South Korean netizens immediately began to talk about SM Entertainment artists who did not sing live at music events shortly after the Aespa Lipsync excitement at the Korea University Festival.
Currently, South Korean government regulations in the midst of the corona virus pandemic have indeed been relaxed. One of them is the permitting of concerts as before and the presence of spectators at music events.
Recently, a series of popular singers also filled festival events at famous South Korean campuses. aespa became one of those who enlivened the spring festival at Korea University.
Unfortunately, Aespa actually reap oblique comments because of their appearance. aespa was judged to be the only one who didn't sing live or lipsync compared to the other guests. This is considered very disappointing.
Shortly after the aespa performance at Korea University, Knetz discussed artists under SM Entertainment who didn't sing live on music shows. Knetz feels that this is starting to happen in 2020 where they are more likely to use Live AR or live singing recordings.
Knetz talks about SM Entertainment artists who don't sing live on music shows
"Since the end of 2020, the proportion of live music performances has almost disappeared," said the uploader and then gave the SM Entertainment logo. "From around 2020, including singers who were originally good at live, the singers on their music program have almost switched to lip syncing, so the reaction is they don't know why. + It's been said that some solo stages or ballads are done live (Aside from a few people: Wendy, Kyuhyun, Suho, Onew, Ryeowook)," he explained.
Other Knetz were also surprised by the use of Live AR. The reason is, it doesn't mean that these artists can't sing well.
"To be precise, it became very rampant in late 2020," said one Knetz. "I agree this is a bit strange. All other agencies want their artists to sing live, but SM does the opposite," said another. "Yes, even SHINee and Tae Yeon will lip-sync on music shows so it's not that their artists can't sing live," said another.
"My idol has amazing vocals and it's a shame we can't see his live appearance on music shows," said another. "I believe lip syncing is a disgrace to K-pop," explained another. "I absolutely hate live AR," said another. "Most of them sing live at those events," said another.
Meanwhile, the use of Live AR itself is not only done by artists under the auspices of SM Entertainment. Many artists at other agencies also decide to appear with lipsync live AR at music events. (wk/alpha)
