All K-Pop fans should be happy to see how famous it has become in recent years, but it’s possible that some old followers miss these 5 things that are disappearing in this music genre. Even if it’s for good or not, there are many beautiful traditions and different tastes.
1. Singing live: In the current times, the Korean music acts have been noticed to focus more on making difficult choreographies during stage performances than on showing their vocal abilities, leading them to become even more dependent on the backing tracks, which has been highly criticized by fans.
2. Full-length albums: In recent years, the K-Pop groups have released more single albums of 2-3 songs or mini albums of 4–7 songs due to the fact that they use fewer resources and have a quicker turn-around time compared to a full album of 8–12.
3. Variety shows: These programs used to be so important to fans because they got to know better the idols, but now many K-Pop groups have their own shows on Youtube, which prevents them from going to these productions to show their talents and share their stories with hosts.
4. Girl crush concepts: With the current popularity of the Y2K trend, many girl groups have completely forgotten this old concept with softer styles that in the past used to be very attractive.
5. Debut with set positions: In the past, the idols used to present themselves as their positions in the groups, such as leader, vocal leader, or rapper, but now this has gone away as they currently use their names, which is also positive as this gives them opportunities to explore other talents.
