Top K-Pop Groups’ Cover Of A BTS Song Hit With Brutal Criticism

A recent performance by a range of top K-Pop groups of BTS‘s track “Dynamite” has been hit with brutal criticism after the clip gained attention.

Recently, at Music Bank in Barcelona, the idols all got involved in a cover of BTS’s “Dynamite.”

Yet, it led to a wave of major backlash towards the idols from Korean to international fans. Many hit back at the poor quality of the vocals and how nobody could do it justice like BTS.

No, seriously, this is so fucking funny 😭
I was genuinely shocked when I saw this.”
Is this really what the future of K-pop is supposed to look like?

케이팝 망하는 이유 1순위는 보컬의 퇴화임 자기 노래 파트조각 하나도 소화못하는 자칭 가수들이 넘치는데 사람들이 노래소비를 하겠나 소속사들은 국가세금지원 부르짖을바에는 보컬레슨 연습이나 시켜라

The number one reason K-Pop is dying is the decline in vocal ability. There are tons of so-called singers who can’t even properly sing their tiny little parts of their own songs. Do they really think people are going to keep listening to their music? Instead of crying for government funding through taxpayer money, entertainment companies should make their idols take vocal lessons and actually practice singing.

You know kpop stans always act like BTS’ vocal line.aee terrible but I am yet to see anyone pull off the notes that they make and no, not the generic high notes that sm deceived them with
