From BIGBANG, SHINee to BLACKPINK, Stray Kids... K-POP x Live Bands are a staple? Thinking about the background and merits of establishment



In the past few years, K-pop groups that have performed live with live bands have been prominent. Recently, Stray Kids, who went on a world tour, TOMORROW X TOGETHER at "SUMMER SONIC 2022", and "SMTOWN LIVE 2022: SMCU EXPRESS@TOKYO" are fresh in my memory. This time, I would like to trace the transition of live bands and K-POP, and consider the background of their establishment and the merits of welcoming live bands.

Earlier this year, Stray Kids' world tour "Stray Kids 2nd World Tour 'MANIAC'" featured live band performances. For example, while one unit was preparing, the other unit sang and danced to the band's performance. I got a glimpse of the flexibility that comes from having a band.

By welcoming a live band to K-POP, which is characterized by programmed music, it goes without saying that it adds depth and power to the songs, as well as freshness. If you add a perfect dance to it, it will easily steal the hearts of the viewers.

In 2022, performances with audiences are increasing, but for fans who mainly listened to sound sources due to the corona disaster, performances with live bands should be a big shock. Currently, various K-POP groups are born, but it seems that the presence or absence of a live band will also differentiate them from other groups.
