Is MNET evil editing again? BoysPlanet S2

I know that it's common for K-pop idols and idols in the making to sing demos of eventual releases (e.g. PURPLE KISS's Swan singing the demo for Chungha's "Snapping" or SNSD singing the demo for f(x)'s "Hot Summer") or even for idols to contribute to other idols' songs (e.g. Jonghyun writing "Pretty Boy" and "Already" for Taemin or CNBLUE's Yonghwa writing and composing parts of AMPERS&ONE's "He + She = We"). Have there been any instances where idols themselves (not dancers like Baek Koo Young or LA CHICA's Gabee) choreographed for other idols? submitted by /u/julianah819 [link] [comments]

Recently, I've seen a lot of comments criticizing Hwasa's performance in LA KCon. There's only a limited number of seats and most people don't live in LA, so naturally most people talking about Hwasa at KCon didn't actually see her in person. They saw her through clips on Youtube or TikTok or Instagram, or through other comments talking about her performance. So now people form ideas and conceptions based on those comments which were made by other people who only saw comments which were based on people who only saw clips or videos. I suppose I'm the same. I didn't go to KCon, but I did hear from friends who went in person and I saw the video of her performance. I also went to Hwasa's North American tour earlier this year, so I'm familiar with her stages. I've only heard positive things from people who were actually at KCon LA. Maybe this was just my friend group, but they all said that her stage was full of energy, the cheers were overwhelmingly loud, and they didn't notice or mind the moments when Hwasa was focusing on dancing instead of singing. I feel like in KCon, Hwasa did sing slightly less than usual, but that seemed natural given her current list of injuries. On her North American tour, because the cheers were so loud, Hwasa was constantly turning up her in-ears to the maximum volume and they actually exploded. She burst her eardrums, and now she is constantly hearing ringing in her ears and things are muffled in her left ear. And, because of this, now she has to turn her in-ears up even higher to hear past the ringing. Amongst other injuries, she also fractured her toe. Despite all this, she pushed through and completed her tour. When I saw her, I didn't even realize she was injured because she delivered such fantastic performances, singing live and dancing and interacting with the audience. People were cheering and chanting the whole time through. Similarly, it seems like people enjoyed her performances at KCon, so all the comments about "people wasted money to see her" seems a little out of touch, especially considering how most people go to KCon to see multiple performers anyways. If they enjoyed their time, who are we to tell them that they wasted their money? Mamamoo debuted 11 years ago, and they've delivered countless lively performances with spectacular live vocals through and through. If Hwasa is singing a little less in this stage because she is suffering a burst eardrum and hearing loss, then perhaps we should wish her a healthy recovery instead of nitpicking at her performance. But that's just my two cents :) submitted by /u/AlwaysNeedsMoreSleep [link] [comments]

Especially if they’re often the only ones or have few co-lyricists/composers/producers. There are a lot of idols who contribute to lyrics and composition but it seems fairly common for them to be last in the credits or have a lot of co-writers - or both! I’m interested in learning about individual idols that have their own recognisable writing style. This is easier to pick up on when it’s just them on the credits. So through this post, I was hoping to learn about idols whose name is usually listed first in credits for lyrics or composition when they write songs. So yeah, give me idols who are usually credited first, and if possible tell me a bit about their writing style if they have one! I already know about some obvious ones: Stray Kids - 3racha ofc but all the other members too - Hyunjin and Felix especially fairly regularly write lyrics alone or are first in credits for lyrics. I think it’d be uncontroversial to say that Han has the most recognisable style. I-dle - Soyeon ofc but I often see Minnie and Yuqi credited first on songs for both lyrics and composition. Additionally, I’m a once so I know the Twice members that write lyrics regularly are usually credited alone on Korean songs. I also know that Jihyo has been credited first for composition on all the songs she has a composer credit for. I think Jihyo and Chaeyoung’s lyrics have a distinct style that’s recognisable but I don’t feel that way about the others tbh. I also love BP so I know that they’ve all been credited first as writers on a lot of their post-YG solo tracks. For Huh Yunjin’s solo tracks, she’s usually first in the credits. Even if I’ve already mentioned the artist that came to mind for you, I would love to hear thoughts about how you interpret their songwriting styles! submitted by /u/spooky_biscuit [link] [comments]

I wasn't sure what the policy on "self-promotion" is on this subreddit, so I'm going to be upfront about it from the get go! This is not to promote my SubStack or ask for money for everyone — I simply want to get this out there because I want more people to talk about this with! So, everyone and their mothers have been talking about the similarities between 'Golden' and 'I Am' (amongst others) and just how similar they sound, lyrically and sonically. However, my literature-student ass has been sitting in just how different these two songs are on a lyrical level, and how important their key difference is: unlike 'I Am', 'Golden' lives not in the present but in a near yet unconfirmed future, and this is essential to understand when it comes to what the song means in the film. For those who are interested in a lyrical language analysis of both 'Golden' and 'I Am' in support of this claim (and yes, I tackle the Korean as well as the English!) I'd love if you would take a few minutes to read my SubStack essay I wrote about this at like 5am — considering my ADHD ass, I'm really proud of myself for completing this and getting it in the open!! I don't want your money and you're under no obligation to subscribe, but any comments and thoughts about the topic (and thinking more broadly!) would be really appreciated — either here in the comments (though this is a personal reddit account, not an official one!), in the SubStack comments, or a follow+DM on my Instagram would be amazing! For those who've read this far, thank you! Happy reading and I'd love to talk to more about you about this! And I'm a lyrical analysis fiend, so let me know if there's anything you'd like me to take a look at 😁 submitted by /u/gsc777_pkc [link] [comments]

These are some of my favourite voices in Kpop ever. Their voices have something that makes my ears feel heavenly whenever they sing. Voices, that are present in my before bed playlist. Of course there can be more but I only have them on top of my mind. What are yours? Do share. submitted by /u/Daddy1007a [link] [comments]

I feel like this is kinda obvious but it seriously pisses me off so bad. People actively complain about how everyone lipsyncs but they're part of the problem. I mean it's been a thing for a long time but now you'll see even the best vocalists lipsyncing most of the time. And to be honest I don't really care if they do it once in a while as long as it's not a concert and they do sing live as much as they can. The people who always find the smallest things to bring down idols/groups they don't like just so they can uplift their faves and who talk like they're knowledgeable in the field they're judging them on are the reason why no one sings live. They're expected to be perfect from the start and there's no room for small human mistakes. You can't really say you want live vocals then start calling them the worst singer when they made a mistake in one performance. Valid criticism is good but a lot of the time it's not good "i hope to see them improve" criticism, its just malicious and used as an excuse to bully them. Obviously that's no excuse for mediocrity they're trained performers and it is their job to perform but it's kinda ridiculous to say you want real then get mad it isn't 100% perfect all the time. I don't think the hatemail ppl send to kpop idols for not being the best vocalist in the world is the sole reason (i do think the obsession with all-rounders also kinda ads to it as well as other stuff) but it's definitely a contributing factor imo. submitted by /u/periwinkle-grey [link] [comments]

Probably everyone notice recent nagging about that k-pop doesn't sound the same like in the past. From what I notice generally there are two schools: one which claim it's not truth and these opinions are effect of nostalgia of older fans and second which blame "westernization". I personally agree that something has started to change in the k-pop sound but I see reasons behind that somewhere else. Simply "western" sounding song show more clearly change in recording and production philosophy in k-pop. That's why people think it's because of "westernization"despite fact that foreign producers were working for k-pop companies pretty much from the beginning of genre. I would start from good change: average quality of production rose. Thanks to k-pop boom in late 2010s (which probably peaked around 2022-2023) many smaller companies got investment letting them to work with good producers and music engineers. We can say that symbol of that should be Cupid's success but already debutant EP of Fifty fifty was shockingly well produced what many people spotted before their song went viral. But despite rise of quality there was something significant which started to disappear from k-pop productions. And that is artistic input of idols during recording. It's pretty ironical because we hear non-stop about more deep involvement of idols into production. There are much more self-producing, being involved into writing lyrics by idols etc.,etc. But when you listen to groups albums, you hear something contrary: it's very hard (especially to non fans) to distinguish who sing/rap what. Okay someone would say that it was always a thing of some groups. And that's truth but still in the past even such groups had few pretty characteristic whatever artistic or tone wise members who were clearly core of their production and where reason behind their "sound". Right now many younger groups don't have it and some seniors group sound like they lost it this characteristic element. So what caused this change? Well, simple answer is shortcuts on many levels of producting. Longer: Frstly change in planning group. In recent years we had multiple debuts and many come from big companies. There is no way that you can make k-pop group without shortcuts if you cut time of making group from let's say from 5 years to 3 something has to be sacrificed. Especially that pool of trainees naturally become smaller because of enormous competition between companies. And what is sacrificed is firstly tone balance between members and probably their artistic individuality (in case of groups bigger than 4-5). BigBang Daeaung said once that when 2nd generation idols debuted they thought that they would be in the groups for few years and go solo. But today in case of big companies it is financially lucrative for both sides to keep going beyond 7 years. So from perspective of business logic: does k-pop group really need member with big solo potential? Does someone like that become a bit more threat than lacking element to their business model? It's easy to scout Korean teenager who wants to solo artist to be a idol right now? And today everyone is touring definitely more than in the past (especially in case of GG change is drastic), some groups tour almost non stop. Do idols have time to spend more time in studio than simply recording finale version of song what we often see in this bts of recording videos? I don't think so, they don't work much directly with producers apart pre-debut. It's already pretty hard to make well tailored album for absent solo singer (still not impossible what best proof is Britney Spears Blackout) but for the group when you have to take into account couple of individuals? And k-pop groups already release albums much more often than average artist. But there is good shortcuts which is called in colloquial speech: autotune. You can adjust voices to sound similar. You can as well force idols to sing in the style which producers want and not necessary suit tone or artistic temperament of idol. Because it's better for company to bend song to producers' will than do many different takes with idols who could do cfs at that time. This way songs are much more approachable for general listeners. Because the beat is trendy and everything sounds like done by one person and familiar. But what disappear is uniqueness and distinguishable of sound of the group. And today taking shortcuts is much more practical choice because live singing has been minimalized in k-pop industry. Pretty much for rookies the only serious threat are encores which become rarer as again touring. So producers can less care whatever idols would be ever capable to sound the same live like in the recording. As they can never perform it live in reality. So why it's more obvious in songs with more English. Because non English natives are often more "autotuned" to make their pronunciations sound more "English" like. That's why mentioned by me changes become easier to spot in such productions. But there are still few groups in the market which has luxury to actually work in the studio with often in house producers. And you can clearly hear that their even fully English songs don't necessary sound so "western". Because even song with English can be well adjusted to members if their English pronunciation is not bad. submitted by /u/mio26 [link] [comments]
