True it's so amazing they can even sing with that kind of choreo. They do sing completely live if the dance is light. I don't want them to strain their voice so much.

[@nurinnadzrah4146]

Brittany Bennett first of all, there’s not that many amerians singers who dance like really dance. Second of all, you’re not a fan. You don’t know how kpop groups work. We do. You’re the one who don’t know the context of these clips. It might be the beginning of a song but it doesn’t means it is a first performance.

[@Jamfullife]

Idols aren't technically classified as singers in the kpop industry. Some of them *are* vocalists and singers, but they're also rappers, dancers, models, and actors. Dancing, rapping, and appearance along with singing is used to create an income and get brand deals. It's only in more recent years that kpop has become more focused on creating unparalleled performances, and pushing idols to become high class vocalists. So, most idols use backing tracks because 1. their performances are *exhausting* and they want them to be able to last an entire performance/concert and 2. because they aren't held to the same standard as normal singers are because technically, that's not their job. Of course, kpop has a huge number of amazing vocalists, and many groups at this point are singers, but idol does not equal singer, especially not to koreans

[@bugu7323]

yeah each group at least have 1 amazing singer but the rest of them either rapping,dancing or just stand there and look beautiful lol

backtracks are sometimes necessary because the idols probably dance to a performance in the same day or are just dancing in general. so in order to provide support for their breathing whilst dancing they use back tracks. honestly im not phased by it since they still show an amazing performance.

What's funny is, when EXOs messed up, they recognize it and laugh on stage and even bullied by other members right at that moment even it's live😂😂😂 And i think they use backtracks coz KPOP groups move too much in their performances. They dance alot, apparently, they lose their breath.

[@taijini6312]

Love EXO

[@angelafaye3829]

In some of these live performances, sometimes it's not up to the singer to even have a backing track but their label or the music show staff. I've seen a couple occasions when the singers have asked the staff to turn it off (even subtly mid-performance), but the backing vocals were kept on anyway. But, it is true that they'll have something playing in the back of some performances to help support the vocalist while dancing choreography.

[@faith4858]

Hello I love you videos ^^, the only reason they have backing tracks is because they are doing heavy choreography during their songs, they only have backing track in certain parts as their voices need to be supported because they have been breathing heavily, I'm obviously not a vocal coach so I don't know everything about it, but most of these groups of already done six or seven songs full Choreo beforehand, even though they're standing still now, there still exhausted.

[@abbiea1237]

Actually the first clip was when he had a severe sore throat after just finishing several concerts to start off their tour and also appear almost back to back doing the comeback award shows! This was an annual award show that followed so they had to attend and perform even with his so bad sore throat. The next day when they appeared on a tv show Jimin ended up having laryngitis so when he was required to do a cutesy aegyo he sounded like a frog instead! This clip is shown all the time! The backstage where he is all upset from Burn The Stage actually was only just a few days later during their first stop of the tour in Chile! Jimin was all upset because his throat was still sore he was still sick and he really wanted to his best and felt bad! This had nothing to do with insecurity, just feeling bad because they hadn't been to Chile in a long time and he wanted to give them a good performance! When other members get sick and have a sore throat and feel bad about it and even cry nobody ever says they're insecure when seen crying! I find that strange that when Jimin is upset all of a sudden he's insecure! Also that other time shown in this vid, was only a practice before the live New Year's Eve performance anyway. Jimin even laughed about it!!

[@harunakiyoko5395]

They aren’t just singers, they are also dancers, entertainers and much more meaning that they aren’t focused on just singing! They have so much to think about when performing such as their vocals and dancing! The reason why they have backtracking is because they get tired while dancing and start breathing heavily! This causes their vocals to go down a little but as I have said, they are entertainers and so they have to make sure their audience enjoys the performance and that’s where backtracking comes in to make sure that the audience are happy! If they didn’t have to dance then they wouldn’t even need backtracking! I hope you take this into consideration while speaking out your opinion of them!

The backtrack is not up to the idols, but the company (some put more, some don't) and TV channels/shows. Some put the backtrack way to lower (because they just prefer the performance, specially the dance, and not really a live vocal performance), but in other performances on the same week and song you can see them sing perfectly live. We can't do much about it

3:19 ain't fair she was sick

[@abigailgonzalez6078]

The reason that they allow backing tracks to be so loud is that idols never rest their voice. Or anything at all. Idol schedule: 6:00am: go to stylist 10:00am: go to music show 12:00pm: rehearsal 2:00pm: 2nd rehearsal 4:00pm: camera rehearsal 8:00pm: actual show starts 9:00pm: show ends Maybe they get to their company at like 12:00am 1:00am: practice until they have to get ready to go to the stylists again. Sometimes they get to sleep for like 2-3 hours after practice if their company thinks they’re doing well enough to sleep. When idols go to music shows, there’s a lot of waiting time because everyone gets three rehearsals and there lots of things going on behind the scene like building sets, staging, lighting, prepping mc, camera work, scheduling and planning. Idols are obviously not involved in these things so they have to wait but, they can’t even sleep because their face will swell and “look ugly on camera”. When they don’t go to music shows, they go to variety tv shows, have their own reality tv show, and go to radio shows. Not to mention if their diet makes them feel tired or if they get sick. This is why even though they’re talented enough to to sing these glory notes, they can’t. They are too tired. Their voices never rest because they’re constantly singing, talking or screaming because of the crazy things they do on tv. Being a singer and being an idol is completely different. Most singers can probably rest their voices before a performance. Idols can’t. Idols’ main purpose is to perform to entertain not to show off vocal skills. It’s might be sad but it’s the reality. Some groups don’t have to work this hard and things are changing for the better for them but, unless the idol is from a big company with lots of power and they are their best group or their company is nice, it’s pretty much guaranteed that idols will work like this.
