I've always said even if you don't like BTS music I don't know how anyone can deny their incredible stage presence. Their first tour after they come back from the military is going to be huge. And I think live singing contributes a lot to being excellent performers, if you are lip syncing the performance becomes very robotic. If you are a singer, I think you should sing. Using backing vocals is okay because sometimes you do need to catch your breath especially when dancing, but I can't stand singers who 100 percent lip sync.
I think that when an artist is having fun and enjoys performing the song, it is very apparent in their performance. They are in their element and their confidence translates on screen.
recently attended yoongi's concert in LA and even if he isn't the strongest dancer in bts, his stage presence is out of this world. He can command the stage without even without choreography. I was a bit worried going in because of said lack of choreography but it was genuinely the best concert I've ever attended.
One component of stage presence for me is group dynamic. If members know and understand how to highlight each other equally throughout a performance, it's a big plus for me!
Right like when TXT had their act sweet mirage tour they're always so happy with each other, like the amount of times they've looked at each other and giggled or whispered to each other, it's truly seeing a group of best friends living their dream
Jungkook's stage presence is spellbinding. He entertains everyone with remarkable panache. His agility, mobility and dedication to his craft whenever he steps on stage is like no other. I've been watching bts perform for 6 years now, and after all these years now I understand why he's the centre. He's not an eccentric or different from any other performer, he is simply eminently keen to perform. He is aggressive, unrelenting and of course very ardent on stage. He has been my ultimate crush for 5 years and he still makes my heart beat like a drum to this day, and that's the same reason why he's such a sterling performer, he always puts the same amount of energy, enthusiasm and work in his performances. He never slacks off, he's consistent. The man is an institution
spellbinding wow, I don't use that word often but u are so spot on, that word is indeed JK onstage, u won't have the willpower to look away fr him... thank u, I so so love the way u describe him in this comment 💜
Honestly, Lesserafim and IVE's Yujin are the standards of stage presence right now, which is so surprising since most of the members are really young and some of the members did a whole different concept. I really love how they have improved and the praise is deserved.
My conclusions: - Jungkook can step on me as much as he fcking wants I’M NOT A SIMP THO, GEEZ. - You can feel BTS have fun on stage, like, that’s what others should be trying to replicate instead of their success but you didn’t heard that from me 😗 - I hate, despise, dislike how idols can’t have fun anymore on stage when it comes to an encore, like, flex them vocals too if you want BUT HAVE FUN I BEG, STOP CARING SO MUCH, YOU GOT AN AWARD AND WILL GET PAID BUT COMMENTS SCARE YOU??? NAAAAAAHHHHH GO GET BITCHES - I, like a lot of people, agree that minors shouldn’t debut so soon BUT Eunchae’s stage presence is just getting better, NWJNS too, I love the way they interact in “Ditto” performances, it makes me happy - LESSERAFIM best girls Bye✌🏽
Gonna shout out my main man j-hope for his stage presence as well, I know you’re a already a fan Taejiu. Flawless energy management, sounds like he eats CDs for breakfast, amazing dancing (obviously), and can match his facial expressions to whatever concept is needed. His Lollapalooza performance really showcased all of these attributes well, from starting with darker concepts to closing with a hopeful message while performing at 💯 the whole set. Love him.
I’ll never forget the absolute serve that was him just standing there while the audience chanted J-Hope! for like almost one minute. (Just Dance in Brazil for anyone interested)
Glad to see Yujin be appreciated, I feel like she gets overlooked a lot by the kpop community just because she’s in IVE and we know how people like to discredit them for everything. If she was in any other group she’d receive more attention the way you and everglow-up gave her, it’s well deserved. I also agree with the ‘hair’ comment about Chaewon, it sounds weird but it does make sense, it suits her first of all and it fits the concept, it allows her to embody the persona necessary. I’m glad to see the iz’one girlies do so well.
@@biazacha the fact that stardust has been ignoring liz's insane vocal ability, and gave her a few seconds worth of singing in their song "kitsch" is so weird.
It’s because K-pop fans have a hate boner with Ive and they’re threatened. As soon as they started winning the biggest awards and beating their favs, everyone switched.
@@yuenmienyu liz has second most lines in whole discography. you judging with a single song which isn't even vocal-focused song and neither a title track says a lot about how people treat IVE. many just hate them, rest of them pretend to care about them. IVE is such a sad case in kpop honestly.
That one 2019 LOTTE Family concert Jungkook's performance? Yeah that one. He became my bias since the moment I saw him. He really knows how to get someone into him, doesn't he? His stage presence is really Thee Standard!! True Definition of a Centre he is. Plus whole bts' stage presence is out of this world. Every member is unique in their own way. Love and appreciate them so much!
@@hannahm9212 it was a family concert and jungkook performed every song like his rent was due😭 even when he was in the side, out of people's focus and was waiting for his turn, dude didn't stop dancing and enjoying even for a second!
2019 lotte concert idol and mic drop jungkook fancam. nothing can top that. the stage presence, the energy, the dance and the live vocal is insane. i still specifically search for that fancam to enjoy it. it's always like the first time even if I watch it 100th time.
everyone talks about how much an amazing performer hoshi is, which is valid becase he is really amazing but i rarely ever people talk about dino. even in svt's fandom, not many people talk about dino as a performer, which is a CRIME. same as hoshi, he has amazing energy control, facial expressions are always on point, his live singing is consistently stable and he's just so fun to watch. i need people to start talking abt dino because he's just so good also shoutout to jun, chaewon, yunjin, yeonjun, jihyo and yunho who are some of my favorite performers in k-pop.
The people you listed are the ones I always think of when I think of stage presence 👌 I was surprised to realize how overlooked Dino is, I thought he would be one of the most popular members because of his overall skills, his energy is always at 100%
All I could think of when you brought up Jungkook always singing live was his live karaoke sessions he would do on Weverse live for literal hours. 😂 while intoxicated and still sounds amazing. He really is something else. I think Mamamoo also has great stage presence, they seem like they’re having so much fun and they really get that crowd interaction which to me matters a lot.
BTS has really got some of the best performers in kpop, period. J-hope's lollapalooza is still being talked about. Jungkook went viral in the middle east for Dreamers at FIFA. V's every performance fancam has gone viral. Jimin is literally the it boy of kpop. Agust D's tour speaks for himself for how good of a performer he is. RM, while not being a dancer still can pull off a world tour by himself if he wanted to. Actually, quite literally every member can pull off a solo tour if they wanted to, and that's why BTS are where they are right now. They have 7 incredible artists who happen to be best friends and in a group together
Not even trying to be biased but watching BTS performances from like debut days they had so much presences back then as well.. but seeing now you can definitely tell the more they trained their stage presences got even better !! Jungkooks facial expressions are always on point all of them actually
le Sserafim as a whole stole my heart with their stage presence, and I'm happy to see that they are still improving (esp kazuha has gotten better this comeback), and seeing Chaewon turn from the girl who no one thought would debut to one of 4th gens best performers is so satisfying. Sakura as well gained more confidence since izone, and it benefits a lot to her aura on stage. and yujin has been getting better and better since the ive debut. her I am and kitsch stages are very fun to watch, and she has so so much confidence, her facial expressions are so on point now. Her performing didn't really catch my eye back in izone, but now my eyes are glued to her throughout the performance, its magnetic.
Even if JK takes a "break" on other songs, I've noticed that he will absolutely sing his solos live no matter what. Great list and really enjoyed this video!
So happy you mentioned Jungkook’s My Time performance because that has to be my favorite solo stage from him ever. I was really sad I didn’t get the tickets for the online concert for the 1st day but I was overjoyed that I instead got D2 when he pulled up with this stellar performance. Watching him brought me to tears, he’s so passionate about what he does and I pray to whatever god there is that he will one day perform My Time in front of a live crowd in person because I would give anything to watch it. I had tickets for the MOTS tour before Covid and have been praying they bring the set list for it back because those solos and sub unit songs were some of their best. I saw them back in 2019 and Hobi took me away with Just Dance, you see him in videos and people talk about just how good of a performer he is but nothing compares to seeing him live. He really was born to be on stage, his energy is infectious and he really blew me away. With Tae I’m very biased (clearly) but gosh him in person is so unreal. You watch his fan cams and his expressions are so on point. Wether he’s center or in the back he’s always on. Of course everyone in BTS are incredibly talented on stage and you can tell their group chemistry off the stage has helped them immensely, they blend so well together. We’ve all seen those incredible synchronization videos of them but those 3 really do stick out to me after seeing them live. Thanks for another amazing video!
Yesss Dreamcatcher members stage presence is no joke! Each members shine in stage presence and doesn't clash with each other! And siyeon really fit Dreamcatcher rock metal horror confept! Her looks, vocal, stage presence and execution to choreo while adding her own personality here and there are top notch! Dreamcatcher are just underappreciated!
i'm so annoyed at how the kpop community has been ignoring them and their talents. i'm aware that rock isn't very marketable in kpop, but dreamcatcher are so underrated.
@@edvaedan9161 They still get very little attention and respect compared to similarly sized groups, which makes sense because they're a bit more niche but is just really evidence that kpop is absolutely not just skill-based (and DC has songs in pretty much every genre, so it's not even a genre thing).
I see Chaewon, I click. But forreal she's one of the BEST performers in kpop. Stage presence, facial expressions, dance, visuals she has it all. Also something KNETZ always mention is that Chaewon has a beautiful "dance line" which is like the way she positions her body and just the way she looks while dancing. 2 people can do the same choreo but look totally different in how they execute it. Chaewon always captures the mood with her body well. Plus she's able to adapt to any concept. She's done cutesy and elegant in IZONE, she's also covered quirky dances like in Catallena, and now she's doing fierce cool concepts in LE SSERAFIM.
Jeon freaking Jungkook! The dude is a beast on stage. His commitment to live singing really makes my respct for him increase every single stage. I had fully expected him to lipsync half the song or have heavy backing track for the Dreamers stage. Its a huge event and its would have been understandable if he did. But Nah! He sang his heart out even if that meant 1/2 minor mistakes. (Also, he learnt that choreo with hours to spare! Kudos to him!) He may not be "technically" considered among the top vocalists of kpop but he will ALWAYS execute a BTS/JK song to utter perfection. my favourite thing about him though is that he never turns off. When its not his singing part, he's still giving his 100% (interacting with crowd, throwing in adlibs, executing every step like textbook) but without overshadowing the member whose part it is. That's what makes him one of THE best centers kpop has ever had imo. (him and Jhope elevate every song by atleast 15% just with their adlibs. Goes to show how Present(pun intended) they are on stage at every moment) Every BTS member is amazing on stage but BigHit really hit Jackpot with that 13 yr old boy who thought RunchRanda was super cool😎 I love seeing yujin, yunjin, chaewon appreciation. They are easily some of the top performers of this generation and deserve all the love. Really appreciate this video. You may have added quite a few fancams to my to-watch list.
part of the reason why bts in general stand out from all the other kpop groups (no shade) and are so loved across the globe is because of their unmatched energy and stage presence when they are performing. i feel they have NEVER half assed a performance, be it for music shows, online performances or award shows. it’s a part of their charm.
Recently I went back and re-watched a ton of BTS performances over the years, concerts, award shows, music shows, festivals, even like random performances in a mall early in their career... and every single performance they were giving 100%. Even when their condition wasn't the best, or they seemed tired, or it's raining and windy, or they already performed for 20 minutes straight and they're literally dripping sweat, or it was a small unglamorous stage with an audience of non-fans... every single time it's 100% and I think that's one of the biggest reasons they have the level of success they do (along with quality music, talent, personality etc.)
Also the video where Jungkook is chasing Yoongi (don't remember what BTS was doing just remember how stable Jungkook was chasing him) like the way you hear the others but with how steady Jungkook was it was amazing
With you showing so many clips of Seventeen it just cements to me even more how amazing as a group they are at stage presence, they command the stage and transform it into their playground, teleporting you into a new story they tell though their choreography. Of course there are better dances than others for example as you said Hoshi who is incredible, but they all stand their ground and make such a cohesive unit that paired with their synchonization they move as one. It’s truly incredible what they do each time and how their master every style, they really are one of the best groups on the stage for me.
I think there's a difference between group stage presence and a single idol's stage presence. Groups like Seventeen, BTS, Ateez etc. have great group stage presence (regardless of which member charisma, if any, or has the best stage presence) while some other groups like Exo, GIDLE, Txt where one member stands out in performances because of their overwhelming stage presence in comparison to the other members. Also, I strongly believe that confidence (+ concept of the comeback) matters a lot with the majority of idols. If you're not confident in dancing for example, then you're gonna be blanking out in the face and maybe not thinking about your artistic expression. Meanwhile, if your more confident in your abilities, your more focused on making a show therefore you may be exuding better stage awareness and stage presence. (my first point is mostly informed by everglow up lol).
Yujin is just magnetic. My eyes are always drawn to her. She commands the stage every time she's on it! Chaewon, Yunjin and LeSserafim in general are such a fun group to watch. They have good chemistry and seem to enjoy performing, especially Yunjin. Great video, dude! I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on stage presence. 💜
Thank you for yujin appreciation. She's literally the one of the best all rounder idols in 4th gen and yet she's really underrated. It's pissing me off so bad just because she's from IVE (the most hated gg right now for no fvcking reason) and just because IVE's concept is elegant unlike most of the girl groups who has hardcore choreography, people started to talk shit about how weak performer is IVE. People literally forget that yujin is an IZ*ONE member that also had a hard choreos. I'd still remember when all the gg rookies had a collab at MAMA 2022, all the other fandoms started to talk shit IVE, saying things like "how IVE members is going to dance O.O, fearless, hype boy, and wadada? they're such a weak performer", "they can't dance a hardcore choreo cause they will break their bones, especially wonyoung". But at the end, the one who's got viral are all the IVE members, especially Yujin and Gaeul. Well, I guess that at least the koreans appreciate her more than the inter kpop stan. I mean the koreans literally call her ahn sequence and ahn kitsch.
It's crazy because Yujin and Wonyoung get hated for such absolute nonsense and called weak dancers and vocalists but these critics conveniently forget that they were fine in Iz*one??? Secret Story of the Swan is a HARD dance but apparently Ive's concept erased everything they've ever done. I'm not a stan but I look up Yujin fancams, she's such a mesmerizing performer.
@@strawberryinsomnia9188 THAT IS WHAT I'M SAYING. People didn't call yujin as ahn sequence and ahn kitsh for nothing. All the hate that ive got is so crazy and disgusting, the girls literally never did anything problematic but the got more hates than the actual problematic idols. And what's makes me even more angry is that those kpop stan always start the unnecessary hate. But when dive try to defend the girls, those kpop stan start to playing victim, gaslighting everyone and saying dive start it first. "it's a joke", "dive is so sensitive", "i love ive, but...", "i love ive, but not the fandom" or "dive is so toxic". All the hates that ive got ever since debut up until now, and those people expect that dive will just stay quite and do nothing? Bfr 💀
appreciate the BTS and Jungkook love, it feels like they’re overhated by other stans because of how popular they got. plus you’ve introduced me to some other groups’ performances that I’m going to watch after this 🥳
BTS is so absolutely not overhated. They just have more fans (number-wise) so even if they only have like 0.5% the number of haters that's still a lot of people. Same with toxic fans, a small percentage of a huge number is still a pretty large absolute number, especially when there are a lot of young and reactionary fans. It also doesn't help that if you don't stan them you might just be annoyed by the constant presence of enthusiastic Armys in every corner of every kpop space. All this goes for Blinks too, the big fandoms = magnification of everything else. If like, Fromis_9 blew up to that degree they'd have the same issue, but it wouldn't mean overhating; Ive is a good example of *actual* overhating.
@@strawberryinsomnia9188 I mean over-hated by non army. If you don’t stan BTS or aren’t a multi they get hate from other fandoms and the gp lol. And I agree that IVE is also overhated- both can be true.
Live vocals become more valuable to me when evaluating stage presence partially because of its rareness in the industry but largely because the raw emotion and energy that can only be conveyed through live vocalization helps me connect to the artist and elevates the performance that much more. These people CAN sing, they just don't for various reasons which ARE valid but just unfortunate and I wish live vocals can come back. Chaewon never fails to steal my attention when I go into a performance with the intention to look out for another member. She has proved her versatility and she's a fantastic performer! I absolutely agree with all of your points and examples (most of them are known for dancing and I concur that dancers oftentimes know how to contort their bodies to draw the audience's attention which is why it may play such a large role, but it is not a defining trait as there are idols who can't dance as well but maintain phenomenal stage presence).
YES Jungkook appreciation!! I think in the fandom just sometimes forget the good performer he IS just because he's popular, but this man is always gonna give his 110% on stage and vocals, and you can see how much he enjoy doing that Also the fact that in concerts even if he is tired, he still always gonna give live vocals so i just waiting for his tour
Bts's stage presence is the standard for me . I mean evey member of bts could be a soloist if the wanted too . Even jin who doesn't have the greatest dancing skills, still have a certain aura on stage . For me he is one of those who doesn't need an overly performed song to make a performance enjoyable. And about the jimin situation I believe that this man doesn't have anything to proove to anyone . One bad ENCORE STAGE can't erase all his years of hard work
About the Jimin one, it wasn't about the encore anymore, encore was just an excuse for vile people to hate him more, people literally sent him death and r**e threats, the Jimin situation literally taught me how digusting and vile people are and how much they hate Jimin, its sad really🙁
@@opal_escences I swear its always Army and BTS against the whole kpop community, the other fandoms want to bring down BTS so bad its crazy, they will resort to any level to tear Bangtan down, its just pure jealousy at this point, anyway BTS ain't going anywhere they are here to stay and rule😌
SEVENTEEN consistently surprise me with their performances. They always give it their all, and are always energetic and fun to watch with each song and performance. To me, stage presence is all about whom I enjoy the most whilst performing. And SEVENTEEN might be the only group (for me) wherein I have fun watching each member. You have such versatility in that group. From hard hitting energetic performances coming from Hoshi, Dino, S.Coups and DK; to having graceful and smooth dancers like The8, Jun, Jeonghan, Woozi and Seungkhwan. Facial expressions and crowd-work are also extremely important, and to me Mingyu and Vernon are best at it. Joshua and Wonwoo have more reserved stage presence, but their movements are always sharp and on point making it fun to watch. I do have my favourites in the group, but overall they're a team that has never let me down when it comes to performances and vocals. My favourite being BSS at the Circle chart awards. Their energy, the creativity of the stage, the live vocals, the interaction, the crowd-work, the set and even the dancing. It was all perfect. Overall, I think (IMO) SEVENTEEN are some of the best performers in Kpop. EDIT: If anyone has not seen SEVENTEEN's dance practice for 'Super' then please do watch it because it will blow your little mind into a million pieces. It is one of the best mega-crew kpop group performances I have seen in a long time. I remember when they released Don Quioxte and people were mad because the dancers weren't as in-synch with the members, and now there are like 30-50 fucking people all in synch dancing in a basketball court it is insane. Here is the link watch it: th-cam.com/video/TiMqP2SU7MA/w-d-xo.html
Tbh, bts are on an other level when it comes to stage presence, their skills + their alchemy on stage pls, no one does it like them, for 10 years, they never stopped being that good. And to me their talent is not limited to the kpop industry but to the music industry in general
@@aloowalia2849 This video talks spcificly about Jungkook stage presence but there is has to be always that one or ten comments about whole BTS. It was video about Jungkook giving arguments why HE has stong stage presnce not whole BTS. About how HE can sing and dance at the same time the best not whole BTS. Like HE is perfect center not whole BTS. Do you get it? Every time Jungkook is prised solo there is imidietly a comment about like "thay all are". No. They are not. Not all of them are singers, not all of them are rappers not all of them are dnacers. They are not clones. That's what my commnet is about. The impossible task for army to prise Jungkook individualy.
@@bee12117 the video highlighted INDIVIDUAL IDOLS as HIS MOST favorite one it doesn't mean others don't have stage presence. I don't think you watched the video, he even said that jungkook's stage presence is also very highlighted cuz he has amazing chemistry with the others in the group, not only that he is an all rounder. You have people in the comments praising lesserafim and dreamcatcher stage presence yet the video highlighted Siyeon, chaewon and yunjin only, and i don't see annoying ass solo stan taking it to heart. This is a comment talking about bts under a video about what stage presence is, using different examples of idols with stage presence, not groups. If people wanna talk about groups, THEY CAN. ITS A COMMENT SECTION. So go TOUCH GRASS.
@@bee12117 but when I talk about BTS I talk about everyone including Jungkook so?? Pls solo stans free us. Also in the video he is talking about everyone in BTS too so shut up thanks
Jungkook is the best performer in my heart. His expression is so versatile and he hardly puts out anything less than 300% even during rehearsal. He dances and lives with passion and we all know man cannot live a day without singing😊
I know Dreamcatcher is one of your ult groups, so seeing Siyeon highlighted is expected, but I'm still happy at the inclusion. Seeing them live is an absolute treat. They really know how to build the audience energy, especially Siyeon.
ATEEZ really sets the stage presence high for me. Watching other groups performance after watching ATEEZ is not a good idea because ATEEZ is that good performing songs with their own individual styles and engaging with the crowds.
Literally. The most specific example of this for me was the Kingdom finale. ATEEZ was chosen to perform first so they performed The Real and quite literally slayed the house down. The problem was after that everyone else seemed to pale in comparison. The next day I could barely remember any of the other songs:/ I’m honestly not trying to hate on any of these groups. I grew to love and appreciate all of them while watching the show. They’re all great performers but ATEEZ is on a whole different level
BTS’ stage presence and performances are just unmatched to any kpop group out there!!! They are this generations best performers period!!! They are the ones that literally made performance and stage presence the prime factor for Kpop if we are being honest here!!! From amazing award show performances (being the instigators of bringing tens of dancers with them to decorate their legendary stages) to elaborate concerts, Halloween dance practices(which they were the first) and many more content that revolves around them performing!!! They made performing and having stage presence the main key point for Kpop!!!
@@MrRdlv That's just how that person feels. You don't have to agree with what she or he said. People have each their own opinions so don't take everything too personally. You can think the opposite without feeling hurt by her or his points
@Riduch Bigbang could give a performance like BTS in MMA 2018 and MMA 2019 for a mere award show, mind you, then we can talk. Just because Bigbang debuted first doesn't make them better than bts :)
Thank you for another great video! Your Bts Jungkook section brought tears to my eyes.. Thank you for the appreciation 🙏 In an era where Ktubers don't really want/care/dare to talk about BTS, either out of fear of backlash or their mindset is "Bts is too mainstream/popular to even talk about nowadays", you constantly point out that BTS actually got there thanks to their love for music and performance, insanely hard work and perfecting the craft. And the grand finale, the "So what" segment, got me all emotional - super nice editing of the segment. Again, thank you! And omg, all other performers you mentioned, I AGREE 💯!
Yujin will always be my girl but seeing Dosie finally getting her flowers makes me so happy, you have no idea. One of her memeM fancams was my absolute favorite performance of last year and she's just been quietly killing it right since debut. She's one of the very, very few people who can pull off the whole subtle, understated, ice queen style without being boring and plain. Fantastic video, by the way. Your list is top tier.
I’m so glad you brought out Dosie like she is SUCH A SOFT CHARISMATIC PERFORMER. I literally don’t know how else to describe her performance quality. Also Ireh is also a very strong performer as well.
I’m happy to see many appreciation comments for BTS’ performances. Even if you are not an Army I think many will agree that BTS always put 200% into every performance. They respect the art and their audience so much. They have a deep passion for their craft and it shows. They are professionals. Edit: also just want to say I’m so proud of jungkookie. So so so proud that part of him the video made me tear up💜
My favorite kpop performers: Yujin (IVE): she is my bias wrecker, She has alot of energy and dancing skills. This girl knows how to move her arms with the music while she sings. Jungkook (BTS): He is the best relationship to the stage. Jungkook has the most amazing voice and he's facial expressions are so good. He's also a good dancer. Jungkook used his voice in live performances in the debut in the US he was amazing in live singing. I didn't see alot of Dance practice videos for BTS but I will this summer. Jungkook is a male siren he is the GOAT in BTS. Did i mention he's my bias? Woozi (Seventeen): Woozi is the shortest member of the group but I don't care I love his voice. He's adorable and he love to sing and dance and it shows. I'm not a fan of Seventeen but I'm not denying the stage presence of this group. Woozi's voice is so beautiful not as good as Jungkook but i like it. He has a solo debut song called Ruby and it's in English. It's big booty bop! Woozi is my bias in Seventeen because of this song. Hyunbin (Tri•be): Hyunbin is from one of the most underrated kpop groups is my bias. I love her facial expressions and her voice is top notch she's also a rapper so she's an amazing rapper and a great dancer. When she raps its electrified the performances. Tri•be is similar to red velvet they do girl crush in Doom Doom ta and They sometimes do cute like the buh buh song. Its also theme song of We baby bears. Hyunbin has a plethora of hair colors i can't remember them but the hairstyles and colors she has made her stage presence even better. But it also damages her hair. Lisa (Blackpink): Lisa is my ultimate bias. She is one of the four all rounders in the group. Lisa is the Queen of Stage Presence in my opinion, Lisa is the dance prodigy she was dancing as she was little. Her facial expressions are the best and her dancing rivals any main dancer. Being a woman from Thailand isn't easy because racism, but it's not bring her down. She even has a hidden talent of memorizing other dances. She's also the lead rapper her raps are the best. Someone must have taught her how to rap. Lisa is good at singing too especially on live. Her live vocals are amazing. Psy (soloist): He is the man that made me loved Kpop. He is the dance king with his song Gangnam style Psy made everyone dance he also showed his over the top facial expressions and rapping. He command the stage like it's nothing. He is the GOAT in Kpop. HyunA (Soloist): HyunA is the Lady Gaga of Kpop because she dresses werid like Lady Gaga but they both used their werid fashion sense to elevate their stage presence. HyunA is a dancer, rapper, and singer. She was a member of 4mintue and Wonder girls. Her dancing unlike any other. Her style of dance is not for everyone but I love it and her voice is honey to my ears. She's a souceress of the stage and lives to perform.
I have the same opinion i will just add taemin,hyolyn(sistar),jihyo(twice),chungha,somin(kard),rosé and jennie (blackpink),Cl(2ne1),Dawn,yujin ,yunjin ,hoshi ...and more
I really think Jungkook is a 'crazy genius' kind of talent. Like, getting scouted by so many agencies, his future is set for him already. If he pick the most popular company at that time no one is going to question his decision. Past Bighit is basically a 'sinking ship' no matter how you look at it. It doesn't matter how talented the artists when the platform is not stable it'll be hard for anyone to stand up. BUT NO the young Jungkook still decided to gamble and choose THE sinking ship. It was a blessing in disguise for him and the tannies but personally, I cannot imagine having THAT much confidence in myself. Even up to this day, the dude is still head over heels enamored w his 'Namjoon hyung' 😂 Edit: also, another thing to acknowledge is the attitude of the rest of the members in general. Jungkook is the youngest of the group w a 2 years gap between him and Taehyung- PLUS, Jimin and Tae used to be the unseparated twinnies/95z duo- so no wonder they baby Jungkook a lot. The overflowing support and encouragement they gave him ever since his debut really shaped him as an exceptional artist now. You feel the love/genuine care of bts for their maknae and Jungkook as well care/supports his hyungs. What a healthy relationship...
Great video!! We're so lucky to have witnessed Yujin develop into such a phenomenal performer dude, from PD48 to IZ*ONE to IVE... she's never ceased to impress me more and more with every comeback... and she's only 19 lmao. All the people you mentioned are amazing too btw, some of my personal favs off the top of my head are Yujin (IVE), Hoshi/Dino (SVT), U-Kwon (Block B), Minjae (MCND), Yoojung (Weki Meki), & Ryujin (Itzy). I'm also very much looking forward to Gunwook of ZB1 debuting because his stage presence blew me away on Boys Planet!!!
Jungkook really is the full package of talents, looks, dedication and stage presence....he is the center of the biggest band on the planet for a reason
Another great performer I would like to point out, that to me seems to be born to perform on stage but also continuously works hard is Kyujin from Nmixx. She debuted when she was 15 but even then, I already thought she was Nmixx's best performer and had some of the best stage presence I had ever seen from a rookie idol. Nowadays I do have to say my favourite performer in the group is Haewon but Kyujin still is amazing and is still only 16 years old. Fans that went to their recent concerts also said that they were surprised how captivating and sure of herself Kyujin was on stage. I'm really looking forward to her development over the years bc I think she will improve even more.
For me ATEEZ does it best and in a unique way. Their not afraid to get down, be weird, make odd facial expressions ,be hot, cute, sexy ,u name it. All while singing and dancing the way they do. I saw them live in december and foe 3h it was just pure entertainment and i teared up because i grew up watching Michael Jackson and it was really bringing me back. One thing was thay they knew hoe ro animate the crowd. Get us hype. Not one second was boring
"They're not afraid" is HUGE because they had nothing. You felt their desperation and like they were leaving everything on stage and that gives them such a feeling of genuineness that really gets you invested.
Whenever i hear stage presence my mind immediately goes to j-hope..aside from being a really great artist and dancer he is a phenomenal performer..his lollapalooza performance was for the books!! i totally believe he is the performer of the generation !
Spot on analysis. The performance aspect of Kpop is one of the most significant factors contributing to its popularity in the global market. Look at LSF, many people became their fans after LSF just slayed every performance in the year-end music award shows. On the other hand, Jpop idol groups have not been able to gain as much popularity partly because their performance level is relatively low. When Sakura started her idol career in Korea, one of the most difficult things for her was that she had never received training at the level of Korean idol trainees in Japan Although Chaewon had great potential during her time in IZ*ONE, I believe that she was not able to fully demonstrate her abilities due to the performance style that IZ*ONE followed. It was difficult for anyone to stand out among 12 members. I am amazed by Chaewon’s transformation, and I find it surprising that some IZ*ONE fans got upset when you mentioned it. However, given how fandoms work, I suppose it's not entirely unexpected. I believe that the concept and style of Le Sserafim have allowed Chaewon to fully realize her potential and who she really is as a performer. I still remember the first time I saw Chaewon's facial expression during the MAMA Dress Rehearsal; it made me think that she was a completely different person from her IZ*ONE days. Moreover, I think that Kazuha currently has the highest potential among the members of Le Sserafim. Considering her limited experience and training of only about a year, I believe that she has the most room for growth among the group members.
100% agree with Jungkook being THE standard for all-rounder. The word all-rounder were thrown so much nowadays it almost lost its meaning. In my opinion, Ningning, Karina, Hyewoo NMIXX and Mia Everglow are honestly the only 4th gen who honestly could be called all-rounder.
For me in ggs only best performers are: Itzy Blackpink Twice(only half of members) For boy groups: BTS ( Jhope is really on extreme level) Stray kids Seventeen
I think nobody can deny BTS's group stage presence is probably the best in kpop. But also they have a strong arguement for having 4 of the best male performers ever in kpop with Jhope, Jungkook, V/Taehyung and Jimin. They can all be considered in the list of the top 10 best performers ever in kpop and I wont be surprised.
@@aeongies Well they're THE best performers in my opinion but you can have another group whose performances you enjoy more. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Too be honest, I think Jihyo and Moon Sua are also some of the best idols at stage presence. I feel like moon sua has a very interesting stage presence type. She kind of just takes up the whole stage. I feel like she’s overlooked, mainly because of Tsuki and don’t get me wrong, Tsuki is a amazing performer, but something about moon sua’s diverse facial expressions, clean dancing and flawless live vocals and rapping that makes her stick out. She’s got charisma, but she can also be cute. I think moon sua could honestly just become more of a powerhouse performer further in her career.
I think one of the main reason stage presence is considered necessity in kpop bc most of these idols are not considered artist but rather performers bc they do not produce or write their own songs or even contribute to it, of course there are some exceptions but most of them just do what their agency give them so the least a fan can expect them is to sing it and perform it perfectly, as most idols stick to lip syncing these days stage presence and dancing has become the only 2 things that we can enjoy live, So we expect them to be good at it.
the basketball analogy is so true. jk fr is the gold standard of what an "all rounder" idol truly is. all rounder as a term gets thrown around and attached to idols way to much nowadays and its kinda unfair. because if you compare some of these quote unquote "all rounders" to jk it becomes so painfully clear how much of a cheat code he is as an idol. if the idol industry was truly like the nba where idols could get traded from group to group, jk would have the biggest trade value of not just bts but any idol ever. companies would genuinely disband groups just to trade for him. it would be nuts
Thank you for including Dosie in this video, I'm so glad! I never expect kpop video essays to include Purple Kiss, but they totally deserve it. Especially in conversations about performance and stage presence! I hope one day Dosie gets more appreciation and receives the it-girl status that she has clearly deserved since debut.
What I don’t understand is how people pay hundreds of dollars for concert tickets and they KNOW the artists is lip-synching, that will always be a big No No for me, i can’t rock with any performer that can’t sing live, and the only reason people dog piled on Jimin was because he’s in BTS, when you sing live you’re gonna have bad days, it happens to the best, the hate & jealousy K-pop stans have for that group is crazy
plenty of groups have been mocked for their encore stages, not just bts. for example, momo from twice’s infamous alcohol free encore performance. and just the other day sakura was being slandered for her vocals in le sserafim’s unforgiven encore. equally, what else can you expect? bts are the biggest kpop group and currently have over a decade of experience, of course people are going to hold them to higher standards. i’m not saying it’s right to be harsher on them but it’s definitely to be expected.
May be so many fandoms were harsh to army because army have been quite annoying and disrespectful to other artists. What goes around comes around. It's always comes as a shock to armies but a lot of people including kpop fans really don't care about bts. It's okay. Not everyone has to like the things you do.
@@loyisad1211How old are u and what the hell are you talking about? Do you think attacking Jimin or any other idol/celebrity is hurting the random people that makeup their fandoms? That individual is THE ONE who is being ridiculed and harassed. I’m taking about the PERSON and your focus a fandom, please go touch some grass. Also if someone you do or don’t know, got you in your feelings to where you’re liking or writing hateful comments about them trust me you “CARE” a lot
@@loyisad1211 you're not just 'being harsh' to army to 'get back at them', you're being harsh to the artist, jimin, who has nothing to do with the bullshit fans throw at each other. i dont see a lot of army being toxic (i dont use twitter lol) but how is it justified to throw that toxicity back and forth between any fandoms? thats just childish, be the bigger person and move on. its not okay to send hate and threats to an idol just because you don't like what some random person on the internet said about your fav. an eye for an eye...
@@loyisad1211 Thats childish and stupid. I wont ever deny the bad things that many Armys have done and are continuing to do to other idols, fandoms and artist, however! If you are hating on Jimin you are not getting back at Army, you are hating on a person that hasnt done anything to deserve the hate. How can you complain about people being hateful but then go and justify the same kind of hate? Also many, MANY kpop fans have a lot of care in BTS. Not nessesarly in apositive way tho. People love to ignore BTS when it comes to their achivments but then dunck in their noeses when it comes to controversies.
Hybe really has the best performers right now. BTS are obviously insane on stage both as a group and individually. Even their members who aren't technically the best at dancing still shine on stage and are able to keep up with the great dancers of the group, which is a talent in itself. Imagine never having danced before and suddenly having to keep pace with Jimin and J-hope, two of the best dancers in kpop ever; RM, Jin, and Suga have all stepped up to the challenge and have created great chemistry on stage with the dance line despite their lack of dance experience. Despite what antis insist, BTS's live vocals are incredible. The vocal line shines and the rap line stuns in concert. One shitty Like Crazy encore be damned, Jimin can sing and he sings well, and I won't let anyone tell me otherwise. I've heard that man in concert, and he's got some pipes on him. TXT as a unit are incredible performers. Yeonjun has crazy stage presence and there's a reason he was famous amongst the trainees for being great. Le Sserafim are show-stopping, spunky performers, even in their group's infancy. Chaewon and Yunjin are fucking fantastic and stand out to me the most, but all of the girls are great. I'd love to see more live vocals from them though. Seventeen are known to be great dancers and with as many members as they have, it's so impressive that they're so in tune with each other on stage. Some groups fall apart with only 4-5 members, so being that coordinated with 13 members is crazy. New Jeans have such cutesy, bubbly stages, and I they'll only improve as time goes on. For how young some of them are, what they're doing is really impressive. I don't know much about Fromis_9 or Enhypen, but I'm sure they're able to hold their own as well. But yeah, in terms of stage presence, Hybe dominates for sure.
Imo, vast majority of acts either do not get the oppurtunity, or may not have a prospective skill in having a personal artistic arc. Especially considering how in kpop, the expected release frequency is far higher than normative standard in other industries. In the 1st and 2nd gen you barely even got to see much of the idols personality besides the variety shows they did. But even today, the only space you get to see each idols individual performative and artistic skills is on stage. Also for groups that have less artistic freedom, the stage presence becomes the atributing factor to the vibe, the concept and the message a group would like to give. Say blackpink. The instant association to women empowerment, girl power etc. came majorly from the style the girls were trained (and ofc a certain natural aura they exude). The only issue is, when a group is primarily dependent on stage presence, it is very easy to fall flat. Especially, a few consecutive errors or lack of passion. Its also easy for an idol to be boxed. Idols called pick me, fake and what not. Besides, endeavors that can be sociopolitical can easily be judged by the public as to why a group whose messaging is framed by a company is now becoming puppets in such platforms (the public reception to aespa's UN endeavor is a good example). Whereas, a group has freedom and the skills to write (or some groups may not be lyrically strong but make unique music like red velvet) and make a legacy for themselves; Even with no choreo, and just a simple mic, the stage just becomes one more platform for an audience to feel the true essence of the message or the concept a group stands for. Thats the nuance stage presence holds.
Surprised people now are just seeing Chaewon’s sp. saying she has grown to be this person is weird to me because she’s never not been amazing. I remeber In “fiesta” era, when she changed her hair and hair color, I instantly saw her presence. So happy to see the love and appreciation for the amazing performer she’s always been in.
In Izone she was heavily overshadowed by Eunbi, Yujin, Wonyoung Even Sakura she may have been popular but they forced all the attention on certain member's Even if Chaewon is one of the most talented their she was not in spotlight compared to 3 mentioned above. Like sadly Minju and Hyewon were more on their look's than anything else Imo the less appreciated member's are for sure Chaewon, Nako, Hitomi, sometimes Chaeyeon too, even Sakura can be listed here the other's mainly garnered all the attention due to company of IZONE
Dreamcatcher as a whole are amazing performers live, but siyeon especially just ugh 😭😍 Ive seen them live three times now and they are by far my fav kpop group to see in concert. Their shows are simpler and lower budget in comparison to companies from bigger groups but they’re so fun and the talent is overflowing!
Gonna be yet another loudspeaker for Ateez lol I only really got heavy into stanning them last year, when a friend of mine had an extra ticket to their concert and asked me to tag along. I had only heard deja vu from them at that point, but the concert was in the city we lived in, and hey, I won’t turn down an impromptu chance at a concert! Holy shit, dude. I walked in there knowing one song, and walked out ready to look up their whole discography and variety show appearances. Their music is great, don’t get me wrong, but their *stage presence* was unreal. We were in nosebleed seats, and I was still transfixed. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the chance to see them live, especially with how much they’ve grown this past year (and how expensive their tickets are now lol). It was genuinely a life-changing experience that sent me fully back down the K-pop rabbit hole after having nearly crawled out during 4th gen lmfao
Well done presentation! When it comes to choosing my biases the thing I pay most attention to is their stage presence and performance over all. Hyunjin is my all time bias in Kpop because of his intense and incredible stage performing, presence, facial expressions and dancing skills 👏🏻 I even made a whole playlist because you just can’t get enough of watching him perform on stage. Bts are also my favorite group when it comes to stage presence, they just know how to hype everyone up and it’s so much fun!
I love Monsta X as performers, for me, they just kill it every time. There is a Chinese artist called Hua Chenyu, and to me he is the best performer I've ever seen. Even if I don't always vibe with BTS' music anymore they are undeniable performers. It's kind of funny, when I watch western artists' music videos or performances man, you can really tell the difference for a lot of them, they just looks so uncharasmatic. Reads very "I'm here for a paycheque, and then I'm out". Maybe I'm just watching the wrong people though, but I feel like it's been a while in the western world since there has been a true performer... maybe Harry Styles? but I don't know.
I wanna add that although I'm not an atiny I was mesmerized by Ateez in MAMA 2019 I was so hyped by them and it was like 5 am 😭they are great. Also TXT is very good in my opinion, in MAMA 2020 they did a zumba type of dance and it was different but so fun. anyways there's a bunch of talented performers but those two groups are at a very high level💖 not that they're the only groups that are amazing btw
I would also like to highlight Han Jisung from Stray Kids. I love watching him perform. Like Chaewon he is just a lot of fun to watch. Always smiling, great energy and versatile facial expressions. One of my favorite performers for sure!
For me Siyeon is THE definition of stage presence. All of Dreamcatcher really, specially with the fact that each of their SP is so different. I've always think that Kpop idols are more "performers" than they are actual singers or dancers, I'm not saying they don't do these things at an amazing level, because they do. But the main product they sell is the performances, and the music and the choreo are just elements to that product. It's more like the sum of the parts than the parts themselves. That's why sometimes you hear a song that is just okay, but you look at the MV or at the music show performance and suddenly even the songs sounds better. Great video!
Siyeon also has monstrously good vocals (MR removed videos prove she sings LIVE live, along with Gahyeon who is consistently insanely stable) and could genuinely front a band and have her voice stand up to scrutiny without a backing track or dancing or glamorous camera angles, which is so incredibly rare among idols. She might not be Floor Jansen, but she's at that kind of level in terms of kpop-only standards.
@@strawberryinsomnia9188 Yes! Agree completely. The moment I saw you mentioned Floor made me realize we're best friends now. No other way around it. I NEED a Floor and Siyeon collaboration song, btw. Can you imagine the power!?
Aww man, I was kinda hoping you'd include Hyunjin from SKZ lol, his stage presence, imo is just chef's kiss haha but I strongly agree with the idols you included
that is because ive isn't from big companies while lsf and NJ are from hybe. if ive coming from big companies esp hybe, people gonna praise them for everything
my personal favorite performer is hongjoong idk that man was simply born to be on stage, you watch any fancam or performance of his and every second he's delivering amazing expressions, charisma, energy. he's simply such a joy to watch 😭🤍
i did NOT expect to see Dosie here but im so excited she is!! i think as a group they have so much presence but i agree that she just takes the cake, she sells me on every single performance. She has so much power and she commands the stage so well. Im excited to see Purple Kiss flourish and grow even more as time goes on.
With all due respect, I believe stage presence is independent of any other performance aspects such as dancing, singing, etc. This why Kpop stans nowadays are so messy when describing the "stage presence" of their bias and their anti-bias. Stage presence of an individual is the quality and manner by which one demands attention from audiences and manifest authority on the stage, regardless of the exhibition. Meaning, even if one is just standing on the stage as a tableau, or sitting down while singing, or dancing throughout the whole platform, or just making a stage gag, that individual can still command stage presence because as you have said that it is inherently subjective. The moment majority of the audiences' focus are drawn with awe to what the individual is doing on stage, that is the moment where stage presence manifest its very nature.
Yeah I can see that point of view, but my rebuttal to that would be, if an idol performing, halazia for example, was standing still on stage, making some facial expressions, would that really be considered "stage presence" in kpop? I feel like singing and dancing in kpop specifically add to this, which is why I distinguished what it was to open the video. I believe stage presence in kpop specifically is a culmination of everything, because if you remove the dancing and singing, you get someone awkwardly winking standing on stage, and is that really what stage presence is? I guess it's up to the person to decide.
@@Taejiu As I've mentioned above, the moment majority of the audiences' attention were drawn "with awe", regardless of performance, stage presence is being exhibited. So in the case you presented, it would be a "yes" if attention is commanded and instill awe. You see, ai believe many of kpop stan is missing the point that stage presence is independent of idol skills. For example, a new Kpop stan without even knowing about BIGBANG, would immediately know who amongst the five have best stage presence 3 seconds from when they enter the stage without them dancing or singing, just standing or walking. I hope you get what I mean. But of course, I also get what you are saying, and for so long now. More and more stans are starting to mix stage presence with the outstanding skills of idols. And therefore the quality of stage presence will be diluted with how good the skillset of the idols possess because that is what the majority believes and stage presence is "inherently subjective".
I'm also of the opinions that singing and dancing doesn't equate to great stage presence. I think they help the performance but they aren't major the reasons why they are great even in kpop. In my opinion; persona, aura and facial expressions that determine great stage presence. You gave halazia as an example. We can all agree that halazia has a great choreography and the live singing really added to it but the performance wasn't fantastic because of only these. All Ateez member took up a character to portray for the song to really come alive. Wooyoung had the best dance execution but Seonghwa had the best stage presence for that era, Yeosang also brought out an aggression we have never seen from him. Their singing and dancing could only take them so far. They're desperation, hopefulnessand almost numbness was seen through their facial expressions and auras. Halazia dance structure also going against how Ateez dances with them focusing more on uniformity and synchronisation then before and without their individual personas the performance could have fallen flat due to it's difference in dance structure. The stage presence was in the little things, change of emotional in their eyes, faces. Seonghwa for example had a 2 conflicting emotions happening during different parts of the dance. He would go from strong general and god like being to an emotional wreck by the time Jongho's chorus kicked it, making the audience feel like he was lying when he was front and center. I could really feel the pain in his eyes as the song progressed. The other members also had something to tell ( individual pov) even when the dance says something else. This really brought to live what song was trying to say. Idols can have good stage presence without or with live sing or dancing ability. Like the commenter said 3seconds into a big bang performance can tell all that needs to said. That being said we should expect that idols than can dance well are not the best performance always, we're kinda of blindsiding ourselves by thinking this. Great dancer or singer =\= Great performer. To the halazia question; Ateez performing halazia with all this emotions they put in their on stages while they're only singing is a bad idea. I don't even think they would performance it like that while singing. They're experienced performers and I think they would express the song like a singer and not a performer when the stage requires it. Halazia is also a song that was produced for a performance and they know that. Taejiu, thanks for the stage presence video. It was nice see you list of performance. Sorry for the long response and if I sound contradictory. 😁
What you described can easily be named "charisma" and just added to the mix. And charisma is probably that wow factor that gets idols accepted into companies. I remember an interview with someone who was a judge in castings and they said that they usually know whether a trainee will be accepted before the trainee even has a chance to open their mouth.
@@_aeth_ That is exactly it. Instead of stage presence being attributed with idol skills, it is more accurate to attribute stage presence with charisma. In fact, if we oversimplify, stage presence is merely one's "presence" exposed to audience scrutiny.
I feel like people nowadays mistake facial expressions as stage presence, I mean yeah, it could be part of it, but stage presence is just something certain idols have with or without excessive facial expressions. Really good examples are CL and Hyuna, like both of these queens can just stand there, raise an eyebrow and have people screaming and frothing at the mouth. An idol that is able to pull people's undivided attention without really doing too much, for me, shows how great of a stage presence they have. Another great example of this would be Hwasa who just really pulls you in, even when you just see her silhouette before her performance starts
All these performers were the reason why I got attracted towards the group. I guess great stage presence also helps in attracting new audience. Apart from the one you listed I also like stage presence of Jihyo (twice), Ryunjin (itzy), taeyeog (nct), Felix (stray kids) and Soyeon (gidle).
great video as always. you should do a video ranking your top five bts comebacks/songs of all time for their 10th anniversary coming up. godspeed my dude
For me someone who has unhinged stage presence like no one can top this idol is GDRAGON, the man screams stage power the second he enters, and Taeyang and TOP are just magic on stage as well. (some other favs - CL, Bobby, B.I, Taemin, Jonghyun)
BTS are a beast on stage. A lot of people can dance, do the moves but not everyone have charisma and in the case of BTS the 7 of them have that , their expressions are amazing.They are powerful. They are not only the best performers in kpop, but also, one of the best performers in history and they gave on stage their everything during all these years.
Monsta X are literally one of the few artists surviving the lack of stage presence since debut and the day kpoppers admit monsta x was one of the few groups carrying stage presence from their generation
Kai is the kpop artist with the strongest stage presence in my opinion, whether in EXO or SuperM, my eyes will always be drawn to him. And Jungkook is definitely one of a kind, he is BTS center for a reason. Jihyo is another great one.
Im so uncountably proud of how Yujin and Chaewon has evolved as performers since produce 48.
So true

only Ahn Yujin I don't like chaewon yujin is more talented and got charisma on stage

I've always said even if you don't like BTS music I don't know how anyone can deny their incredible stage presence. Their first tour after they come back from the military is going to be huge. And I think live singing contributes a lot to being excellent performers, if you are lip syncing the performance becomes very robotic. If you are a singer, I think you should sing. Using backing vocals is okay because sometimes you do need to catch your breath especially when dancing, but I can't stand singers who 100 percent lip sync.
i love that when they perform they literally hav fun . some performances may not be perfect but they sure are fun always
they're the best performers in k-pop .
I completely agree. I don't listen to BTS's music at all, but I thoroughly enjoy watching them perform, they're incredible
I think that when an artist is having fun and enjoys performing the song, it is very apparent in their performance. They are in their element and their confidence translates on screen.
And the most incredible thing is that even after 10 years in the Industry BTS are still so passionate about music and performing, Legends Indeed💜
recently attended yoongi's concert in LA and even if he isn't the strongest dancer in bts, his stage presence is out of this world. He can command the stage without even without choreography. I was a bit worried going in because of said lack of choreography but it was genuinely the best concert I've ever attended.
I completely agree. I went to his concert in Chicago and it was incredible.
the last concert in LA was insane omg he commands that stage
G DRAGON THE KING

@@_noobin i would highly recommend it
One component of stage presence for me is group dynamic. If members know and understand how to highlight each other equally throughout a performance, it's a big plus for me!
Especially back then 2ne1 got smacked a lot in music shows, to Music Awards & concerts too.
G DRAGON THE KING
Right like when TXT had their act sweet mirage tour they're always so happy with each other, like the amount of times they've looked at each other and giggled or whispered to each other, it's truly seeing a group of best friends living their dream
Jungkook's stage presence is spellbinding. He entertains everyone with remarkable panache. His agility, mobility and dedication to his craft whenever he steps on stage is like no other. I've been watching bts perform for 6 years now, and after all these years now I understand why he's the centre. He's not an eccentric or different from any other performer, he is simply eminently keen to perform. He is aggressive, unrelenting and of course very ardent on stage. He has been my ultimate crush for 5 years and he still makes my heart beat like a drum to this day, and that's the same reason why he's such a sterling performer, he always puts the same amount of energy, enthusiasm and work in his performances. He never slacks off, he's consistent. The man is an institution
spellbinding wow, I don't use that word often but u are so spot on, that word is indeed JK onstage, u won't have the willpower to look away fr him... thank u, I so so love the way u describe him in this comment 💜
@@poppette1978 you're welcome sweetie!
You described well.he is my ultimate bias for a reason.
Honestly, Lesserafim and IVE's Yujin are the standards of stage presence right now, which is so surprising since most of the members are really young and some of the members did a whole different concept. I really love how they have improved and the praise is deserved.
G DRAGON KING
My conclusions:
- Jungkook can step on me as much as he fcking wants I’M NOT A SIMP THO, GEEZ.
- You can feel BTS have fun on stage, like, that’s what others should be trying to replicate instead of their success but you didn’t heard that from me 😗
- I hate, despise, dislike how idols can’t have fun anymore on stage when it comes to an encore, like, flex them vocals too if you want BUT HAVE FUN I BEG, STOP CARING SO MUCH, YOU GOT AN AWARD AND WILL GET PAID BUT COMMENTS SCARE YOU??? NAAAAAAHHHHH GO GET BITCHES
- I, like a lot of people, agree that minors shouldn’t debut so soon BUT Eunchae’s stage presence is just getting better, NWJNS too, I love the way they interact in “Ditto” performances, it makes me happy
- LESSERAFIM best girls
Bye✌🏽
Gonna shout out my main man j-hope for his stage presence as well, I know you’re a already a fan Taejiu. Flawless energy management, sounds like he eats CDs for breakfast, amazing dancing (obviously), and can match his facial expressions to whatever concept is needed. His Lollapalooza performance really showcased all of these attributes well, from starting with darker concepts to closing with a hopeful message while performing at 💯 the whole set. Love him.
I’ll never forget the absolute serve that was him just standing there while the audience chanted J-Hope! for like almost one minute. (Just Dance in Brazil for anyone interested)
YES! I see nothing but truth
He is the best performer in bts for me
@@falling_for3171 Agreed

Glad to see Yujin be appreciated, I feel like she gets overlooked a lot by the kpop community just because she’s in IVE and we know how people like to discredit them for everything. If she was in any other group she’d receive more attention the way you and everglow-up gave her, it’s well deserved. I also agree with the ‘hair’ comment about Chaewon, it sounds weird but it does make sense, it suits her first of all and it fits the concept, it allows her to embody the persona necessary. I’m glad to see the iz’one girlies do so well.
Yujin was such a triple threat back in IZ*ONE, imo Stardust uses IVE members strength very poorly.
@@biazacha the fact that stardust has been ignoring liz's insane vocal ability, and gave her a few seconds worth of singing in their song "kitsch" is so weird.
It’s because K-pop fans have a hate boner with Ive and they’re threatened. As soon as they started winning the biggest awards and beating their favs, everyone switched.
@@yuenmienyudude come on did you listen to the full album? liz absolutely kills it throughout
@@yuenmienyu liz has second most lines in whole discography. you judging with a single song which isn't even vocal-focused song and neither a title track says a lot about how people treat IVE. many just hate them, rest of them pretend to care about them. IVE is such a sad case in kpop honestly.
BTS stage presence is incredible, always left us spechless
That one 2019 LOTTE Family concert Jungkook's performance? Yeah that one. He became my bias since the moment I saw him. He really knows how to get someone into him, doesn't he? His stage presence is really Thee Standard!! True Definition of a Centre he is. Plus whole bts' stage presence is out of this world. Every member is unique in their own way. Love and appreciate them so much!

2019 lotte concert idol and mic drop jungkook fancam. nothing can top that. the stage presence, the energy, the dance and the live vocal is insane. i still specifically search for that fancam to enjoy it. it's always like the first time even if I watch it 100th time.
everyone talks about how much an amazing performer hoshi is, which is valid becase he is really amazing but i rarely ever people talk about dino. even in svt's fandom, not many people talk about dino as a performer, which is a CRIME. same as hoshi, he has amazing energy control, facial expressions are always on point, his live singing is consistently stable and he's just so fun to watch. i need people to start talking abt dino because he's just so good
also shoutout to jun, chaewon, yunjin, yeonjun, jihyo and yunho who are some of my favorite performers in k-pop.
The people you listed are the ones I always think of when I think of stage presence 👌 I was surprised to realize how overlooked Dino is, I thought he would be one of the most popular members because of his overall skills, his energy is always at 100%
Omg finally someone who appreciates Dino!!! No one ever does and I’m like, are y’all blind???!!
Agree 100% he's always doing amazing
Thank you for this comment. Dino is incredible.
G DRAGON KING ,
All I could think of when you brought up Jungkook always singing live was his live karaoke sessions he would do on Weverse live for literal hours. 😂 while intoxicated and still sounds amazing. He really is something else.
I think Mamamoo also has great stage presence, they seem like they’re having so much fun and they really get that crowd interaction which to me matters a lot.
eah I wish this video has mamamoo they are so captivating too for me
BTS has really got some of the best performers in kpop, period. J-hope's lollapalooza is still being talked about. Jungkook went viral in the middle east for Dreamers at FIFA. V's every performance fancam has gone viral. Jimin is literally the it boy of kpop. Agust D's tour speaks for himself for how good of a performer he is. RM, while not being a dancer still can pull off a world tour by himself if he wanted to. Actually, quite literally every member can pull off a solo tour if they wanted to, and that's why BTS are where they are right now. They have 7 incredible artists who happen to be best friends and in a group together
This!💯
FACTS!!!
adding Jin, whose melodic voice alone can fill an entire stadium and send each person to tears!
@always pluto oh yeah, he can make a whole stadium filled with 80k people sing "I'm the one I should love in this world."
Jimin it boy are words I live to see
Not even trying to be biased but watching BTS performances from like debut days they had so much presences back then as well.. but seeing now you can definitely tell the more they trained their stage presences got even better !! Jungkooks facial expressions are always on point all of them actually
le Sserafim as a whole stole my heart with their stage presence, and I'm happy to see that they are still improving (esp kazuha has gotten better this comeback), and seeing Chaewon turn from the girl who no one thought would debut to one of 4th gens best performers is so satisfying. Sakura as well gained more confidence since izone, and it benefits a lot to her aura on stage. and yujin has been getting better and better since the ive debut. her I am and kitsch stages are very fun to watch, and she has so so much confidence, her facial expressions are so on point now. Her performing didn't really catch my eye back in izone, but now my eyes are glued to her throughout the performance, its magnetic.
Even if JK takes a "break" on other songs, I've noticed that he will absolutely sing his solos live no matter what. Great list and really enjoyed this video!
So happy you mentioned Jungkook’s My Time performance because that has to be my favorite solo stage from him ever. I was really sad I didn’t get the tickets for the online concert for the 1st day but I was overjoyed that I instead got D2 when he pulled up with this stellar performance. Watching him brought me to tears, he’s so passionate about what he does and I pray to whatever god there is that he will one day perform My Time in front of a live crowd in person because I would give anything to watch it. I had tickets for the MOTS tour before Covid and have been praying they bring the set list for it back because those solos and sub unit songs were some of their best. I saw them back in 2019 and Hobi took me away with Just Dance, you see him in videos and people talk about just how good of a performer he is but nothing compares to seeing him live. He really was born to be on stage, his energy is infectious and he really blew me away. With Tae I’m very biased (clearly) but gosh him in person is so unreal. You watch his fan cams and his expressions are so on point. Wether he’s center or in the back he’s always on. Of course everyone in BTS are incredibly talented on stage and you can tell their group chemistry off the stage has helped them immensely, they blend so well together. We’ve all seen those incredible synchronization videos of them but those 3 really do stick out to me after seeing them live. Thanks for another amazing video!
Yesss Dreamcatcher members stage presence is no joke! Each members shine in stage presence and doesn't clash with each other! And siyeon really fit Dreamcatcher rock metal horror confept! Her looks, vocal, stage presence and execution to choreo while adding her own personality here and there are top notch!
Dreamcatcher are just underappreciated!
Siyeon during Red Sun era sold me.
i'm so annoyed at how the kpop community has been ignoring them and their talents. i'm aware that rock isn't very marketable in kpop, but dreamcatcher are so underrated.
@@yuenmienyu i am more annoyed when big groups do rock and fans think they pioneer rock in kpop😒
@@yuenmienyu it has taken too long but they are pretty well known now.
@@edvaedan9161 They still get very little attention and respect compared to similarly sized groups, which makes sense because they're a bit more niche but is just really evidence that kpop is absolutely not just skill-based (and DC has songs in pretty much every genre, so it's not even a genre thing).
I see Chaewon, I click. But forreal she's one of the BEST performers in kpop. Stage presence, facial expressions, dance, visuals she has it all. Also something KNETZ always mention is that Chaewon has a beautiful "dance line" which is like the way she positions her body and just the way she looks while dancing. 2 people can do the same choreo but look totally different in how they execute it. Chaewon always captures the mood with her body well. Plus she's able to adapt to any concept. She's done cutesy and elegant in IZONE, she's also covered quirky dances like in Catallena, and now she's doing fierce cool concepts in LE SSERAFIM.
Jeon freaking Jungkook! The dude is a beast on stage. His commitment to live singing really makes my respct for him increase every single stage. I had fully expected him to lipsync half the song or have heavy backing track for the Dreamers stage. Its a huge event and its would have been understandable if he did. But Nah! He sang his heart out even if that meant 1/2 minor mistakes. (Also, he learnt that choreo with hours to spare! Kudos to him!)
He may not be "technically" considered among the top vocalists of kpop but he will ALWAYS execute a BTS/JK song to utter perfection.
my favourite thing about him though is that he never turns off. When its not his singing part, he's still giving his 100% (interacting with crowd, throwing in adlibs, executing every step like textbook) but without overshadowing the member whose part it is. That's what makes him one of THE best centers kpop has ever had imo.
(him and Jhope elevate every song by atleast 15% just with their adlibs. Goes to show how Present(pun intended) they are on stage at every moment)
Every BTS member is amazing on stage but BigHit really hit Jackpot with that 13 yr old boy who thought RunchRanda was super cool😎
I love seeing yujin, yunjin, chaewon appreciation. They are easily some of the top performers of this generation and deserve all the love.
Really appreciate this video. You may have added quite a few fancams to my to-watch list.
aaaahhh I so love ur comment man 💜🙏🏼
He's so cringe lmao
@@lacramioarag.8387 definitely u🥱
HELPPPP... RUNCH RANDA
part of the reason why bts in general stand out from all the other kpop groups (no shade) and are so loved across the globe is because of their unmatched energy and stage presence when they are performing. i feel they have NEVER half assed a performance, be it for music shows, online performances or award shows. it’s a part of their charm.
G DRAGON KING
Recently I went back and re-watched a ton of BTS performances over the years, concerts, award shows, music shows, festivals, even like random performances in a mall early in their career... and every single performance they were giving 100%. Even when their condition wasn't the best, or they seemed tired, or it's raining and windy, or they already performed for 20 minutes straight and they're literally dripping sweat, or it was a small unglamorous stage with an audience of non-fans... every single time it's 100% and I think that's one of the biggest reasons they have the level of success they do (along with quality music, talent, personality etc.)
Also the video where Jungkook is chasing Yoongi (don't remember what BTS was doing just remember how stable Jungkook was chasing him) like the way you hear the others but with how steady Jungkook was it was amazing
With you showing so many clips of Seventeen it just cements to me even more how amazing as a group they are at stage presence, they command the stage and transform it into their playground, teleporting you into a new story they tell though their choreography. Of course there are better dances than others for example as you said Hoshi who is incredible, but they all stand their ground and make such a cohesive unit that paired with their synchonization they move as one. It’s truly incredible what they do each time and how their master every style, they really are one of the best groups on the stage for me.
I think there's a difference between group stage presence and a single idol's stage presence. Groups like Seventeen, BTS, Ateez etc. have great group stage presence (regardless of which member charisma, if any, or has the best stage presence) while some other groups like Exo, GIDLE, Txt where one member stands out in performances because of their overwhelming stage presence in comparison to the other members. Also, I strongly believe that confidence (+ concept of the comeback) matters a lot with the majority of idols. If you're not confident in dancing for example, then you're gonna be blanking out in the face and maybe not thinking about your artistic expression. Meanwhile, if your more confident in your abilities, your more focused on making a show therefore you may be exuding better stage awareness and stage presence. (my first point is mostly informed by everglow up lol).
Yujin is just magnetic. My eyes are always drawn to her. She commands the stage every time she's on it! Chaewon, Yunjin and LeSserafim in general are such a fun group to watch. They have good chemistry and seem to enjoy performing, especially Yunjin. Great video, dude! I enjoyed hearing your thoughts on stage presence. 💜
Thank you for yujin appreciation. She's literally the one of the best all rounder idols in 4th gen and yet she's really underrated. It's pissing me off so bad just because she's from IVE (the most hated gg right now for no fvcking reason) and just because IVE's concept is elegant unlike most of the girl groups who has hardcore choreography, people started to talk shit about how weak performer is IVE. People literally forget that yujin is an IZ*ONE member that also had a hard choreos. I'd still remember when all the gg rookies had a collab at MAMA 2022, all the other fandoms started to talk shit IVE, saying things like "how IVE members is going to dance O.O, fearless, hype boy, and wadada? they're such a weak performer", "they can't dance a hardcore choreo cause they will break their bones, especially wonyoung". But at the end, the one who's got viral are all the IVE members, especially Yujin and Gaeul. Well, I guess that at least the koreans appreciate her more than the inter kpop stan. I mean the koreans literally call her ahn sequence and ahn kitsch.
It's crazy because Yujin and Wonyoung get hated for such absolute nonsense and called weak dancers and vocalists but these critics conveniently forget that they were fine in Iz*one??? Secret Story of the Swan is a HARD dance but apparently Ive's concept erased everything they've ever done. I'm not a stan but I look up Yujin fancams, she's such a mesmerizing performer.
@@strawberryinsomnia9188 THAT IS WHAT I'M SAYING. People didn't call yujin as ahn sequence and ahn kitsh for nothing. All the hate that ive got is so crazy and disgusting, the girls literally never did anything problematic but the got more hates than the actual problematic idols. And what's makes me even more angry is that those kpop stan always start the unnecessary hate. But when dive try to defend the girls, those kpop stan start to playing victim, gaslighting everyone and saying dive start it first. "it's a joke", "dive is so sensitive", "i love ive, but...", "i love ive, but not the fandom" or "dive is so toxic". All the hates that ive got ever since debut up until now, and those people expect that dive will just stay quite and do nothing? Bfr 💀
appreciate the BTS and Jungkook love, it feels like they’re overhated by other stans because of how popular they got. plus you’ve introduced me to some other groups’ performances that I’m going to watch after this 🥳
BTS is so absolutely not overhated. They just have more fans (number-wise) so even if they only have like 0.5% the number of haters that's still a lot of people. Same with toxic fans, a small percentage of a huge number is still a pretty large absolute number, especially when there are a lot of young and reactionary fans. It also doesn't help that if you don't stan them you might just be annoyed by the constant presence of enthusiastic Armys in every corner of every kpop space. All this goes for Blinks too, the big fandoms = magnification of everything else. If like, Fromis_9 blew up to that degree they'd have the same issue, but it wouldn't mean overhating; Ive is a good example of *actual* overhating.
@@strawberryinsomnia9188 I mean over-hated by non army. If you don’t stan BTS or aren’t a multi they get hate from other fandoms and the gp lol. And I agree that IVE is also overhated- both can be true.
Live vocals become more valuable to me when evaluating stage presence partially because of its rareness in the industry but largely because the raw emotion and energy that can only be conveyed through live vocalization helps me connect to the artist and elevates the performance that much more. These people CAN sing, they just don't for various reasons which ARE valid but just unfortunate and I wish live vocals can come back.
Chaewon never fails to steal my attention when I go into a performance with the intention to look out for another member. She has proved her versatility and she's a fantastic performer! I absolutely agree with all of your points and examples (most of them are known for dancing and I concur that dancers oftentimes know how to contort their bodies to draw the audience's attention which is why it may play such a large role, but it is not a defining trait as there are idols who can't dance as well but maintain phenomenal stage presence).
Yujin is UNBELIEVABLE. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her perform Eleven. And I’ve been following K-pop since DBSK!
YES Jungkook appreciation!! I think in the fandom just sometimes forget the good performer he IS just because he's popular, but this man is always gonna give his 110% on stage and vocals, and you can see how much he enjoy doing that
Also the fact that in concerts even if he is tired, he still always gonna give live vocals
so i just waiting for his tour
Your picks are literally chef's kiss! Esp Siyeon, she's not talked about enough!! Great video!
@pruit v3 DAMN Why you hating lol
@pruit v3 ?????????
@pruit v3 Lmao 😂😂 I’m not everglow up sooo
Something is wrong with you lol
Bts's stage presence is the standard for me . I mean evey member of bts could be a soloist if the wanted too . Even jin who doesn't have the greatest dancing skills, still have a certain aura on stage . For me he is one of those who doesn't need an overly performed song to make a performance enjoyable. And about the jimin situation I believe that this man doesn't have anything to proove to anyone . One bad ENCORE STAGE can't erase all his years of hard work
About the Jimin one, it wasn't about the encore anymore, encore was just an excuse for vile people to hate him more, people literally sent him death and r**e threats, the Jimin situation literally taught me how digusting and vile people are and how much they hate Jimin, its sad really🙁
@@BELIEVER78989 they were pretty much waiting for a moment
100% agree
@@BELIEVER78989 I swear, just a bunch of bullies waiting for BTS to make a mistake.
@@opal_escences I swear its always Army and BTS against the whole kpop community, the other fandoms want to bring down BTS so bad its crazy, they will resort to any level to tear Bangtan down, its just pure jealousy at this point, anyway BTS ain't going anywhere they are here to stay and rule😌
This is a big reason I LOVE ATEEZ. They do not lack when it comes to stage presence. Every step of the way. Some of rhe best I've seen
SEVENTEEN consistently surprise me with their performances. They always give it their all, and are always energetic and fun to watch with each song and performance. To me, stage presence is all about whom I enjoy the most whilst performing. And SEVENTEEN might be the only group (for me) wherein I have fun watching each member. You have such versatility in that group. From hard hitting energetic performances coming from Hoshi, Dino, S.Coups and DK; to having graceful and smooth dancers like The8, Jun, Jeonghan, Woozi and Seungkhwan. Facial expressions and crowd-work are also extremely important, and to me Mingyu and Vernon are best at it. Joshua and Wonwoo have more reserved stage presence, but their movements are always sharp and on point making it fun to watch. I do have my favourites in the group, but overall they're a team that has never let me down when it comes to performances and vocals. My favourite being BSS at the Circle chart awards. Their energy, the creativity of the stage, the live vocals, the interaction, the crowd-work, the set and even the dancing. It was all perfect. Overall, I think (IMO) SEVENTEEN are some of the best performers in Kpop.
EDIT: If anyone has not seen SEVENTEEN's dance practice for 'Super' then please do watch it because it will blow your little mind into a million pieces. It is one of the best mega-crew kpop group performances I have seen in a long time. I remember when they released Don Quioxte and people were mad because the dancers weren't as in-synch with the members, and now there are like 30-50 fucking people all in synch dancing in a basketball court it is insane. Here is the link watch it: th-cam.com/video/TiMqP2SU7MA/w-d-xo.html
Tbh, bts are on an other level when it comes to stage presence, their skills + their alchemy on stage pls, no one does it like them, for 10 years, they never stopped being that good. And to me their talent is not limited to the kpop industry but to the music industry in general
Army are wired to not give Jungkook individual prizes.
@@bee12117 what does it has to do with op comment
@@aloowalia2849 This video talks spcificly about Jungkook stage presence but there is has to be always that one or ten comments about whole BTS. It was video about Jungkook giving arguments why HE has stong stage presnce not whole BTS. About how HE can sing and dance at the same time the best not whole BTS. Like HE is perfect center not whole BTS.
Do you get it? Every time Jungkook is prised solo there is imidietly a comment about like "thay all are". No. They are not. Not all of them are singers, not all of them are rappers not all of them are dnacers. They are not clones.
That's what my commnet is about. The impossible task for army to prise Jungkook individualy.
@@bee12117 the video highlighted INDIVIDUAL IDOLS as HIS MOST favorite one it doesn't mean others don't have stage presence. I don't think you watched the video, he even said that jungkook's stage presence is also very highlighted cuz he has amazing chemistry with the others in the group, not only that he is an all rounder. You have people in the comments praising lesserafim and dreamcatcher stage presence yet the video highlighted Siyeon, chaewon and yunjin only, and i don't see annoying ass solo stan taking it to heart. This is a comment talking about bts under a video about what stage presence is, using different examples of idols with stage presence, not groups. If people wanna talk about groups, THEY CAN. ITS A COMMENT SECTION. So go TOUCH GRASS.
@@bee12117 but when I talk about BTS I talk about everyone including Jungkook so?? Pls solo stans free us. Also in the video he is talking about everyone in BTS too so shut up thanks
Jungkook is the best performer in my heart. His expression is so versatile and he hardly puts out anything less than 300% even during rehearsal. He dances and lives with passion and we all know man cannot live a day without singing😊
I know Dreamcatcher is one of your ult groups, so seeing Siyeon highlighted is expected, but I'm still happy at the inclusion. Seeing them live is an absolute treat. They really know how to build the audience energy, especially Siyeon.
ATEEZ really sets the stage presence high for me. Watching other groups performance after watching ATEEZ is not a good idea because ATEEZ is that good performing songs with their own individual styles and engaging with the crowds.
For real, Ateez reminds me towards B.A.P
G DRAGON KING -
Literally. The most specific example of this for me was the Kingdom finale. ATEEZ was chosen to perform first so they performed The Real and quite literally slayed the house down. The problem was after that everyone else seemed to pale in comparison. The next day I could barely remember any of the other songs:/
I’m honestly not trying to hate on any of these groups. I grew to love and appreciate all of them while watching the show. They’re all great performers but ATEEZ is on a whole different level
BTS’ stage presence and performances are just unmatched to any kpop group out there!!! They are this generations best performers period!!! They are the ones that literally made performance and stage presence the prime factor for Kpop if we are being honest here!!! From amazing award show performances (being the instigators of bringing tens of dancers with them to decorate their legendary stages) to elaborate concerts, Halloween dance practices(which they were the first) and many more content that revolves around them performing!!! They made performing and having stage presence the main key point for Kpop!!!
EXACTLY !!!!
bts are some of the most natural, best performers of our generation in world music in general, not just kpop.
Unmatched? Bigbang exists, they don't even dance in their concerts
@@MrRdlv That's just how that person feels. You don't have to agree with what she or he said. People have each their own opinions so don't take everything too personally. You can think the opposite without feeling hurt by her or his points
@Riduch Bigbang could give a performance like BTS in MMA 2018 and MMA 2019 for a mere award show, mind you, then we can talk. Just because Bigbang debuted first doesn't make them better than bts :)
Thank you for another great video! Your Bts Jungkook section brought tears to my eyes.. Thank you for the appreciation 🙏 In an era where Ktubers don't really want/care/dare to talk about BTS, either out of fear of backlash or their mindset is "Bts is too mainstream/popular to even talk about nowadays", you constantly point out that BTS actually got there thanks to their love for music and performance, insanely hard work and perfecting the craft. And the grand finale, the "So what" segment, got me all emotional - super nice editing of the segment. Again, thank you! And omg, all other performers you mentioned, I AGREE 💯!
Yujin will always be my girl but seeing Dosie finally getting her flowers makes me so happy, you have no idea. One of her memeM fancams was my absolute favorite performance of last year and she's just been quietly killing it right since debut. She's one of the very, very few people who can pull off the whole subtle, understated, ice queen style without being boring and plain.
Fantastic video, by the way. Your list is top tier.
I’m so glad you brought out Dosie like she is SUCH A SOFT CHARISMATIC PERFORMER. I literally don’t know how else to describe her performance quality. Also Ireh is also a very strong performer as well.
J-HOPE is fucking amazing
I’m happy to see many appreciation comments for BTS’ performances. Even if you are not an Army I think many will agree that BTS always put 200% into every performance. They respect the art and their audience so much. They have a deep passion for their craft and it shows. They are professionals.
Edit: also just want to say I’m so proud of jungkookie. So so so proud that part of him the video made me tear up💜
My favorite kpop performers:
Yujin (IVE): she is my bias wrecker, She has alot of energy and dancing skills. This girl knows how to move her arms with the music while she sings.
Jungkook (BTS): He is the best relationship to the stage. Jungkook has the most amazing voice and he's facial expressions are so good. He's also a good dancer. Jungkook used his voice in live performances in the debut in the US he was amazing in live singing. I didn't see alot of Dance practice videos for BTS but I will this summer. Jungkook is a male siren he is the GOAT in BTS. Did i mention he's my bias?
Woozi (Seventeen): Woozi is the shortest member of the group but I don't care I love his voice. He's adorable and he love to sing and dance and it shows. I'm not a fan of Seventeen but I'm not denying the stage presence of this group. Woozi's voice is so beautiful not as good as Jungkook but i like it. He has a solo debut song called Ruby and it's in English. It's big booty bop! Woozi is my bias in Seventeen because of this song.
Hyunbin (Tri•be): Hyunbin is from one of the most underrated kpop groups is my bias. I love her facial expressions and her voice is top notch she's also a rapper so she's an amazing rapper and a great dancer. When she raps its electrified the performances. Tri•be is similar to red velvet they do girl crush in Doom Doom ta and They sometimes do cute like the buh buh song. Its also theme song of We baby bears. Hyunbin has a plethora of hair colors i can't remember them but the hairstyles and colors she has made her stage presence even better. But it also damages her hair.
Lisa (Blackpink): Lisa is my ultimate bias. She is one of the four all rounders in the group. Lisa is the Queen of Stage Presence in my opinion, Lisa is the dance prodigy she was dancing as she was little. Her facial expressions are the best and her dancing rivals any main dancer. Being a woman from Thailand isn't easy because racism, but it's not bring her down. She even has a hidden talent of memorizing other dances. She's also the lead rapper her raps are the best. Someone must have taught her how to rap. Lisa is good at singing too especially on live. Her live vocals are amazing.
Psy (soloist): He is the man that made me loved Kpop. He is the dance king with his song Gangnam style Psy made everyone dance he also showed his over the top facial expressions and rapping. He command the stage like it's nothing. He is the GOAT in Kpop.
HyunA (Soloist): HyunA is the Lady Gaga of Kpop because she dresses werid like Lady Gaga but they both used their werid fashion sense to elevate their stage presence. HyunA is a dancer, rapper, and singer. She was a member of 4mintue and Wonder girls. Her dancing unlike any other. Her style of dance is not for everyone but I love it and her voice is honey to my ears. She's a souceress of the stage and lives to perform.
If you do end up seeing dance practices for BTS I recommend ‘BTS - Run BTS’ as no. 1. Just mind blowing.
I have the same opinion i will just add taemin,hyolyn(sistar),jihyo(twice),chungha,somin(kard),rosé and jennie (blackpink),Cl(2ne1),Dawn,yujin ,yunjin ,hoshi ...and more
I really think Jungkook is a 'crazy genius' kind of talent. Like, getting scouted by so many agencies, his future is set for him already. If he pick the most popular company at that time no one is going to question his decision. Past Bighit is basically a 'sinking ship' no matter how you look at it. It doesn't matter how talented the artists when the platform is not stable it'll be hard for anyone to stand up. BUT NO the young Jungkook still decided to gamble and choose THE sinking ship.
It was a blessing in disguise for him and the tannies but personally, I cannot imagine having THAT much confidence in myself. Even up to this day, the dude is still head over heels enamored w his 'Namjoon hyung' 😂
Edit: also, another thing to acknowledge is the attitude of the rest of the members in general. Jungkook is the youngest of the group w a 2 years gap between him and Taehyung- PLUS, Jimin and Tae used to be the unseparated twinnies/95z duo- so no wonder they baby Jungkook a lot. The overflowing support and encouragement they gave him ever since his debut really shaped him as an exceptional artist now.
You feel the love/genuine care of bts for their maknae and Jungkook as well care/supports his hyungs. What a healthy relationship...
yujin, chaewon and yunjin- those girls are just
They are among the gods of stage presence
True, love those 3, esp Yunjin
Great video!! We're so lucky to have witnessed Yujin develop into such a phenomenal performer dude, from PD48 to IZ*ONE to IVE... she's never ceased to impress me more and more with every comeback... and she's only 19 lmao. All the people you mentioned are amazing too btw, some of my personal favs off the top of my head are Yujin (IVE), Hoshi/Dino (SVT), U-Kwon (Block B), Minjae (MCND), Yoojung (Weki Meki), & Ryujin (Itzy). I'm also very much looking forward to Gunwook of ZB1 debuting because his stage presence blew me away on Boys Planet!!!
Yes!!!! Yujin is the definition of stage precense
Jungkook really is the full package of talents, looks, dedication and stage presence....he is the center of the biggest band on the planet for a reason
Another great performer I would like to point out, that to me seems to be born to perform on stage but also continuously works hard is Kyujin from Nmixx. She debuted when she was 15 but even then, I already thought she was Nmixx's best performer and had some of the best stage presence I had ever seen from a rookie idol. Nowadays I do have to say my favourite performer in the group is Haewon but Kyujin still is amazing and is still only 16 years old.
Fans that went to their recent concerts also said that they were surprised how captivating and sure of herself Kyujin was on stage. I'm really looking forward to her development over the years bc I think she will improve even more.
Kyujin and Jiwoo are my favorite performers from NMIXX! They always look like they're enjoying themselves and they have so much energy. :)
No cause JK from BTS is one of those few idols that I could say is an actual ace (besides Seulgi, in my opinion).
For me ATEEZ does it best and in a unique way. Their not afraid to get down, be weird, make odd facial expressions ,be hot, cute, sexy ,u name it. All while singing and dancing the way they do. I saw them live in december and foe 3h it was just pure entertainment and i teared up because i grew up watching Michael Jackson and it was really bringing me back. One thing was thay they knew hoe ro animate the crowd. Get us hype. Not one second was boring
"They're not afraid" is HUGE because they had nothing. You felt their desperation and like they were leaving everything on stage and that gives them such a feeling of genuineness that really gets you invested.
Whenever i hear stage presence my mind immediately goes to j-hope..aside from being a really great artist and dancer he is a phenomenal performer..his lollapalooza performance was for the books!! i totally believe he is the performer of the generation !
Very true ❤️
Spot on analysis.
The performance aspect of Kpop is one of the most significant factors contributing to its popularity in the global market. Look at LSF, many people became their fans after LSF just slayed every performance in the year-end music award shows. On the other hand, Jpop idol groups have not been able to gain as much popularity partly because their performance level is relatively low. When Sakura started her idol career in Korea, one of the most difficult things for her was that she had never received training at the level of Korean idol trainees in Japan
Although Chaewon had great potential during her time in IZ*ONE, I believe that she was not able to fully demonstrate her abilities due to the performance style that IZ*ONE followed. It was difficult for anyone to stand out among 12 members. I am amazed by Chaewon’s transformation, and I find it surprising that some IZ*ONE fans got upset when you mentioned it. However, given how fandoms work, I suppose it's not entirely unexpected. I believe that the concept and style of Le Sserafim have allowed Chaewon to fully realize her potential and who she really is as a performer. I still remember the first time I saw Chaewon's facial expression during the MAMA Dress Rehearsal; it made me think that she was a completely different person from her IZ*ONE days.
Moreover, I think that Kazuha currently has the highest potential among the members of Le Sserafim. Considering her limited experience and training of only about a year, I believe that she has the most room for growth among the group members.
100% agree with Jungkook being THE standard for all-rounder. The word all-rounder were thrown so much nowadays it almost lost its meaning.
In my opinion, Ningning, Karina, Hyewoo NMIXX and Mia Everglow are honestly the only 4th gen who honestly could be called all-rounder.
For me in ggs only best performers are:
Itzy
Blackpink
Twice(only half of members)
For boy groups:
BTS ( Jhope is really on extreme level)
Stray kids
Seventeen
I think nobody can deny BTS's group stage presence is probably the best in kpop. But also they have a strong arguement for having 4 of the best male performers ever in kpop with Jhope, Jungkook, V/Taehyung and Jimin. They can all be considered in the list of the top 10 best performers ever in kpop and I wont be surprised.
maybe one of the best but i wouldn’t say they’re THE best
@@aeongies Well they're THE best performers in my opinion but you can have another group whose performances you enjoy more. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.
@@aeongies No offence but BlackPink are overly hyped for their Sp
@@Ha-young_is_Just_Too_Fine no one mentioned blackpink...?
@@Ha-young_is_Just_Too_Fine i never even mentioned blackpink lmao
Too be honest, I think Jihyo and Moon Sua are also some of the best idols at stage presence. I feel like moon sua has a very interesting stage presence type. She kind of just takes up the whole stage. I feel like she’s overlooked, mainly because of Tsuki and don’t get me wrong, Tsuki is a amazing performer, but something about moon sua’s diverse facial expressions, clean dancing and flawless live vocals and rapping that makes her stick out. She’s got charisma, but she can also be cute. I think moon sua could honestly just become more of a powerhouse performer further in her career.
I think one of the main reason stage presence is considered necessity in kpop bc most of these idols are not considered artist but rather performers bc they do not produce or write their own songs or even contribute to it, of course there are some exceptions but most of them just do what their agency give them so the least a fan can expect them is to sing it and perform it perfectly, as most idols stick to lip syncing these days stage presence and dancing has become the only 2 things that we can enjoy live, So we expect them to be good at it.
the basketball analogy is so true. jk fr is the gold standard of what an "all rounder" idol truly is. all rounder as a term gets thrown around and attached to idols way to much nowadays and its kinda unfair. because if you compare some of these quote unquote "all rounders" to jk it becomes so painfully clear how much of a cheat code he is as an idol. if the idol industry was truly like the nba where idols could get traded from group to group, jk would have the biggest trade value of not just bts but any idol ever. companies would genuinely disband groups just to trade for him. it would be nuts
I really enjoyed the video💜..... it was waiting for this video eagerly, also my favorite performers are BTS, TXT and lessarafim
YUJIN is my favorite performer too!
I look forward to when she makes her solo debut someday!!
Jk is a beast you can put him in any setting he will deliver never see an idol this good in so many areas
Thank you for including Dosie in this video, I'm so glad! I never expect kpop video essays to include Purple Kiss, but they totally deserve it. Especially in conversations about performance and stage presence! I hope one day Dosie gets more appreciation and receives the it-girl status that she has clearly deserved since debut.
What I don’t understand is how people pay hundreds of dollars for concert tickets and they KNOW the artists is lip-synching, that will always be a big No No for me, i can’t rock with any performer that can’t sing live, and the only reason people dog piled on Jimin was because he’s in BTS, when you sing live you’re gonna have bad days, it happens to the best, the hate & jealousy K-pop stans have for that group is crazy
plenty of groups have been mocked for their encore stages, not just bts. for example, momo from twice’s infamous alcohol free encore performance. and just the other day sakura was being slandered for her vocals in le sserafim’s unforgiven encore. equally, what else can you expect? bts are the biggest kpop group and currently have over a decade of experience, of course people are going to hold them to higher standards. i’m not saying it’s right to be harsher on them but it’s definitely to be expected.
May be so many fandoms were harsh to army because army have been quite annoying and disrespectful to other artists. What goes around comes around.
It's always comes as a shock to armies but a lot of people including kpop fans really don't care about bts.
It's okay. Not everyone has to like the things you do.
@@loyisad1211How old are u and what the hell are you talking about? Do you think attacking Jimin or any other idol/celebrity is hurting the random people that makeup their fandoms? That individual is THE ONE who is being ridiculed and harassed. I’m taking about the PERSON and your focus a fandom, please go touch some grass. Also if someone you do or don’t know, got you in your feelings to where you’re liking or writing hateful comments about them trust me you “CARE” a lot
@@loyisad1211 you're not just 'being harsh' to army to 'get back at them', you're being harsh to the artist, jimin, who has nothing to do with the bullshit fans throw at each other. i dont see a lot of army being toxic (i dont use twitter lol) but how is it justified to throw that toxicity back and forth between any fandoms? thats just childish, be the bigger person and move on. its not okay to send hate and threats to an idol just because you don't like what some random person on the internet said about your fav. an eye for an eye...
@@loyisad1211 Thats childish and stupid. I wont ever deny the bad things that many Armys have done and are continuing to do to other idols, fandoms and artist, however! If you are hating on Jimin you are not getting back at Army, you are hating on a person that hasnt done anything to deserve the hate. How can you complain about people being hateful but then go and justify the same kind of hate?
Also many, MANY kpop fans have a lot of care in BTS. Not nessesarly in apositive way tho. People love to ignore BTS when it comes to their achivments but then dunck in their noeses when it comes to controversies.
Hybe really has the best performers right now. BTS are obviously insane on stage both as a group and individually. Even their members who aren't technically the best at dancing still shine on stage and are able to keep up with the great dancers of the group, which is a talent in itself. Imagine never having danced before and suddenly having to keep pace with Jimin and J-hope, two of the best dancers in kpop ever; RM, Jin, and Suga have all stepped up to the challenge and have created great chemistry on stage with the dance line despite their lack of dance experience. Despite what antis insist, BTS's live vocals are incredible. The vocal line shines and the rap line stuns in concert. One shitty Like Crazy encore be damned, Jimin can sing and he sings well, and I won't let anyone tell me otherwise. I've heard that man in concert, and he's got some pipes on him.
TXT as a unit are incredible performers. Yeonjun has crazy stage presence and there's a reason he was famous amongst the trainees for being great. Le Sserafim are show-stopping, spunky performers, even in their group's infancy. Chaewon and Yunjin are fucking fantastic and stand out to me the most, but all of the girls are great. I'd love to see more live vocals from them though. Seventeen are known to be great dancers and with as many members as they have, it's so impressive that they're so in tune with each other on stage. Some groups fall apart with only 4-5 members, so being that coordinated with 13 members is crazy. New Jeans have such cutesy, bubbly stages, and I they'll only improve as time goes on. For how young some of them are, what they're doing is really impressive. I don't know much about Fromis_9 or Enhypen, but I'm sure they're able to hold their own as well. But yeah, in terms of stage presence, Hybe dominates for sure.
Imo, vast majority of acts either do not get the oppurtunity, or may not have a prospective skill in having a personal artistic arc. Especially considering how in kpop, the expected release frequency is far higher than normative standard in other industries.
In the 1st and 2nd gen you barely even got to see much of the idols personality besides the variety shows they did. But even today, the only space you get to see each idols individual performative and artistic skills is on stage. Also for groups that have less artistic freedom, the stage presence becomes the atributing factor to the vibe, the concept and the message a group would like to give. Say blackpink. The instant association to women empowerment, girl power etc. came majorly from the style the girls were trained (and ofc a certain natural aura they exude). The only issue is, when a group is primarily dependent on stage presence, it is very easy to fall flat. Especially, a few consecutive errors or lack of passion. Its also easy for an idol to be boxed. Idols called pick me, fake and what not.
Besides, endeavors that can be sociopolitical can easily be judged by the public as to why a group whose messaging is framed by a company is now becoming puppets in such platforms (the public reception to aespa's UN endeavor is a good example).
Whereas, a group has freedom and the skills to write (or some groups may not be lyrically strong but make unique music like red velvet) and make a legacy for themselves; Even with no choreo, and just a simple mic, the stage just becomes one more platform for an audience to feel the true essence of the message or the concept a group stands for. Thats the nuance stage presence holds.
I appreciate your take💜
Surprised people now are just seeing Chaewon’s sp. saying she has grown to be this person is weird to me because she’s never not been amazing. I remeber In “fiesta” era, when she changed her hair and hair color, I instantly saw her presence. So happy to see the love and appreciation for the amazing performer she’s always been in.
In Izone she was heavily overshadowed by Eunbi, Yujin, Wonyoung
Even Sakura she may have been popular but they forced all the attention on certain member's
Even if Chaewon is one of the most talented their she was not in spotlight compared to 3 mentioned above.
Like sadly Minju and Hyewon were more on their look's than anything else
Imo the less appreciated member's are for sure Chaewon, Nako, Hitomi, sometimes Chaeyeon too, even Sakura can be listed here the other's mainly garnered all the attention due to company of IZONE
Dreamcatcher as a whole are amazing performers live, but siyeon especially just ugh 😭😍 Ive seen them live three times now and they are by far my fav kpop group to see in concert. Their shows are simpler and lower budget in comparison to companies from bigger groups but they’re so fun and the talent is overflowing!
Gonna be yet another loudspeaker for Ateez lol I only really got heavy into stanning them last year, when a friend of mine had an extra ticket to their concert and asked me to tag along. I had only heard deja vu from them at that point, but the concert was in the city we lived in, and hey, I won’t turn down an impromptu chance at a concert!
Holy shit, dude. I walked in there knowing one song, and walked out ready to look up their whole discography and variety show appearances. Their music is great, don’t get me wrong, but their *stage presence* was unreal. We were in nosebleed seats, and I was still transfixed. I consider myself very fortunate to have had the chance to see them live, especially with how much they’ve grown this past year (and how expensive their tickets are now lol). It was genuinely a life-changing experience that sent me fully back down the K-pop rabbit hole after having nearly crawled out during 4th gen lmfao
Well done presentation! When it comes to choosing my biases the thing I pay most attention to is their stage presence and performance over all. Hyunjin is my all time bias in Kpop because of his intense and incredible stage performing, presence, facial expressions and dancing skills 👏🏻
I even made a whole playlist because you just can’t get enough of watching him perform on stage.
Bts are also my favorite group when it comes to stage presence, they just know how to hype everyone up and it’s so much fun!
I love Monsta X as performers, for me, they just kill it every time. There is a Chinese artist called Hua Chenyu, and to me he is the best performer I've ever seen. Even if I don't always vibe with BTS' music anymore they are undeniable performers. It's kind of funny, when I watch western artists' music videos or performances man, you can really tell the difference for a lot of them, they just looks so uncharasmatic. Reads very "I'm here for a paycheque, and then I'm out". Maybe I'm just watching the wrong people though, but I feel like it's been a while in the western world since there has been a true performer... maybe Harry Styles? but I don't know.
I wanna add that although I'm not an atiny I was mesmerized by Ateez in MAMA 2019 I was so hyped by them and it was like 5 am 😭they are great. Also TXT is very good in my opinion, in MAMA 2020 they did a zumba type of dance and it was different but so fun. anyways there's a bunch of talented performers but those two groups are at a very high level💖 not that they're the only groups that are amazing btw
Thank you for giving Dosie some praise. I totally agree with all your other choices, but Dosie and Chaewon especially would make it on my list.
I would also like to highlight Han Jisung from Stray Kids. I love watching him perform. Like Chaewon he is just a lot of fun to watch. Always smiling, great energy and versatile facial expressions. One of my favorite performers for sure!
The Yujin being a siren thing immediately made me think of Eva Green and it's uncanny how similar both of them are in terms of captivity and aura.
For me Siyeon is THE definition of stage presence. All of Dreamcatcher really, specially with the fact that each of their SP is so different.
I've always think that Kpop idols are more "performers" than they are actual singers or dancers, I'm not saying they don't do these things at an amazing level, because they do. But the main product they sell is the performances, and the music and the choreo are just elements to that product. It's more like the sum of the parts than the parts themselves. That's why sometimes you hear a song that is just okay, but you look at the MV or at the music show performance and suddenly even the songs sounds better.
Great video!
Siyeon also has monstrously good vocals (MR removed videos prove she sings LIVE live, along with Gahyeon who is consistently insanely stable) and could genuinely front a band and have her voice stand up to scrutiny without a backing track or dancing or glamorous camera angles, which is so incredibly rare among idols. She might not be Floor Jansen, but she's at that kind of level in terms of kpop-only standards.
@@strawberryinsomnia9188 Yes! Agree completely.
The moment I saw you mentioned Floor made me realize we're best friends now. No other way around it.
I NEED a Floor and Siyeon collaboration song, btw. Can you imagine the power!?
Aww man, I was kinda hoping you'd include Hyunjin from SKZ lol, his stage presence, imo is just chef's kiss haha but I strongly agree with the idols you included
The irony is… IVE sang live more than both Lesserafim and New Jeans in 2022. Somehow IVE were the face of those accusations
that is because ive isn't from big companies while lsf and NJ are from hybe. if ive coming from big companies esp hybe, people gonna praise them for everything
IVE performed at Seijong University on May 17th.
Yujin's performance 'Kitsch' is really great🔥🔥❤️❤️
On this day, Bang Chan apologized…
my personal favorite performer is hongjoong idk that man was simply born to be on stage, you watch any fancam or performance of his and every second he's delivering amazing expressions, charisma, energy. he's simply such a joy to watch 😭🤍
i did NOT expect to see Dosie here but im so excited she is!! i think as a group they have so much presence but i agree that she just takes the cake, she sells me on every single performance. She has so much power and she commands the stage so well. Im excited to see Purple Kiss flourish and grow even more as time goes on.
Chaewon and Yujin 🔥🔥😍😍💯💯
Ahn yujin being appreciated for her stage presence?!!....yes!!! I'm in!!!!!
With all due respect, I believe stage presence is independent of any other performance aspects such as dancing, singing, etc. This why Kpop stans nowadays are so messy when describing the "stage presence" of their bias and their anti-bias.
Stage presence of an individual is the quality and manner by which one demands attention from audiences and manifest authority on the stage, regardless of the exhibition. Meaning, even if one is just standing on the stage as a tableau, or sitting down while singing, or dancing throughout the whole platform, or just making a stage gag, that individual can still command stage presence because as you have said that it is inherently subjective. The moment majority of the audiences' focus are drawn with awe to what the individual is doing on stage, that is the moment where stage presence manifest its very nature.
Yeah I can see that point of view, but my rebuttal to that would be, if an idol performing, halazia for example, was standing still on stage, making some facial expressions, would that really be considered "stage presence" in kpop? I feel like singing and dancing in kpop specifically add to this, which is why I distinguished what it was to open the video.
I believe stage presence in kpop specifically is a culmination of everything, because if you remove the dancing and singing, you get someone awkwardly winking standing on stage, and is that really what stage presence is? I guess it's up to the person to decide.
@@Taejiu As I've mentioned above, the moment majority of the audiences' attention were drawn "with awe", regardless of performance, stage presence is being exhibited. So in the case you presented, it would be a "yes" if attention is commanded and instill awe.
You see, ai believe many of kpop stan is missing the point that stage presence is independent of idol skills. For example, a new Kpop stan without even knowing about BIGBANG, would immediately know who amongst the five have best stage presence 3 seconds from when they enter the stage without them dancing or singing, just standing or walking. I hope you get what I mean.
But of course, I also get what you are saying, and for so long now. More and more stans are starting to mix stage presence with the outstanding skills of idols. And therefore the quality of stage presence will be diluted with how good the skillset of the idols possess because that is what the majority believes and stage presence is "inherently subjective".
I'm also of the opinions that singing and dancing doesn't equate to great stage presence. I think they help the performance but they aren't major the reasons why they are great even in kpop. In my opinion; persona, aura and facial expressions that determine great stage presence.
You gave halazia as an example. We can all agree that halazia has a great choreography and the live singing really added to it but the performance wasn't fantastic because of only these. All Ateez member took up a character to portray for the song to really come alive. Wooyoung had the best dance execution but Seonghwa had the best stage presence for that era, Yeosang also brought out an aggression we have never seen from him. Their singing and dancing could only take them so far. They're desperation, hopefulnessand almost numbness was seen through their facial expressions and auras. Halazia dance structure also going against how Ateez dances with them focusing more on uniformity and synchronisation then before and without their individual personas the performance could have fallen flat due to it's difference in dance structure.
The stage presence was in the little things, change of emotional in their eyes, faces. Seonghwa for example had a 2 conflicting emotions happening during different parts of the dance. He would go from strong general and god like being to an emotional wreck by the time Jongho's chorus kicked it, making the audience feel like he was lying when he was front and center. I could really feel the pain in his eyes as the song progressed. The other members also had something to tell ( individual pov) even when the dance says something else. This really brought to live what song was trying to say.
Idols can have good stage presence without or with live sing or dancing ability. Like the commenter said 3seconds into a big bang performance can tell all that needs to said. That being said we should expect that idols than can dance well are not the best performance always, we're kinda of blindsiding ourselves by thinking this. Great dancer or singer =\= Great performer.
To the halazia question; Ateez performing halazia with all this emotions they put in their on stages while they're only singing is a bad idea. I don't even think they would performance it like that while singing. They're experienced performers and I think they would express the song like a singer and not a performer when the stage requires it.
Halazia is also a song that was produced for a performance and they know that.
Taejiu, thanks for the stage presence video. It was nice see you list of performance. Sorry for the long response and if I sound contradictory. 😁
What you described can easily be named "charisma" and just added to the mix. And charisma is probably that wow factor that gets idols accepted into companies. I remember an interview with someone who was a judge in castings and they said that they usually know whether a trainee will be accepted before the trainee even has a chance to open their mouth.
@@_aeth_ That is exactly it. Instead of stage presence being attributed with idol skills, it is more accurate to attribute stage presence with charisma. In fact, if we oversimplify, stage presence is merely one's "presence" exposed to audience scrutiny.
My favorite performers
Chaewon LESSERAFIM
Yujin IVE
Jihyo TWICE
HONGOONG ATEEZ
Agree so much about Yujin. Siren Yujin 😩🖤
I feel like people nowadays mistake facial expressions as stage presence, I mean yeah, it could be part of it, but stage presence is just something certain idols have with or without excessive facial expressions. Really good examples are CL and Hyuna, like both of these queens can just stand there, raise an eyebrow and have people screaming and frothing at the mouth. An idol that is able to pull people's undivided attention without really doing too much, for me, shows how great of a stage presence they have. Another great example of this would be Hwasa who just really pulls you in, even when you just see her silhouette before her performance starts
If idols were given a guide book, jihyo would be the headline of stage presence section
All these performers were the reason why I got attracted towards the group. I guess great stage presence also helps in attracting new audience. Apart from the one you listed I also like stage presence of Jihyo (twice), Ryunjin (itzy), taeyeog (nct), Felix (stray kids) and Soyeon (gidle).
great video as always. you should do a video ranking your top five bts comebacks/songs of all time for their 10th anniversary coming up. godspeed my dude
For me someone who has unhinged stage presence like no one can top this idol is GDRAGON, the man screams stage power the second he enters, and Taeyang and TOP are just magic on stage as well. (some other favs - CL, Bobby, B.I, Taemin, Jonghyun)
yeonjun from txt also comes to mind! whenever he is on stage i can’t keep my eyes off him
BTS are a beast on stage. A lot of people can dance, do the moves but not everyone have charisma and in the case of BTS the 7 of them have that , their expressions are amazing.They are powerful. They are not only the best performers in kpop, but also, one of the best performers in history and they gave on stage their everything during all these years.
Monsta X are literally one of the few artists surviving the lack of stage presence since debut and the day kpoppers admit monsta x was one of the few groups carrying stage presence from their generation
Kai is the kpop artist with the strongest stage presence in my opinion, whether in EXO or SuperM, my eyes will always be drawn to him. And Jungkook is definitely one of a kind, he is BTS center for a reason. Jihyo is another great one.
Very interesting how 2 performers here are former iz*one members. I can only imagine how monstrous of a group iz*one could've become today
Just watch 2NE1 or Bigbang live performances, esp concerts and festival, then you'll understand right away what we mean by stage presence
