Do any of these "artists" ever sing live?
M Plaza in Myeondong is gonna hold a Crayon Pop fan sign on Friday 13th, 8 o'clock.
Fuck me. I have to work AND attend one performance (at the same time) because one of the members invited me.
I'll definitely find a way to join this signing. Hope there's no surprise bullshit this time.M Plaza's Facebook page doesn't mention anything.

Most of the time, yes. Do you want examples, clips?

Most of the time, seriously? Even their concerts seem to be lipsynced.
I mean, I just came back from Osaka to watch Japanese act Perfume on tour and all but two songs were completely lipsynced. Not that that mattered. In long shows featuring lots of dancing some numbers will be lipsynced in general.
K-netizens dissect TV shows and digitally remove the backing track to see how much/well the singers sing live. Pretty ruthless if they don't.
Your blanket statements carry no value. "their". "them". "these". Who? There are a ton of artists of many styles in Korean pop. Name names and I can provide you with material.

Just take whatever videos are posted in this thread; 99% of the time it's obviously lip synced.
However I've noticed that when some groups perform, like SNSD, a few of the talented ones get to sing live, while the shitty ones like Yoona resort to playback. I thought that was interesting.
I just watched some concert by SNSD in Tokyo on Youtube. Basically everything was lip synced. The fans spend a lot of money to go see these groups perform, and they get smacked in the face.
You know your are obviously lying, why the trouble posting here? Do you know the difference between backtrack and lip sync? And I find funny you mentions to snsd and particularly Yoona, you have an obsession here.
You are watching an edited version of a concert in youtube. They perform about 30 songs and a handful of them are lip sync if many, the others are live. They aren't acoustic concerts, don't expect all singing to be live, that's why some parts have backtrack. To ignore this and then say everything is lip sync is just dumb.

In general tv appearances are done with a backing track and live vocals, and quite often lipsynced choruses for dance pop number. Same as in every country, although certainly a greater live percentage than something like AKB48 - not that there aren't talented members of that group either. There are certainly k-pop artists who are not very good at singing, just as there are outstanding performers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5rEad50fhI
Solo or girl group, boy group, same goes. It's just no use to generalize any scene.

Do you think it's acceptable that only 2 songs out of how many (~15?), are not lipsynced? It's a live concert for the fans, not some TV appearance. If it's too difficult to both sing and dance, then maybe they should cut down on the dancing.
In Perfume's case they've always done something more similar to performance, modern dance mixed with the spectacle of a Daft Punk pyramid show than a simple pop performance. The result is someting unique and I wouldn't want that sacrificed for more live vocals. In most cases when I go to concerts I do expect live singing though, yes. The only kpop concert I've been to, BoA, was sung live from the first song to the last with only a live band backing her.
plus individual stages makes their 1st Japanese tour.
Go watch some fancams as they have unedited sound.
Edit: full list http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_Girls'_Generation_Tour_DVD
huh? i followed snsd back then and their first japanese tour was entirely lipsynced.

Yeah I don't know what you're trying to say, it's all lipsynced.
So from a list you are saying it is lip sync, good argument, mr. Troll.
Korean songs weren't as well their individual acts. Probably most of Japanese songs were except the ones from the singles.
Their 1st Asian tour 2010 is well documented and there are tons of fancams, and here almost all were sung live.

Now instead I'd like to go back to your comments on Seoul and Korea, because people really should've put you against the wall on those. You went to Seoul and it wasn't Tokyo. Newsflash: It isn't Tokyo. Do you know what downtown Seoul looked like as early as 30-40 years ago? This is the central bank district in the 70s:

The changes that have happened to this city have happened with supersonic speed. With this sudden development as the country went from poorer than NK through dictatorships and finally democracy and the miracle by the Han in the 90s , how could it and why should it have the historic weight as a city that Tokyo has? Some parts will seem disjointed, some neighbourhoods more charming than others. The big changes are still happening, even if most of downtown is now shiny glass and metal. Some aspects are, as a result, better than in most cities, including Tokyo. The subway system is probably the world's best. In other aspects, naturally, Tokyo has the upper hand, because of course - it's been a central metropol for decades. Whether the nightlife is better, whether it's more fun there, is about personal preferences.
Now what pleasure did you take in observing this and turning the comparison of two nations into a fanboy thing? Nationalistic bigotry is unpleasant anytime and feels especially out of place blurted out unprovoked in a pop thread. You take this defensive, zealous LDP party view of your beloved Japan and have the nerve to call others 'koreaboo'? Others of us have indeed been to both Korea and Japan and manage to appreciate the differences and find things of value in both places.

If you have watched the concert DVD and if you have functioning eyes and ears, you will realize that it is lipsynced. I'm talking about the Japanese tour btw.
Are you trying to tell me that this:

No you see, the thing is I went to Seoul and it felt like a lesser Tokyo to me. In many ways, it felt very similar. And that's what disappointed me.
It's a meaningless, arbitrary comparison, and your way of presenting it, as well as the other comments on Korean culture, paints a picture of a bigot as well as a coward. I wanted to go for the ball first, since it's a k-pop thread, to see if you had any specific things to say, answers to counter-arguments, but general shit stirring was as far as it went and you didn't want or couldn't join in.

How was it? How amazing are the new songs live?
I had never seen that Younha performance. She is so good.
