Why would they choose this as their career if they're not good at it?
The answer is obvious. Popularity. Money. Applause without substance. And for that alone, no one should be blamed for criticizing idols like this. Especially when they come from the Big 4. These companies are drowning in money. Resources are endless. Good vocal trainers exist everywhere. Hire them. Outsource them. Pay for them yourself if you have to. And yet, some idols do nothing. Absolutely nothing.
That is what really gets me. The complete lack of effort.
Maybe it is the fans. Endless praise. Forced hype. Applauding every disaster until improvement becomes optional. Years pass. Time moves forward. But instead of growth, there is decay. These groups make millions from music and album sales, and I am supposed to accept that some of them still cannot hit the right notes? It is tragic.
Experience builds skill. Repetition creates mastery. And yet these idols, after years on stage, still cannot sing properly while standing still. That is where my respect disappears.
I know kpop has never been purely about vocals. I understand that. But if you are selling music, then at the very least it should sound decent. I am not asking for Beyoncé. I am asking for the bare minimum. Competence. Effort. Progress.
So yes, they deserve criticism.
This does not mean I support hate. But let us stop pretending honest commentary is cruelty. If someone says, "XX sounds like a dying goat", maybe that is harsh. But if it is true, then maybe the problem is not the words. It is the performance.
