IVE is going to be fine. They sing with at least a 50% volume vocal backing track.

I'm hoping it'll be a hand mic performance, they tend to go for a lower backtrack when they use hand mics.

Either way Starship seems to do a good job at setting them up to succeed and getting the most out of their abilities so there should be nothing to worry about.

Omg! This is still a controversy in Korea how many days later? It's Wednesday there!

Yeah it's actually incredible that there are still daily new viral posts on Korean forums. The worst part is that it will just start again next weekend even if it were to quiet down. It's really gotten out of hand.

I worry for the members, especially since they are performing again. The pressure must be out of this world.

no, all this could’ve been prevented if they’d just turned up the backtrack like everyone else with a brain did

You are correct. 98% of kpop stages with live vocals use a louder backtrack than what they had. It allows them to skip singing when necessary and not go out of breath. Their actual vocals would sound better even in a MR removed if they had a louder backtrack, just because they would change their strategy for singing. With a backtrack this low they'll be pressured to sing every line whereas the norm is to skip lines or parts of lines. They ended up skipping lines only when they went completely out of breath and at that point the vocals have already suffered a lot.

You've seen it in the fancams, they sounded better because the backtrack was louder at the venue. It honestly could even be a mistake by Coachella, they obviously did a soundcheck at the venue but maybe the mixing was messed up for the livestream.

It's really the companys fault for putting them in this situation, they should understand what the members are capable of and how to achieve the best performance quality. It's honestly shocking that it's so obvious to mere peasants like me but one of the top companies can mess up it up.

They still would have gotten some hate for the loud backtrack but probably 90% less and it would have calmed down very quickly because you can just write all that off with "everyone does it" which is true.

Now the problem is that the controversy has completely blown up to ridiculous proportions and the response will probably be bad no matter what they do.

The It's Live and radio live performances made me dislike it a lot less and I ended up listening to the album because of that

I don't think I can ever get over the chorus though

I always forget to DiveTaglist

Out of this set my favorites are Leeseo & Liz

12 photos again

there's so many for this comeback

Quote from catzi

Omg? What a slay

Yeah I like them even more than yesterdays concept photos. Leeseo and Rei are my favorites out of this set.

Is the "SWITCH" from witches to magical girls

Well these are very different from yesterday

DiveTaglist

Edit: they deleted one and reposted it for some reason

I really wanted to hear the highnote without any kind of post processing, I was NOT disappointed.

This group is really starting to win me over. Now give them an actual good song.

I don’t think the gap between new jeans and IVE is very big in Korea and I don’t think there’s a clear #1 in Korea.

Oh no what have you done everyone hide

Quote from killthisfenty

This is their best concept photos

So far they seem great. I'm surprised we got all members right away since there's a total of SEVEN concept photo releases.

DiveTaglist

I think they could've just turned up the backtrack a bit more and the response would have been far better.

I don't think there is any shame in doing that at all when there's intense choreo in the performance. I'm not sure why the company would choose to emphasize their weakest area as much as possible when they're very strong elsewhere

I still liked the performances and I respect that they went for it. They'll improve at live singing when they tour.

Quote from killthisfenty

But it’s a Wednesday release

Yeah wouldn't make any sense for an English release

Going with the 2nd theory: It's a 2nd version (song, mv or both?) of the title track. Hence the SWITCH

2nd MV being for an English song makes sense

How the f do you go from masterpieces like Rollercoaster and Catch the Stars to D-tier generic newjeans copycat song #312

Never thought I'd be voting flop for woo!ah!

So you want her to act like a 13 year old or it's fake?

Quote from Chocolate-cheeks

aren't they on tour? Her schedule will be insane if this is true

This is a good point. I have no clue how this could ever work. They're touring until September and the next leg of the tour is Europe and South America.

The London concert is on June 16th. That's a Sunday so unless she has teleportation abilities she's skipping Inkigayo on that day. Either this gig is starting much later or she will be skipping some Inkigayos until September.

It's not that uncommon for an MC to be absent though, even for extended periods of time. Usually they'll do it with less people or there will be a replacement. It happens all the time.
