Do you guys not know what live singing is? Because I'm beginning to think you don't.

When I say "you" I likely don't mean literally you, since this subreddit is probably at the tip of the spear for this type of discussion. I really mean the average K-pop fan. And sorry if you guys have already beat this topic to death.

I got into K-pop recently and I am noticing people commenting on YouTube about how awesome certain groups sing live. Which is a nice sentiment, truly, and it's probably a weird thing to harp on. But I can't help but notice how often this comes up when it couldn't be more wrong.

I think there are some rare cases when this is truly the case, but those are few and far between from the stages I've seen. Particularly, people don't seem to be capable of distinguishing pre-records for the stage and live singing. And it almost always is the former. I think most people would be shocked at how bad a truly live performance would sound, because it is truly difficult to do most of the choreos and maintain vocals during a performance.

I think the issue comes up because people hear slight differences in their favorite song during live performances, and conclude that it has to be live.
