HYBE Idol’s Emotional Response to Criticism of His Vocal Skills

In their recent “Coachella debut”, the members of HYBE girl group LE SSERAFIM sparked controversy due to their poor live singing skills. The 5 girls’ “disastrous”stage performance received heavy criticism from both Korean and international netizens, leading many to label it as the “shame of Kpop”.

Despite being the subject of criticism for its perceived lack of proper training regimes, HYBE faced further backlash when other artists signed under the company, including LE SSERAFIM, were also criticized for their live-singing abilities.

Despite the criticism surrounding the skills of idols from HYBE, talented idols still manage to garner attention and spark discussion among netizens.

Recently, there has been a lot of buzz on Korean forums surrounding the topic of a male idol who breaks down in tears every time he releases an album, due to his belief that he sings poorly. This male idol is none other than SEVENTEEN’s main vocalist Dokyeom, also known as DK.

His powerful voice, high vocal range, and skill in mastering difficult notes have earned him fame.

Despite their extremely busy schedule, SEVENTEEN manages to make 2-3 comebacks per year while also composing and producing their own music, and even contributing to choreography. As a result, the group members frequently collaborate during the recording process.

The 13-member group is split into 3 smaller units, which consist of the Vocal Team, Hiphop Team, and Performance Team. One of the key vocalists in the Vocal Team is DK.

Despite his talents, DK holds himself to high standards. According to the members, DK practices singing constantly and in any location, always striving to improve and fearing that he may not meet his own expectations.

Woozi, the member in charge of composing and producing music for SEVENTEEN, shared that Dokyeom often sheds tears during album recordings due to his perfectionist nature. Despite receiving numerous praises for his singing, he remains critical and always strives to do better.

DK’s unwavering commitment to perfection and professionalism has garnered a great deal of praise. Despite the ongoing controversy surrounding LE SSERAFIM’s singing skills and the reactions of Sakura and Kim Chaewon to criticism, the public cannot help but make comparisons.

Listed below are a few remarks from internet users:

A singer should possess these qualities.
Singers need to sing well and try hard instead of making excuses
He’s already good and yet still attending vocal lessons amid his schedules… Can’t say the same to some other idols
Typically, skilled individuals are even more demanding of themselves.

SEVENTEEN’s DK, along with the other 13 members, are renowned for their hard work and dedication, even after being active for almost ten years. The group consistently aims to impress their audience with their mesmerizing performances, from intricate choreography to exceptional vocals that leave a lasting impression on even the most critical listeners.

Upon observing DK, who is managed by HYBE, netizens argue that HYBE should prioritize groups with a combination of talent and popularity, and prioritize enhancing the abilities of less skilled idols.
