Time Stamp: About the same day as my Itzy opinion
Lip synching isn't bad, as long as it isn't overdone or used as an excuse to not sing
I feel like everyone has a different view on this topic, but personally I don't mind it as long as it's not done permanently or used as an excuse to not sing. Being an idol in the industry is extremely hard. Not only do you have to train and look a certain way, but you are also expected to be good performers and have good stage presence. Though sometimes that can be hard for idols because not only are they trying to sing and rap, but they also have to perform hard choreographies that make them tired. In addition, they perform multiple times over a 3 week promotional time for new comebacks to get their music noticed and put out there. When they are promoting it's usually one song (sometimes two) over the time period of about 3 weeks, but if a group has a concert or world tour they are consistently performing their songs which gets tiring after a while. Since they are consistently performing of course they will potentially lip synch a part or so just so they can preserve their voices for the next performances which honestly isn't a bad thing. I understand after being part of the Kpop community since 2017, that idols have an enormous amount of pressure to perform well and if they don't people are always quick to say something especially if they notice someone lip synching. I don't believe it's a bad thing because so many artists worldwide have done it multiple times before and no one cancels them too much because they understand it's hard to sing while dancing and performing other acts. What I do have a problem with is when people over-do lip synching or use it as an excuse to not sing. I think it's very unprofessional to do it every performance but if you need to do it lets say once because your voice is going to be strained or potentially damaged, then lip synching is fine but you shouldn't use it as an alternative way to get out of performing every time. Please don't send hate whenever it happens within the community because they go through a lot with back to back stages and constant performances. Instead, please just send love to the idols and respect the fact that it's hard to balance vocals and dancing at the same time.
