Did your fave group make it to the rankings?

Recently, live vocals have been a big issue in the K-pop industry. Several K-pop groups have come under fire for constantly lip-syncing or performing with shaky and unstable vocals. Some groups, such as LE SSERAFIM and ILLIT, have come under fire for being fourth- and fifth-gen leaders but showcasing shaky vocals.

However, the same cannot be said for their peers. Keep on reading to learn who was picked!

1. NMIXX

NMIXX has consistently been praised for their live vocals since their debut. Despite their difficult choreography, the members have placed substantial importance on their vocal ability, to the point that fans believe they do not need a backing track for any of their performances due to their stability.

STAYC is another girl group that earned praise for their live vocals. The group has always been considered a vocal-heavy group. While most K-pop groups have embraced choruses with little to no lyrics, STAYC's songs always have bright and melodic choruses that show off the girl group's vocals.
