why kpop groups don't write their own lyrics ?

I got some faves who write their own music and I got some faves who dont..

at the end of the day it does not affect me or my playlist anyway if they wrote it or not..

Also there is an actual profession called a lyricist who do this job if the artist isnt amazing at writing lyrics.. let them have their livelihood too lol

Going by this argument one can also say why dont kpop artists dont compose their own music or arrange it... why only lyrics are what you all bother with.. making a song is a huge process with several parts to it..

there are some idols who are great at all performing, writing, composing and arranging too but they are way less popular or nugus so it clearly shows people dont give a shit about this and only use it to brag when it fits their narratives

It is not that easy to get self-written songs to be produced. Many idols who write lyrics still get rejected by the company/producers for whatever reason. Even RM who has 170+ writing credits said some of his lyrics were rejected by BangPd as BangPd felt they were too childish. They only choose the "best"/ most fitting songs to fit the album and I guess many of their self written lyrics don't make the cut.

Because increasingly idols are Popctors (pop actors), their fame is due to their performance like with actors and not the content.

Nowadays the whole process is entirely assembly-line.

Composer - does the beat/music, there would be even a top-liner for the melody, then someone supplies the lyrics, someone else the choreo etc. basically like a movie.

But unlike movies, kpop still has an undeserved reputation of 'authenticity' that the idols are expressing their own experiences via art.

It used to be the case and there are still many who have that authenticity factor - who compose, write etc., G-Dragon, IU, Suga to name a few. But most others are only for the 'performance'. Popcting.

Sure they have singing, dancing skills, but that is rather peripheral to the presence.

But this is not limited only to Kpop, most commercial music industries have gone to this model. Even in the West it was the case of long until broken by Bob Dylan and the Beatles.

So now industries have a mix of Performers-idols and Artist-Performers, there are even people who only create and never ever perform.

Beethoven supposedly could not play any instrument. So a pure creator and not at all a performer. is the opposite of the idols.

Most of the audience do not care about the 'authenticity', so the model works, like with movies. The actors are not expected to write the story, script, screenplay, direct or manage the cameras. they just represent all the work done behind the scenes. But in that representation they can add value and humanity falls for the representation, than the substance.

Kpop is also like that.
