Do you care about vocals in kpop?

Do you?

I hate autotune of that's what you're asking about

i like sm groups but i also don't care if my faves lipsync or don't have good vocals like sm groups.

Yeah

Yeah the people have to sound good on audio at least. how else am I supposed to listen to songs without my ears hurting

Yeah

yes, at least their voice doesn't' sound annoying in my ears

Not particularly. I'm into kpop because of the performances and concepts more than anything else. I love the dancing, the (oftentimes crazy and outlandish) costumes, the music videos...

That said, idols should manage to get through a live performance or encore without sounding like a herd of dying goats. I just don't expext them to be these incredible, outstanding vocalists on par with Mariah Carey or Freddie Mercury.

Yes. I love talent.

I love masterful vocals, extraordinary dancing and inspired rap.

I can really enjoy performances of those who've mastered their field and can show the difference it makes.

yes. i stan sm acts

I'd say 80/20. Im not expecting every group to have great vocalist but decently enough that when you live sing, you can hold a note and not out of tune. The other 20% is if they don't have great vocal, at least they should be able to perform well in dance choreography.

YES

disclaimers:

a bad song with superb vocals is not enjoyable

a good song with bad vocals is not enjoyable

Yes I do

If nct fixed sticker for me then the answer is clear

Yes they matter

Yes. If the vocals aren't good there's no point in listening.

i don't expect idols be as good singers as singers that don't dance and focus on singing, however I do want them to sing live at least 25% of the time and be able to sing their own songs while just standing/singing

Absolutely yes. My fave groups, I must say, have all been good vocal groups. Mmm and majority of SM groups boast good vocals. I enjoyed songs that are layered with seasoned vocal works regardless if they're popular songs or not. I absolutely abhor bad vocals tbh. There is this one girl group I can never get into for all these years because their voices sound like struggling ducks to me even in studio version. Don't get me wrong, I respect that people think they're lovely and are charming and that's one of the biggest factor why they're popular. But I don't listen to their charm when I put my headphone in my ears, I listen to their voices and to how their vocals sound like. They just never hit the mark for me where I personally think it matters the most for singers. They're just, in my honest opinion, vocally bad. Vocals matter the most to me.

YES

Yes, they're singers after all. Their singing has to be at least enjoyable. But I do enjoy flexing vocals.
