BTS, ITZY recognized by Knet, aespa and BLACKPINK classified as "lipsync enthusiasts"?

Lipsyncing has always been a sensitive issue in Kpop.

Recently, Knet discussed the names that say no to lipsync according to each generation of Kpop. According to the topic of discussion, 2nd generation idols completely say no to lipsync. In the 3rd generation, BTS, BTOB, MAMAMOO, MONSTA X are typical names when choosing not to lip-sync.

To talk about top-notch live singing skills, BTOB and MAMAMOO are the top vocal groups in Gen 3. Meanwhile, BTS and MONSTA X are more performance-oriented, but not too prominent in terms of vocal skills. music, but always dedicate to fans with live performances that are eye-catching and pleasing to the ears.

Regarding 4th generation idols, Knet highly appreciates ITZY and STAYC. Although these two groups have not had as much time as their seniors, they soon scored with their authentic live performances, completely saying no to lip-syncing.

Many people expressed surprise about this list and added names that are also capable of singing live well and without lipsync:

- It's surprising that idols from small agencies lip-sync less than big companies.

- MONSTA X, especially the year-end stages and award ceremonies, they sing live so well... There are even videos of other singers reacting in shock to MONSTA X's voice.

- I watched MONSTA X sing live Gambler in the year-end show, the high notes of the main vocal were very strong. What's his name?

- GOT7, MONSTA X, BTS, Stray Kids, ATEEZ, STAYC. Those are the idols I know.

- SEVENTEEN, MONSTA X, Lovelyz, GFRIEND, MAMAMOO. They always perform live on their stage, their live singing skills are amazing.

Among the names mentioned above, it can be seen that very few idols from big companies SM, JYP, and YG appear. EXO, Red Velvet, NCT, BLACKPINK, aespa... are groups that are appreciated for their vocal ability but often lip-sync.

Recently, aespa was fiercely criticized for "shaming" Kpop when lip-syncing Savage on Nick Cannon Show and The Kelly Clarkson Show. Although the reason may be given to ensure the performance is free from mistakes, the audience always seems to want the most authentic vocal experience on stage.

In another development, recently, after many ups and downs, the Chinese entertainment industry has undergone major purges, while taking measures to correct and control the activities of celebrities as more and more many cases are considered to be morally corrupt, do not keep their image, famous for their scandals, ... At the same time, the Cbiz side also wants to eliminate artists who have no singing talent but still want to sing when they are not. published a new draft regarding the ban on lip-syncing.

Accordingly, the Chinese side will ban actors and will ban all lip-syncing acts of actors and singers in performance activities. The country will also not allow broadcasters or organizers to facilitate singers and actors lip-syncing.

If the behavior is tolerating actors, lip-syncing singers, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China will revoke the agency's domestic entertainment activity license and publicize the misconduct. If there is a deliberate act of non-compliance, they may even be banned from participating in all activities in the entertainment industry.

On the Korean online forum, Knet debated whether the Kbiz side should apply the same way as the Cbiz side - that is, it is strictly forbidden to lip-sync to deceive the audience, whether singers or actors. There are many people who do not like this approach of the Chinese side, thinking that this is too restrictive and that Korea should not imitate China.

On the contrary, there are also many Knets who don't like China but support the view that lip-syncing should not be tolerated because they think that acts of deceiving the audience should not be tolerated. According to Knet, today's Kpop idols, even if they lip-sync, are not obvious, but much more sophisticated with the Live AR form - lip-syncing that uses fake recordings like live singing.

Currently, Kpop idols have 2 performance forms, Live MR and Live AR. With Live MR, the idol sings on the record with only the sound of the instrument, similar to when we go to karaoke. This means that the idols will have to completely sing live to the music, but they will also be supported by backing-vocals (the backing is played quite small to support the singer when they need to create a highlight, or when they can't sing the low and the high at the same time).

Knet thinks that banning idols from lip-syncing is banning this revealing form of Live AR. They also frankly pointed out that the artists in YG and HYBE will survive because the artists in these 2 companies sing MR live. Meanwhile, SM and JYP as well as a number of other companies are mocked for often giving the theater chickens a lip-sync in the form of Live AR.
