none taken and i hope it goes in both directions, even if that dig makes me feel like we aren't discussing in good faith lol. but i'm sorry if it seemed like i was implying iland stages had live vocals from that comment, bc they obviously don't - but idt i even mentioned anyone's singing for the last couple eps beyond an offhand comment about sunoo's voice??? i might be wrong tho

and with that said. i'm sure bts got praised for some perfs, i didn't keep up w them anymore at that point, i just know that some stages i saw were a struggle? but that's really more of an issue of certain songs being pitched too high, which ik is supposed to be impressive bc of How High It Is but i don't appreciate when my untrained ears can hear them straining.. & this happens to many groups in various companies.

and if you think this has anything to do w me being a "nctzen" you've clearly not followed me for any length of time, which.. is fair LMAO. i sometimes forget not everyone has seen everything i've said since the dawn of history! but yeah. i stan dream (and as hard as it is for ppl to believe i genuinely dgaf abt western popularity beyond wanting them to do just well enuf to still tour europe, im sad abt their loss of fanbase in asia djhfbdjbsj).. but i have and will continue to acknowledge that dream are not the most technically proficient group vocally either. this includes mentioning my bias's vocal regression and pitchiness several times lol.... some dream perfs have also been a struggle to get through
