Segue Cafe - meet up with friends to chat about whatever strikes your fancy

You know the sad thing is that all these beautiful people even Lee Je Hoon - They act so polite and they try so hard not to upset their fans! Even if the fan is in the wrong.

I know it hurts so much!!
There have been instances where these people have called out fans and that gives me so much satisfaction! Some of those crazies really need to be rebuked!

Yeah, they usually just sleep in their suits, ties, shoes and socks :joy: unless one of them has the classic get-caught-removing-your-tie scene

Hi! Iā€™ll take a hot chocolate with whipped cream please. Thank you, hot waiter!
Question for the Cafe:
So, Iā€™m new to K Pop scene. For Boy Groups, it seems majority of fans are females. Does that mean majority of fans for Girl Groups are males? Iā€™ve been watching some videos on YT and they are talking about saesang fans a lot. These are special fans? Or they are the crazy fans? They seem to be always girls from the videos I saw. Do the K Pop Girl Groups not have these saesang fans because the majority of their fans are male?

Also, I was talking with my friend about the K Pop groups and I mentioned how I am impressed with the live vocals of the groups. Everyone always sounds good live. My friend said that they use the autotune even when singing live. I said it canā€™t be true, that you canā€™t use autotune outside the studio but my friend said that the autotune can be used in performance that itā€™s hooked up to the microphones. So they sing into the microphones and then the autotune runs and the voice comes out of the speakers fixed. Does anyone know if this is true or not that you can use autotune in live performance? any info much appreciated.

@vivi_1485 is sort of our resident Kpop info girl, so Iā€™ll let her answer. However, I do know that autotune can be used live. I have no idea if any kpop artists do so, though.

Yes. I hope that the K Pop stars will make it clear that these behaviors are unacceptable. I really donā€™t understand those types of people.

Thanks for your response, @my_happy_place. Wow! So itā€™s true that you can use the autotune in live performance. Now I am a bit sad.

not reallyā€¦ except for Twice, fangirls usually outnumber fanboys in every fandom. They kinda become role models for girls.

not at all special fans. they represent the dark side of every fandom. They are crazy stalkers who disrespect celebritiesā€™ privacy and do crazy, obsessive things. They might show obsessive love or obsessive hate. Obsessive love: stalking, attempting to kidnap, hiding/getting into weird places to take photos, trying to jump on them/ get close to them, trying to obtain all their private information, sending death threats to any girl who associates with their male idol and vice versaā€¦ that sort of crazy stuff. Obsessive hate: send death threats to the celebrity, send them weird stuff by post, disfigure their photos, hold protests to have them thrown out of their group and other horrific things.
Male sasaengs can also do such things, so I think both male and female groups experience sasaengs. Male sasaengs might also try to film up a womanā€™s skirt.

You can use auto-tune live. But Iā€™m not very sure who does and who doesnā€™t use it. I believe bigger groups donā€™t use autotune, but I canā€™t be 100% sure. With most SM artists, I usually enjoy acoustic/live performances more than the studio versions, so I think they donā€™t use autotune. Iā€™m sure some of them donā€™t because Iā€™ve seen them belt out powerful notes without mics while live on Vlive or Instagram or at someoneā€™s wedding, so I know those are their real voices. They also go on variety shows where they canā€™t possibly use autotune. There have also been instances of them going off-key during a concert, probably because theyā€™ve been singing for an hour straight.

They might lip-sync to very choreo-oriented performances, though. If theyā€™re using hand-held mics, it usually means theyā€™re doing live vocals. I donā€™t know. I know they use a backing trackā€” their vocals play very softly.
Look at this oneā€¦ Baekhyun was overwhelmed with emotion and wasnā€™t able to sing his partā€¦ you can hear the very soft back track

Just a bonus: Hereā€™s the entire group trying to save Chanyeol because he forgot his linesā€” by harmonizing :joy:
