1. In 2014, Music Core declared that they would no longer allow singers to perform with AR or lip-sync.
2. Ryeowook posted on Twitter, "Fancy stage setups and good lighting are crucial for singers, just like sound systems. So, focusing solely on live performances without considering areas for enhancement feels like oppression."
3. Music Core PD said in an interview that the problem is more about how well the singers perform rather than issues with sound or microphones.
4. Ryeowook performed in Music Core along with the other Super Junior members
5. They absolutely slayed the live performanceㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They became legendary, people praised their performance and said that Ryeowook had every right to clap back at the PD.
-He's Ryeowook!!
-I wish music shows would tell viewers if a performance is lip-synced or not, just like they used to do in the old days.
-That legendary "Mamacita" eraㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yesung was absent due to military service, but Kyuhyun and Ryeowook alone just crushed it, and the other members were all above average too.
-If the sound system is bad, even if the singer sings well, it won't sound proper due to issues like lyrics being inaudible or low notes not being captured properly, resulting in the low notes being lost, and high notes sounding too sharp, making it seem like the high notes are off-pitch.
-Ryeowook was heavily criticized for clapping back at the PD's statement, but after his performance on Music Core, the reactions changed in the speed of lightㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-He's really good.
-Ryeowook sings really well.
-This reminds me of the time when my idol, who debuted over 10 years ago, used to record music shows at 4 AM...ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Yeah, I agree... When will the sound quality of Korean music shows get better? Even though they're music shows, there's been no improvement in sound quality at all...
-Wow, back then idols hardly used AR and did almost full-live performances.
-Even though music shows are broadcast every week, there's been no improvement, and at award ceremonies held once a year, they mess up the sound so much that even if the live performance is perfect, they can't get the sound right for broadcasting, so they end up lip-syncing... It's really frustrating.
-Honestly, I think the second generation has the best live performance skills. Super Junior's vocals are really diverse, and within Super Junior, Ryeowook has the best pitch control.
-Wow, I'm not even a Super Junior fan, but I love this song, so I sometimes listen to it these daysㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Ryeowook sounds really amazing live
-I hope all music shows are done live from now on... I want to see real singers' skills.
-It's funny to demand live performances when back then idols had to record at 3 or 4 in the morning.
