҉ Official Unpopular Kpop Opinions Thread ҉

It weirds me out when someone says that a male idol looks ‘hot’ or ‘sexy’ when he’s angry, like no he doesn’t?? Nobody looks ‘hot/sexy’ when they’re angry. I’ve never in my life would ever think like that about a male idol. I also bet that almost none of you (most if not all kpop stans) would ever say that about someone you know irl.
At least to me, they just look scary when they’re angry/mad and I personally don’t like seeing it.

Y'all say iz*one's japanese songs have terrible mixing but they actually just don't autotune the sh¡t out of the voices.
Even shows like Masked Singer have autotune in them, or in some other stages they put only the backtrack in their official yt channels, so things like LeSserafim's case happen (they got accussed of doing the same as Wonyoung and Leeseo but in the fancams you could clearly hear that they were singing live). First it happened with western pop, when I heard Taylor Swift's voice for the first time I was really impressed because it sounds so different without autotune or any other voice treatments. Now it's happening with kpop, even Solar gets autotuned (yeah she hits all the notes), and we're so used to it that when songs don't have autotune 1. the members get criticized for "poor" vocals or 2.the production team gets criticized for not "mixing well".
What makes iz*one's japanese songs sound poorly mixed is the absence of the mixing feeling autotune automatically creates. Autotune creates a feeling of stability, and as instumentals in music are tuned and autotune perfectly tunes voices, the perfect tuning creates a sense of combination, which for non-masterers/mixers can sound like good mixing.
