SMA Live Singing

I watched SMA and im suprised to see how many groups performed live. Of course there were idols/groups who obviously lip synced, but when they were singing live you could really distinguish them from the backing track. SMA seems to do minimal post-production editing and i hope more award/music shows adapt this type of mentality (im looking at you msnake).

Quote from keaji

Most important: we should respect that they sang live and if they were out of breath or slightly out of tune at certain points, that is completely logical, it's insane they can even sing while doing all that choreo (because i've seen some people making some comments on twitter...no wonder companies or programs want lip-syncing, since people want everything perfect...).

THIS

I saw some clowns on twitter dragging jongho because of his voice crack in utopia. A voice crack doesn't automatically mean the idol is a bad singer. You should just take it as proof that they're singing live. I honestly don't blame idols for not singing live because they seem to get dragged either way.

Kpop stans complain about idols never singing live than proceed to bully them when they do. They are humans. They are gonna be out of breath, off tune and have voice cracks (especially when they have difficult choreo on top of it). That's just how human anatomy works. They are not supposed to sound like the studio track.

ITZY mic’s were on and despite their intense choreography I appreciate them singing live for majority of their performances.
