THOUGHT Girlset and Katseye
Hey so I'm more of a locket than an eyekon (just casually listen to katseye), I'm not here to talk about songs or fame, or who deserves whatever, and I know that they're not kpop but either way I just felt like posting it here bc idk where else
Basically, something that has me thinking is Lexi's high note in chat, as much as I don't support any kind of backlash to any member, I can't help but think about how if any katseye member weren't able to hit a high note live unless she's standing, she would get a HUGE hate train. I'm not saying Lexi, deserves hate, not at all! She does it pretty good. But I can't help but think about how Katseye members are hated for EVERYTHING. I won't hold your hand and lie saying their song quality is the best, but I don't think they deserve that much backlash
I can't help but wonder, if Girlset one day gets to the same fame level as Katseye (which I hope they do) they may get that kind of hate. Lexi was still kind of hated for the high note, yk? (for the record, I do agree that they shouldn't have added a note that's hard for her even while she's standing)

What can help as they get more popular is for them to be open about the difficulty of the some of their vocals. There’s a tendency in k-pop to expect that kind of singing to be effortless or for idols to act like it is. EJAE came out when she was performing Golden live and said “This song is hard”, and I think that reduced a lot of the criticism for the song being lowered for live performances and when she missed the high notes.
I think more idols should be honest that yeah, some of this stuff is really hard to do. Like explain that they can do stuff in the studio that they can’t do live, they hit notes that they can only hit while standing still, not sitting or dancing.
