I was reading some the comments on Youtube under f(x)'s performance of Red Light. I noticed that where were a lot of talk concerning f(x) not/singing LIVE. More talk than usual. Some were saying that MC was banning lip syncing and pre-recording. I googled it and this is the article I found.

Read Here.

So apparently MBC has banned lip syncing. They claim that about 10-20% of artists lip sync on their show. I guess to minimize the numbers they are banning it..

Here's why I think this is B.S.

As a fan I don't want my biases passing out on stage trying to bust a move one second and then sing a high note in the next. Take Jonghyun for example. In Everybody there was that high note. Imagine him singing that high note several times a day while doing that intense choreography. Let's then move to Exo which everyone seems to be targeting. Their dances are difficult. Every single one of them. Do you honestly think D.O and Baekhyun have the strength to sing and dance. Their health is on the line here. These sunbaes will end up like Onew having throat problems.

I am defending and supporting lip syncing. Why?? Not only because of the preservation of the vocals but because of the politics of what is Kpop. I feel that the only reason MBC is banning this is to stop the spread of stigmas to the worldwide audience. To show people who only criticize Kpop claim they are untalented dolls who parade around in fancy costumes to prove themselves. I feel like they are trying to prove to that they are talented. And to do that for that reason only is B.S. Non-Kpopppers don't even watch performances that much anyway. And if they did I doubt they'll say "OMG why are they lip syncing?!"

I am angry a little bit. Why?? Because this whole thing is hypocrisy. It was the industry in general who put idols on a pedestal and made them appear that they are perfect human beings. I feel like companies think in order for my groups to succeed they must have pretty members. They must have visuals talented or untalented to become popular. I can count several "faces" who aren't capable of singing live. It's not their job. Their job is to be in front and be pretty. It's a sham really. "I want you to sing live but I support visuals in groups" Such hypocrites..

Lastly, this new rule won't prove a thing. The last thing music shows would allow is a bad performance. Say for instance Exo or f(x) sing completely live with no backup track and tear it up. They won't air it and if for some reason they did the same people who were complaining about the lip syncing will come back and talk about their voices or wonder why the choreo is so watery because they can't overexert themselves with doing both full out. And 95% of the time Live isn't even Live anyway. There's backup tracks for even groups like Big Bang and 2NE1.

MR Removed is B.S. Why?? How can you separate music from vocals if the vocals aren't Live??

The Kpop industry doesn't need to prove their talent to anyone. Those douchebags who keep complaining about SM lip syncing you go out there and see how it feels. How tough it is. I bet you won't even last a minute. There are some amazing singers in Kpop. That's a fact.

FIGHTING!!
