo" There's literaly none that did a cover of it,none that I know of at least. It's not even just the dance part the most difficult thing,is the whole vocal part and acapella especially,one of exo best tt ever

[@blessingsforyou5316]

I saw two covers of it but nobody included the acapella section!

[@ji24722]

Ateez DEFINITELY deserves this spot for 4th gen. Ateez choreos are BRUTAL

[@springss1861]

Kinda shocked that neither Sherlock nor Everybody was the chosen one. The live stages for those songs are a thrill to watch. I would even say Dream Girl is much harder to perform than it appears

[@btvsfan394]

I'm shocked too. I was kinda hoping it'd be Dream Girl just to be different, but it's definitely not Hard.. Like it's definitely Everybody.

[@DenallieDNa]

My favorit ❤ Sherlock I performed that in high school

[@nikki.exosnoona]

that's what i'm about to say! i think Everybody is just insane!

[@Vinyltechnician]

Even the x2 speed of Everybody would've been a better choice.

[@mbrow]

Thank you SHINEE for being the first group to combine hard choreography and live vocals. First song that accomplished this? Lucifer!

[@mariaman1666]

I believe the first ones to bring hard choreos and high notes were INFINITE though. Or at least sincronised choreos with high notes. But yeah SHINEE's LUCIFER is defenetlly one of the harderst songs of this category and is worth mentioning.

[@JeangraceSalgado]

Definitely more of exo's song are hard to cover because of highnote that only Chen and Baekhyun can sing ,vocal run and riffs that only d.o can do and Acapella only exo 😊😊 then SHINee,btob also,mamamoo

[@LeebitsEars00]

Thank you for recognizing ATEEZ. They have trained very hard to remain stable during demanding choreo. In their training days they would sing while jogging and jumping. KQ, their company, wanted to ensure that this would be something that would separate them from other groups, and something they could be known for. Truly impressive.

[@fivestarmichelin_]

People who say you can't sing well while dancing hard need to see Shinee lol. They are the epitome of skill.

[@awoosh13]

During his solo comeback this year, an interviewer asked Onew about the difficulties of singing and dancing live. He literally was like “I don’t know how to answer this. It’s something we’ve always done” 😂

[@DenallieDNa]

Sherlock live performance still amaze me

[@jimmycroni]

During second gen, I remember thinking most groups were lip syncing and I was fine with it because they were dancing but then I saw a Shinee performance (can’t recall the song) and was shocked that they were singing live and dancing and it raised my standards.

[@majita9385]

They actually went for a training (running) and were singing all during it and I know it was in their early days.

[@faeriegraver]

I was thinking of this! They went running and practiced singing as they ran​@@majita9385

[@westangayidols]

[@Ladydydiana]

Finally EXO again 🥺🥰 thankyouuuuu 🤍

[@batatagumball5549]

Shinee has many challenging songs to perform live, like Everybody, that has a physically demanding choreography and has almost every member doing a high note. Even their b-sides are hard to perform live, like Excuse Me Miss. Do you guys recall any other B-sides that are difficult to perform (Shinee or not)? Also, other songs that could be included: Decalcomanie by Mamamoo, Apple by GFriend, Evanesce by Super Junior and Dumb Dumb by Red Velvet

[@ticghjk]

Dynamite and Evil are really difficult imo❤

[@Lawol]

All Day All Night, Hitchhiking, Stranger, Picasso... there's too many.

[@ananyasubramani4596]

I think Everybody is tougher in SHINee. The song ENDS with 4 high notes and the choreo is extremely tough

[@riahlexington]

Yeah exactly.

[@Lawol]

Sherlock too

[@cosmicinflation06]

ZB1 have some of the most difficult songs to sing but choose to sing live anyways They really value the time they can get to perform, as it is more meaningful for them

[@cocoplayax]

Omg when you said you’re doing this video I was thinking of EXO’s Monster also BAP’s One Shot as a candidate.

[@al_854]

I'm glad some people still remember BAP

[@aebaseone]

no literally most of zb1 songs are hard to sing live, most ppl dont notice it bc zb1 are alwys serving flawless vocals😭😭

[@solinkdc2645]

I’d rather do an intense 1 hours workout with no rest than performing Monster by EXO live. Btw that’d be cool if you could make another ranking video or overrated / underrated vocalists video because I love how you analyse each vocalist and pinpoint their strengths / weaknesses.

[@Rozzness]

Yes please! I would love for him to go on about how good Shinee's live vocals and performances are on a full length video!😆

[@dagitabliwanag9057]

1. Shinee has always been that good since their debut. Ofc as part of second gen they would most likely do their songs live. But other than that, they really dance well and strongly as a group too (ot5). So imagine dancing so hard and slaying vocals jxjdskak that made me follow them for more than a decade now. 2. EXO - ofc their live perfs never fails to surprise or never disappoints. Some may point out the imperfections but for me that's what makes it more attractive (as part of perf) coz u know it's live. I've watched almost all of their concert performances and they're all so good!! (Must watch if u want to actually appreciate their live vocals) 3. Yasss! Ofc Ateez and Dreamcatcher are basically sibling grps from different companies! When u said about being torn, i was thinkinh maybe another song of them or maybe another group like Seventeen. But totally deserve to be placed here! They continuously amaze me w their aura and talent during live perfs. I also hoped seventeen is here tho lol. 4. Yass ZB1. Altho im not that into the group yet, i appreciate their talent and potentials. I saw their concert perfs and i feel proud as someone who knew them from Boys Planet.

[@riahlexington]

SHINee that good since debut? Jonghyun and Onew yes, the others improved a lot

[@trillian777]

[@triplej8666]

@@riahlexington Key was also good during debut, and Minho was rapping so he was fine, the only one who had trouble and obviously improved a massive amount was Taemin, but only in vocals, he was already the best dancer, he just hadn't learnt to sing yet.

[@resurgingflame]

Some ppl might be upset about this but I'd argue that Cream Soda is FAR harder to perform than Monster. Just watch the dance practice, it's EXHAUSTING. It's almost non-stop moving, formation changes & requires a hell lot of stamina. But aside of the choreo, the song itself vocally is extremely difficult to cover. What BG song requires u to sing the same 3 prechorus & 3 chorus in high upper register with runs, & overall vocal range stretches wide with F2 - E5 - A5 & extremely fast runs? That's INSANE.

[@ExolExist]

Yes❤

[@gorgeousangelvyky3342]

[@jjakkoong]

[@leelovescoffee]

Many of today's kpop groups are more focused on their choreography vs their vocals. This is why I have always preferred 2nd gen and SOME 3rd gen kpop. Vocals were EVERYTHING, and choreography came second. Even if you danced better than the rest, those idols still had to be proficient at singing. And like Xiumin said, "If you can't sing well, no matter how good you are at dancing, you won't look talented." Personally, I fell in love with kpop because groups used to focus a lot on singing. And among SM, all groups had to sing really well AND dance really well. If one was better at one or the other, other members would balance them out. SHINee and EXO are groups that have been successful because they really value the vocal aspect of being a group and have never stopped wanting to improve and grow. Both groups give it their 200% when performing, and that includes dancing really well, rapping really well, singing REALLY well, and bringing stage presence at every performance. As the video said, being able to have control of the stage while singing and dancing at 100%, is incredibly difficult to do.

Hard is song that shows SHINee's expertise. You need to have their expertise to do it and they did it perfectly. Even if the choreography isn't brutal for SHINee's standard, you need great vocalists, rappers and performers to do it.

[@AvocadoPear]

SHINee’s HARD performances from their encore concert in May were amaaaazing. I’ve been so impressed with their commitment to singing that song live. But aren’t there older SHINee songs that are even more difficult to perform than HARD? Like I know they don’t sing DCM with live vocals, but songs like Sherlock, Everybody, and Lucifer they definitely have performed live and the choreo is more difficult and intense as well. Also, fyi, I understand that in the context of the video you meant that SHINee “performs as 4” but I don’t recommend referring to them as a “4 member group” as both they and their fans still very much think of them as 5.

[@riahlexington]

They don’t do DCM live in concert? That seems odd. I know about music shows but concert too?

[@AvocadoPear]

@riahlexington Personally I haven’t seen any DCM performance with live vocals from their concerts, so I don’t think they ever do, but could be wrong. Typically in concert they do a section for their dance-heavy songs with very limited live vocals. Like they might sing a few lines of some of those songs live, but mostly it’s prerecorded. And then they do other sections with exclusively live singing. So the only DCM live vocals I’ve ever personally seen were in music show encore stages and they did an amazing job with it in that context, so I’m not really sure why they never attempt to sing it live. Maybe the dance just makes it too strenuous 🤷‍♀️

[@riahlexington]

@ oh that makes sense. Encore stages don’t have full dance though. They do sing some lines in the dance heavy songs though even everybody. I guess they meant not completely live but nothing in K-pop is especially dance heavy. Now I want someone to find me a live performance of advice. That choreography scares me.

For instance, take this recent performance at Hangout With Yoo! ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/mHzRXnaMnZx3aNE ) where they performed Sherlock, HARD, Lucifer and Ring Ding Dong 3 of which were BACK TO BACK with NO breaks in between, only a short talking break after Sherlock and they still sounded so powerful. You can clearly hear them breathe into the mics on this one with a minimal backing track. Or 'All Day All Night' one of their b-sides from 6 years ago, it's among their most difficult choreographies and they mostly performed it live ON MUSIC SHOWS which is pretty much unheard of nowadays and even back then barely anyone else could attempt it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHi3qX6BmdR1h5Y

EXO really makes me proud of their powerful live performances. They’re mostly even better than the studio versions! 😍

[@elainesalvador7280]

Shinee!!

[@my_purple_space]

Very good choices! Thanks for talking about Ateez this time. 🎉

[@selene6.238]

im surprised he didnt choose everybody for shinee

[@b.j786]

Exo people l always don't understand how they can be this perfect ❤

[@eridise24]

Ok HOT TAKE BUT EXO'S WOLF IS EXTREMELY TIRING LIKE THE AMOUNT OF JUMPING AND FORMATION CHANGES TO GET THE HOLY BRIDGE IS CRAZY DNMDMX

[@mahimab015]

I was also going to comment for wolf😢 it's so difficult that I doubt even will Exo be able to perform the choreo now in their 30s.

[@ExolExist]

Not to mention Chen's and baekhyun's part in the end. And if I was kyungsoo I'll run out of the stage cause his parts are insane

[@eridise24]

[@ExolExist]

@@eridise24 yep , one of their best performance. The e adlibs were perfect and so were the stage itself. when the tree bloomed I got goosebumps all over my body. Not to mention baekhyun owned the whole performance.And man, they were singing live for god's sake 🔥 Missed Kai though, giving the added choreography, he would've slayed 😭

[@lakshak.1293]

It is the way everyone think diff songs for SHINee..i thought it will be everybody,lucifer or sherlock..and again,their whole discography is difficult..well they were the one who introduced difficult choreography to kpop..even their bside such as all day all night,excuse me miss,stranger etc r difficult to perform

[@andyvincenti]

Fun fact: they are my favorite boygroups from each generation (EXO is my ult group). Yes, I stan talent

[@richeldajeon448]

Same here! I stan talent... so it's EXO

[@justafan-r5u]

My Ateez and ZB1 ❤

[@fanjamalala6526]

Monster is off charts... this performance is just insane and difficult

[@dominic4502]

I can't believe we won't see another monster performance, imo there's no one who can create another song like monster or tempo and this is a big loss for Kpop

[@nineplustentwentyone26]

I KNEW that Ateez was going to be here... their choreographies are intense as hell and their vocal lines are always incredibly hard. ON TOP OF THAT, they have 100000% on their facials and Ateez is literally known for being stable as hell live!

[@allukazldk6717]

instead of Monster, i'm more intrigued if EXO's CREAM SODA will be covered properly or will ever be used in any survival show 😂

[@b.j786]

I think the same ❤😂😂

[@chelseameazza4239]

SHINee's song, All day all night (b-side) that song is hard to sing and the choreography is also hard, a lot of moves and fast, and SHINee was performing that song with live vocal ofc

[@Lawol]

EXACTLY, and they performed it live with a minimal backing track even on music shows, this was of course 6 years ago when it was still possible to find performances like that but not many groups could attempt it at all.

[@Oliverlvsolives]

I knew 5th gen's was gonna be zb1 but I thought it was going to be kill the romeo, like that choreo is HARD. But tbh I'm only a dancer and I know 0 to none about when a song is difficult in vocals so maybe it isn't as difficult to sing as gsb

[@mikaortega1823]

Exo realmente tiene tantas canciones con unos vocales increíbles 😮

[@oji168]

EXO love me right especially comes to mind. Specifically D.O’s parts.

[@Megan-bw5zh]

So many Ateez songs could be on this list they are all very high, vocal heavy, with intense choreography and even the technically easier somgs like Crazy Form require unusually good stamina to get through.

[@Bananin545]

hybe will never enter this category with the quality of their vocalists and short and easy to sing songs

[@insxmniac_54]

I mean.. except for some groups. idk too much about bts but they r pretty good and also seventeen (but ig we count them as pledis) txt and enhypen are pretty good but js not on the level of the people on this list I half agree with u

[@manogaming6534]

Seventeen should be here But this guy is baised anyway lol

[@elijahvillegas1370]

Earlier BTS songs, Gfriend (past Hybe group), and Seventeen are some who have harder songs to perform. Vocals, dance, synchronicity, and stage presence.

[@Bananin545]

@@elijahvillegas1370 All of them were formed before the creation of hybe

[@elijahvillegas1370]

@ That doesn’t take away the fact that they are or were Hybe groups. You’re just looking at the present groups.

[@TiareOyarzunCaravantes]

Halaziaaa!!! the dance only it's imposible, i can't imagining singing at same time

[@colob-scoupsy]

Seventeen intense dance choreo + vocals are hards than other grpup for me they king of sync like getting closer, dont wanna cry, hit, thanks, etc.

[@lolitableu9482]

Sorry for you but exo are in ather level you have to chack exo concert

[@Singingtater24]

​@@lolitableu9482 I used to be an EXO fan and am now a Carat. This person is so right. EXO is great and may be on par with Seventeen, but they're not better in my opinion. Certainly not "on another level."

[@b.j786]

Cream soda live is more scary and unbelievable to be performed this perfect by Exo I still remember when a younger idol said why Exo are moving this fast imagine singing perfectly while doing that kind of dance LIVE 😂🎉

[@haoskydreams-wp2hl]

I'm sad zhang hao's mic wasn't working in that one performance

[@exolovebambibambi1763]

BAEKHYUN "cry for love" is also very difficult song

[@Yuju-l6q]

It's the entire Bambi album for me. All I got is glorious with the high notes
