1. BIGBANG
Big Bang, who is well known for outstanding musicality, shows top class performance through its concert. As Big Bang has tried many different musical genres, the set list of the group's concert has all kinds of music including hip hop, rock, dance, and ballad. The Big Bang members, who has a volume of experience in performing at concerts, know exactly how to communicate with fans through their performance. And of course, they have outstanding live singing skills.
2. PSY
Psy, who has created a fever all throughout the world with his hit 'Gangnam Style', is considered as No.1 concert performer in Korea. The energetic and passionate singer always drives audience crazy. He looks fat, but he's as swift as a swallow on stage.(In the flesh, he's smaller than expected) He pours everything he has into his concert, and he's proud of what he does. He sometimes sings encores for over an hour.
3. EXO
If idol groups are evenly matched in their singing and dancing skills, what determines their concerts' quality is production capability of kpop companies. SM Entertainment, home to EXO, is the biggest kpop company and has great production capability. I can't say EXO is NO.1 live performer, but its concert is the best quality because a large amount of money is invested into the production of the concert. You will be able to see high quality stage setting at EXO's concert, and the concert has a solid story line.
4. Girls' Generation
You're not a fanatical fan of certain kpop girl group but you want to make a special memory by going to a concert of one of kpop girl groups? Then, I recommend Girls' Generation's concert. As the girl group is a precursor of kpop girl groups who are active nowadays and its company SM Entertainment has great production capability as I mentioned above, you will be able to watch the most developed kpop girl group's performance at its concert. Girls' Generation's concert is a classic example of kpop girl group's concert, while the experienced members have good live performance and communication skills.
5. 2NE1
If you are a hip hop fan and do not like stereotyped performance of kpop girl groups, you should go to 2NE1's concert. The 4 members have outstanding live singing skills just like their label mate Big Bang, and they know how to electrify audience. Especially, CL, leader of the girl group, has a great stage presence and she always dominates a stage. I'm sure that she is NO.1 live performer among all the kpop girl group members. If you're a fan of cute and feminine style of kpop girl group's performance, lovely member Sandara Park will satisfy your expectations by showing a special solo performance.
Have you ever been curious about k-pop idols' microphones? Unless you are a professional, it’s difficult to know the details about the microphones. However, there’s a very simple way to make a guess at what kind of microphone your favorite idol star uses. Well, the way is to classify the microphones by their colors. Colors of microphones do not always mean everything, but like I said, you can at least make a guess at what kind of microphones those are. Flesh-Colored Microphone You might see the flesh-colored microphones frequently in various k-pop chart shows. Those are the basic microphones offered by the broadcasting company. People in the k-pop world usually call it "Band-Aid." The microphone is cheap, and it doesn't perform well. However, it doesn't matter because not a few incompetent idols depend on their AR and just pretend to sing live. Black Microphone The black microphone is not offered by the broadcasting company. If an idol group's...
"Do k-pop idols really sing live? It's not an easy question to answer because the answer to the question could be both yes and no. Well, I want to talk about details about k-pop idols' live performance on the stage. Have you heard about MR, AR, LMR, and LAR? If you get to know about these terms, you will be able to have a good understanding of k-pop idols' live performance." MR(Music Recorded) Basically, MR means instrumental accompaniment. Have you been to karaoke? MR is like karaoke music which doesn’t contain the sound of singer’s voice. However, there is no k-pop idol who uses such a clear MR, while all the k-pop idols’ MR contains sounds of their voices. Before performing their songs on k-pop chart shows, k-pop idols should make their MR, and the way how they make MR is to decrease the sound volume of their voices in original music, while keeping the sound volume of instrumental accompaniment as it is. So, to k-pop idols, singing to MR doesn’t j...

TVXQ As a k-pop journalist, I’ve been trying to find a way of deciding k-pop idol groups’ rankings more objectively. So I’ve asked several people in the k-pop industry for the objective standard to decide the rankings, and some of them gave me a hint about it. Well, what they told me was that I should apply different standards to boy groups and girl groups. EXO Popular boy groups usually have their enthusiastic fandom because most of their fans are teenage girls, and what people in the k-pop industry told me was the size of the fan base and the passion of the fans are factors to consider first when I decide k-pop boy groups’ rankings. Then, how can we express the size of the fan base and the passion of the fans numerically? Well, the size of the fan base can be measured by whether a boy group can hold a large-scale concert. The Olympic Gymnastics Stadium, the biggest indoor concert hall in Korea, can accommodate about 10,000 audiences, while just a few k-pop boy groups ca...
During the early days of BIGBANG’s career, the team was marketed predominately as a hip-hop group, but the 5-member group and G-Dragon went on to experiment with electronic music and setting it as the new music trend in Korea. And during the production for the collaboration album GD & TOP and his solo album, G-Dragon opted for a more hip-hop sound. As a musician, G-Dragon covers various genres of music. For example, G-Dragon incorporated a mix of dance, hip-hop, and R&B songs into “Heartbreaker”. And his second album, “Coup d'Etat” is noted for being an eclectic mix of hip-hop, dubstep, rock, electro, and pop. The more amazing fact is that G-Dragon’s music has not only highly artistic quality but also great popular appeal. That’s why he has been widely recognized as one of the best hip-hop musicians and k-pop idols. By covering a variety of genres of music and making musical materials which have great popular appeal, G-Dragon played a leading role in popularizi...
