Im so uncountably proud of how Yujin and Chaewon has evolved as performers since produce 48.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

BTS stage presence is incredible, always left us spechless

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

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✌🏽

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!

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!

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.

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 🥳

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

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

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

J-HOPE is fucking amazing

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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!

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).

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 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.

yujin, chaewon and yunjin- those girls are just

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.

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 💯!

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

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

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.

Your picks are literally chef's kiss! Esp Siyeon, she's not talked about enough!! Great video!

Yujin is UNBELIEVABLE. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw her perform Eleven. And I’ve been following K-pop since DBSK!

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: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/is99pLNjuLubfXU.html

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.

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 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 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.

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!!!

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.

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

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💜

The irony is… IVE sang live more than both Lesserafim and New Jeans in 2022. Somehow IVE were the face of those accusations

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

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😊

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.

Ooooo 😮😮 a 40 minute video!! I love these longer analysis videos

Yes!!!! Yujin is the definition of stage precense

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.

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.

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.

YES THANK YOU FOR SHOUTING OUT EVERGLOW-UP. I literally love her channel ❤

YUJIN is my favorite performer too! I look forward to when she makes her solo debut someday!!

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 really enjoyed the video💜..... it was waiting for this video eagerly, also my favorite performers are BTS, TXT and lessarafim

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.

Finally got around to watching this in full! You did such an amazing job with the vid! So glad that I took the time to watch it! Keep delivering the awesome content! 🙌

Yet again, such a great video✨️✨️

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.

If idols were given a guide book, jihyo would be the headline of stage presence section

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

Jk is a beast you can put him in any setting he will deliver never see an idol this good in so many areas

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 !

Would LOVE to see a part 2 of this & other fav performances that you like. This was SO interesting.

No cause JK from BTS is one of those few idols that I could say is an actual ace (besides Seulgi, in my opinion).

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.

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

You're onto something. Aside from bts and purple kiss who I haven't seen many performances of, all the other idols that you pointed out from the other groups have been the one to catch my eye whenever I watch performances. There is something magnetic about them.

im so glad you mentioned chaewon 😭😭🥹🥹 the point you made about her hair is so accurate bc even tho i never cared about izone, looking for her in old pictures of the group is hard bc the long hair rly makes her blend in. im so happy shes able to shine in lesserafim bc she is so talented!! my ult bias and bday twin 🫶🫶🫶

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 Loved this ending😅 Your Videos really need more attention i Love them

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 🔥🔥😍😍💯💯

i dont stan bts but i gotta say jungkook's stage presence is insane.

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 😭🤍

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

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

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.

Glad to see you actually taking into consideration everyone and explaining it in a normal manner and not into a convoluted system.

I didn’t now SVT much but once I started watching their dance practice and then their live stage I was so impressed, every stage is so creative and entertaining to watch. They are truly amazing.

That tangent didn't sound weird to me haha. But probably because personally I would go through similar tangents when I talk about things I'm passionate enough to do further explaining about. Great vid Taejiu.

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!

yeonjun from txt also comes to mind! whenever he is on stage i can’t keep my eyes off him

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

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!

Wow your channel is really great. You put your thoughts out well. I subbed.

Well done! Really thought I would see Soyeon mentioned here TBH.

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).

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!

Agree so much about Yujin. Siren Yujin 😩🖤

Love the video! Can I suggest to lower the volume anytime you play music? It's kinda loud compared to when you talk. It's a jumpscare anytime music comes on haha
