Kpop has low vocal standard now. But why?
In recent years, Kpop Vocal Standard has decreased noticeably and significantly. Especially this year, after Le Sserafim's questionable Coachella performance and encore stage, followed by ILLIT's controversial encore stage of "Magnetic". And some begin to question whether idols should know how to sing. From 2nd Gen idols' power live vocals to 5th Gen idols' unstable vocals, from being able to sing confidently on encore stage to feeling nervous and unconfident, from live singing to relying on pre-recorded tracks and lip syncs, what happened that led to Kpop idols' vocal skill decline? This video discusses the multiple reasons why Kpop idols nowadays have weaker vocal skills and are placing less emphasis on vocal training. It also discusses the role that K-pop companies played in this change, as well as that of K-pop fans. This decrease in vocal skill and standard is perhaps the biggest problem in Kpop now.
