[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do they all sing? I am not that familiar with individual Kpop groups in any kind of depth. I obviously know the famous ones by name and their beats all slap like a D to the face, so I like them when I hear them (not the ballads as much, just the dance bangers) but is it kind of like the spice girls where 1 or 2 have the voices (or Backstreet) and the others just have to desperately stay on pitch for about 10% of a song? Or is it more like a 7 person boys to men who all can do harmonies and actually sing?[/quote]

4 are singers, 3 are rappers. Each have their specialty in the group.

RM - rapper, leader
Jin - singer , visual
Suga - rapper, producer
Jhope - rapper, lead dancer
Jimin - singer, lead dancer
V - singer, visual
Jungkook - lead singer[/quote]

What does visual mean? Again I am not hating but I am just curious- does that mean they are the posh spice of the group? The Joey Fatone if you will?[/quote]

So this is kind of a quirk of k-pop. There are so many groups and some are quite large. I can think of a lot of groups with 9+ members, both boy and girl groups. The “visual” is the person who is generally considered the best looking and he/she becomes a “face of the group,” if you will. They tend to get more screen time and are offered acting roles in dramas, which then draws more attention/popularity to the group. There really isn’t a similar position in western groups because our groups are smaller and we don’t have as many groups overall. I mean there’s definitely members of western groups who are considered the best-looking but it’s not quite the same thing.

Sometimes people talk about the “center,” which started as a similar concept in girl groups, especially the larger groups with more members. But now it seems to have evolved as a term to expand to boy groups too and is now kind of the best “all-rounder” in the group who can do everything. [/quote]

OK got it.

Everything I hear by Blackpink is so good. I like how kpop songs literally are 3-4 songs crammed together, entire key and genre changes in the song one verse its r&B, the next club, the next ballad[/quote]
