Recently, **'s "half-open mic" and "pad" lip-to-play at the concert have been questioned.
Some netizens pointed out that "semi-open mic" and "pad sound" refer to the use of audio tracks with a backing up function as accompaniment during the performance. This ** form was initially popular in Korean singing and dancing groups, but it has only begun to spread in China in recent years, which is not only labor-saving, but also has a pretty good live effect.
Music critic Ding Taisheng made it clear that whether it is half-open or not, it is a kind of lip-synching, so all those who participate in lip-synching should be criticized accordingly.
Is "Half-open Microphone" and "Pad Tone" really lip-syncing?This is a common situation in the ** world of South Korea?What do Korean ** lovers think about this?Regarding this point, Jiupai News interviewed some senior Korean fans.
Fans have sorted out the data on the opening rate of Korean girl groups in 2022. or the Internet.
Zhou Deyi (pseudonym), who has pursued Korean groups for 16 years, revealed in Jiupai News that since 2007, she has begun to pursue Korean groups, among which the opening rate of second-generation Korean groups such as Girls' Generation and TVXQ is quite high, which also means that the public at that time had high expectations and requirements for idols.
She holds the view that the concepts of "mat sound" and "semi-open microphone" were first introduced in the era of the third and fourth generations.
At this moment, the focus of the Korean group has changed, the ability to sing is no longer absolutely necessary, the delicacy of appearance and the unity of dance are more critical, coupled with the fact that more and more teams are debuting, and the quality is easy to be inconsistent.
Fans care more about the creation of characters than strength, and they all want their favorite people to be the most beautiful and successful. Therefore, the foundation of singing and dancing is not particularly important, and even teams with excellent singing skills and a high mic opening rate may not be able to become popular, such as nmixx. ”
A veteran K-pop follower, Si Yu (pseudonym), mentioned that whether the K-pop group performs "mat sound" or "half-open mic" also depends on the occasion.
In the process of recording a TV singing program, in order to show a perfect stage, it is often the case that only dancing without turning on the microphone. However, usually only singing and dancing groups will use this method, even pure singers will open the microphone, and bands must also open the microphone to sing, such as cnblue, nflying. ”
In the year-end stage performance, the singing and dancing groups usually adopt the form of "semi-open mic", because the stage at the end of the year usually has new choreography and more intense dance, and basically only very strong teams will perform open mic real singing.
When it comes to concerts, there are usually some pad sounds. "Because the teams that can hold concerts are usually debuting for a long time, and they have improved their physical strength and strength very well. In this case, the impact of the broken tone will not be as great as the stage at the end of the year, so the case of real singing is more common. But there are also some cases of lip-syncing, which may be ridiculed by fans of other teams. ”
Siyu said that fans are very concerned about whether their favorite groups will open the microphone, and they will also make a silence with the accompaniment removed to prove that their idol is really singing, and those groups that do not open the microphone for a long time will be criticized.
In a page (pseudonym) of a vocal performance in Xi, a Korean student said that the concert must be performed in real terms, and if fans pay for it but still lip-synch, it is a matter of attitude. She believes that there is still a clear difference between lip-synching and padding. For singing and dancing singers with strong dance moves, they can choose to use pad tones. "This seems to be well known. In most people's minds, Korean singing and dancing groups seem to be good at padding, about 70% mating and 30% live singing, but singers who actually sing lyrics need to open the microphone. ”
According to public information, the feature of the full open microphone is that during the performance, the original song is not used as a harmony in the accompaniment, but the vocal part is sung completely on the spot, which is also called "real singing". The so-called lip-syncing refers to a song that is pre-recorded in a stage performance and matched with the lip shape that does not actually make a sound, which is also known as "lip-syncing".
Music critic Lo Shiwei argues that although some of the half-open mic vocals are pre-recorded, which is slightly different from lip-synching, the exact relationship between the two is still difficult to define. He added, "There are indeed differences, and the strength of the semi-open mic varies. ”
*Creator Ju Qi also mentioned in a conversation with ** that lip-synching is a concept that is difficult to define clearly, and he feels that we need to judge it according to the actual situation and the proportions used.
When the volume of the real singing reaches seventy percent, and the volume of the pad sound is thirty percent, we can be sure that this is the real singing. He points out that in the industry, the "half-open mic" and "pad" approach is often the default, especially for singers and dancers, and it is understandable that sports events can greatly affect the state of the sound.
