As a performer, Bang Chan shares his perspective of live singing, backtrack, pre-recorded vocals and autotune using Stray Kids as example

Quote from kidsgonestray

I love when Chan gets real. He’s not afraid to call out misinformation.

And that's why he annoys K-pop stans on twt. Informative king

Quote from SooYoung

the fact that he called them out on a video who "analyzed" some of their videos

only prove that kpop fans like to act like professional who know everything just based on what they see but in fact they know nothing, the only people who know the real truth are the singer and people around them during the shoot

Especially when using it to drag groups and their skills. They really think they are doing something.

Quote from YouChanDoThis

I'm glad he did this. Not only because those antis can now stay pressed, but it also taught me a lot too. I know little to nothing in terms of the technical side of music/singing/dancing/rapping/producing and so on. Now I know there is a difference between tune and autotune, that they lip sync in the music videos (but it's because they have to), that in some cases, they may tune things before it is released if it is not live and stuff like that. I now feel so much smarter. Have a great day/night!

Why are you always so adorable?

Quote from unbannBLACPINK

very insightful

it makes sense of course

but regardless, MR is often SO loud in kpop, it takes over most of the song and I wouldnt call the result as "live vocals" evne if the singers are trying their best to be heard

This bothers me a lot too. There were times I've listened idols literally screaming in the middle of the song, because they want to be heard live, but the backtrack is too loud.

Quote from ISaidISaid

The part about the performance having many cuts while filming and having a recorded live vocals for that is the most common form of lip sync in kpop. Personally I just watch those for the dances. For live vocals, I only like ones where it’s one take. Like in concerts.

I also prefer live vocals in one take to appreciate them, from a viewer's perspective, because our experience is different from who is performing.

I think, as a performer, he feels confortable on the stage to sing live many times in a certain location (like a music show, for example), even If the final result is different for a viewer, because of the broadcast editing.
