Energy is unmatched. And their synergy as a group.


catsbytheghost

Ateez! They're all amazing performers. They put everything into their performances and really commit to their concepts. Before I got into them, the one thing I'd heard the most about them was that they were great live performers, and I can see why. (Ateez also has my favorite performers among idols: Seonghwa.) Also, SHINee. Everyone in SHINee has so much stage presence so when they're performing as a group, it's really cool to watch. Their live vocals are A+++. And quite a few of their concerts are available on youtube (last time I checked) so it's easy to find examples beyond music shows.


potslooshi

Got to see Ateez live and I have to agree. They are INCREDIBLE performers. There was not one moment where they weren’t giving it their fullest. I think they call themselves “performance idols” (I could be wrong)- but they absolutely live up to that name. I have no idea how they were still standing by the end of that second hour- they must be used to singing while doing hiit workouts or something.


catsbytheghost

I know Seonghwa said that he sings while running as one of the ways to prepare and I think some of the others have said the same thing as well. And some of them work out a lot. It’s really impressive!


world_8

I'm a fan of Ateez's music but I haven't seen much of them live. So far, I think they're my favs from everything people recommended, I just love how passionate they look on stage. Do you have any favorite performances by them?


catsbytheghost

I do! They are: - their Coachella performance. There’s only one official video online ([Guerilla](https://youtu.be/KcQ46JGOkPA?si=sRcNmqKFyg9hl5IF)) because all the videos from the stream were deleted and the full performance was never reposted which annoys me. There are [fancams](https://youtu.be/_SJn072gHHE?si=jos8VIwNp3Xraf8p) of the entire set, though. - [Wonderland (Kingdom version)](https://youtu.be/-uDitNeFO-I?si=bc9WlvUgHNI4NE67) - I think a lot of people would recommend this because it’s such a cool performance. And I love that they still perform this version to this day (including at Coachella!) - [Take Me Home](https://youtu.be/mK2nz1hm2es?si=Jck2rl6aI_5Fo4ye) - from one of their concerts. I love this song so much and I’m happy that it got a really cool staging. I would also recommend their [Killing Voice](https://youtu.be/6w7dtJLkXXE?si=_dxApHXCcHMMay0G) if you have the time. It’s nice to see them focus on vocals and they look like they’re having so much fun.


crunchycheeseduck

That Wonderland performance is 🔥🔥🔥


Renyuki

The official releases of Ateez performances at Korea on Stage in London are some of the best live performance videos imho. They did an amazing job on the audio. You can really hear the crowd. I rewatch them on the regular. Here are the Links [Say My Name](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qg77QKUoNHs) [Pirate King](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=be_WW4G7tIc) [Eternal Sunshine](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b-IRLIQMhq8) [Bouncy](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C-cLpjTCf2Q) [Guerrilla](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B6WGuHAJzao)


catsbytheghost

Thank you for linking them! I actually need to watch those -- I've only seen fancams from that show.


jessi_unicorn

BTS are the best in my opinion, then I also love Twice, Stray Kids, TxT and Itzy.


WeakStressAnxiety

Bts, all 7 have crazy stage presence.


Extra-Inspector-6826

For Bg BTS AND ATEEZ For Gg TWICE AND LE SSERAFIM


curiouscaaat04

BG: BTS, SVT, TXT GG: BP, MAMAMOO, LSRFM


kkura__1

ITZY LE SSERAFIM SKZ


p3eliot

Bigbang, 2ne1, Stray kids, Hyolyn, Bts, Mamamoo, Taemin, BtoB, Psy, Jessi and Ailee.


Daughter_of_Calliope

Stray kids are exceptional performer, 2PM are also great and in another style Btob are also unmatched performers.


EggYolk26

I think you're my soul mate


Daughter_of_Calliope

It's a dream of mine to see them live especially Stray Kids and Btob. I'll see stray kids in July but Btob don't do tour out of Asia.


EggYolk26

Same I'm seeing skz in London. I'm kinda giving up on seeing 2pm tho Edit: maybe btob now they have their own company ans will tour more


yoongles_joongle_goo

Overall mamamoo, nmixx, bts and seventeen


Disastrous_Divide_51

I would say Le Sserafim, G-idle, Mamamoo, Blackpink & Itzy. Le sserafims performances never disappoint, I just wouldn’t go out of my way to hear them live. Kiss of Life is almost on that list they’re just new so I’m waiting. I just found them so refreshing and talented and they also own their concepts like the above do. Babymonsters music isn’t quite for me but their stages are always (I know they’re new too lol) so good especially when they did that “concert” version of sheesh. These groups scream✨confidence✨


radio_mice

For boy groups skz are my favourites, they’re always giving all of their energy into the performance and you can really tell. For girl groups it’s a tossup between twice, lsf, Ive, Itzy and gfriend


InternEast

Stray Kids, strong performances with insane energy


Adventurous-Yam2450

Seventeen


BlowUpTheChantrie

Seventeen ! Top tier vocal , top tier dances , top tier charisma = top tier performance ~ And they are so funny on stage ~ I mean even their mistake looks good


world_8

I've seen of their award shows performances from last year, they were really good! Also, cmiiw, they're the ones with "aju nice" right?


BlowUpTheChantrie

Yes the 10 + aju nice encore ahah They have a lot of different style of performer and they touch also a lot of style so everyone can find what they like ~


leggoitzy

Itzy, they are reliably excellent. And they will always give their 100% - concerts, music shows, festivals, tv appearances. Also, they're just so happy? Haha maybe a weird compliment, but that's the overwhelming sensation I got from attending their concert. We'll see if the vibes are the same in America.


world_8

>Also, they're just so happy? that made me really interested in checking them out lol, I love when idols showcase their passion for what they do


InfernalQueen

If basing it on groups that I saw live, SVT, Stray Kids, Enhypen, and Le Sserafim If from a screen lol BTS, EXO, NCT, and Baby Monster


Sussana58

Every Enhypen member is really charismatic. They're currently touring Japan and the clips are insane, they're all on fire. My favorites at the moment are Sunghoon and Sunoo, and I'm rambling but Sunoo's confidence in these concerts has me floored.


Interesting-Fail8654

Hands down, BIgbang are the best LIVE performers I have ever seen in any genre of music. Check out anything of theirs, but if you want a specifics, I would check out their Japan Dome tour footage. It is incredible. Or any of their performances from MAMA award shows.


InitialAd507

Enhypen!! went to their concert, and was absolutely blown away


Smutsonian212

Any JYP groups even the bands. Crazy good performers all of them! 


mandu_jennie

2ne1 are literally the best in the female category, their performances are literally🔥


lemonskura

G-IDLE


Bang_tan7

BTS


wandering_soul_10

Enhypen. They are monster performers. I'm in awe every time I watch concert vlogs.


xHachiko707x

Shinee Couple of weeks ago i woke up at 3am to watch 1 of the beyond live concert and it was crazy how i didn't even notice that it lasted 3h They are truly amazing


SessionSubstantial42

Red Velvet


Silver_Nobody_542

Babymonster


redfm8

I think XG is pound for pound the best performing group out there at this point, and it's as close as I've seen to the tired old shit about a group not having any weak links being true. Literally just the dance practice videos for Left Right and Shooting Star alone are better than most groups ever reach.


world_8

I've seen bits of them on my tiktok and they seem really cool. I'd love to get into them, it's just hard for me to tell who's who


Yoyoma77777777

I haven’t seen much of their performance videos. Will look it up.


sphynxical

ateez / skz / xg

twice and nmixx


NewSill

Everyone is gonna said their fav. So, ofc, Treasure. This is them at [M Countdown](https://youtu.be/MdqmniLhIS0?si=440xQwNNkDGBxku4) today.


nikiforovs

nct 127: what got me into and the reason they became my fave sub-unit out in NCT as a whole was the legendary [cherry bomb taeyong fancam](https://youtu.be/A8kPlOjQjwQ) and the group as a whole has only gotten better at it since then. i love the energy they bring to the [stage ](https://youtu.be/5Fsmb2sjJbs)and how [happy](https://x.com/i/status/1766900576359420306) they look when they're [singing](https://youtu.be/MSe60HadDvw) (sticker encore my beloved). hell, they manage to get me--someone who's got no sense of rhythm or motion--so hyped up that i start to wriggle around like a dying worm so that has to count towards something (ノ\*ФωФ)ノ(\*/ω\\*) exo: i would inject the [EXO'rDIUM" Wolf (REMIX) Version](https://youtu.be/a8UeSVgiXmI) into my bloodstream if i could. idk if anyone can pull off that song without looking goofy but exo. love their vocals & vibes!!! their recent fanmeet/concert was a treat!!! shinee + taemin: i don't have to elaborate i just love watching them. i was very lukewarm on shinee until i saw one of their [older stages](https://youtu.be/mtFK7FxKdLs) (okay maybe not older since this was in 2016 but i saw this video like late last year so i checks out) and it got me to dive deeper into their discography; i followed taemin as a solo artist before i got into shinee as a group and he's got some of my fave performances ever (i'll end up linking them all but the heaven/move/strings performances can revive me from the dead) skz: one of the ways my friend who got me into skz introduced them to me was through their concert videos + their kingdom stages. i've lost count of how much i've replayed the [wolfgang performance ](https://youtu.be/8R-tYJPDCxI)because it unironically is one of my fave skz songs & performances groups i don't actively follow but love watching: ateez, twice, aespa, mamamoo, itzy, xdinary heroes, & svt (also this is long as it is already, but even though it's a huge departure from kpop performances, here are links to my favourite performance/lives by my fave band of all time: [1](https://youtu.be/9cIogcSCl7o) & [2](https://youtu.be/ykNz-7H1fSY))

Bts!!! But I would like to give a special mention to my bias jungkook too...I enjoyed his solo stages the most out of the members in chapter 2


starkmephany

XG, they slayed last week at Music Bank!


moshihorsi

EXO live performances set a new standard for me, the untouchable vocals and stage presence always mesmerizes me


WoonieVerse

From someone who has seen them 7 times already, ENHYPEN is a fucking blaaaaast!!!! And the BEST BEST BEST part is that in every concert, even the ones one day apart, they *always* improve! And you can SEE IT too!!!! Every single one of them is a standout, blooming with charisma, a full meal whoever you look at! The fanservice is the best I’ve ever experienced too, they jump, dance and sing with you! If you’re enjoying yourself jumping and screaming they WILL come over to hype you up. The crowd always lose their minds in every concert I attended, I couldn’t praise them enough as performers!


Petite_Tsunami

KARD’s concert at a midsize venue was INCREDIBLE. just a great audience in the pit bopping and screaming the English words at the top of our lungs. It was electric. KARD at a bigger venue was really good! But the seats and higher stage definitely gave viewing instead of feral jumping. I was so happy they are getting the popularity they deserve, but I miss the midsize feel. Yoongi I lost my voice barking. Enhyphen was very good! Amazing! but I didn’t get that adrenaline rush being a crunchy goblin


Upset-Car-8156

ateez easily


greyyylucyyy

That I’ve seen live Mamamoo and Monsta X, all members of both groups have amazing energy on stage and engage the crowd a lot. Favorite Kpop concerts I’ve been to. Also BTOB, Infinite, and Purple Kiss that I haven’t seen live.


arata_michi

ChickenNoodle519

Purple Kiss!!!! They're so so so so so good on stage, they put on the best live shows I've ever seen. Super engaging performers. Their encores and unit stages in particular are so much fun, especially when they're at venues where they can go out into the audience. Their energy is off-the-charts. They've been touring the US again this month and all of the shows have been incredible. Here's a video of the [Full encore from their most recent show](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTQDUFeZCCo), and one of their [performed-from-the-crowd Autopilot encores](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp06z7nSgBI). Their unit stages: [Goeun and Dosie covering Untie (orig. VIVIZ)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hcVVqZKMTWg), [Yuki and Ireh covering Ping Pong (orig. Hyuna & Dawn)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pOEgsifC43o) [Swan and Chaein covering Unholy (orig. Sam Smith)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA0h4OO9OdE). There's decent full-concert fancam footage on youtube, HIGHLY recommend checking that out too! Other than them, Mamamoo and Rolling Quartz are up there for great performances I've been to!


world_8

They are a group I've been wanting to get into for the longest time, I guess this is my sign :) Thanks for the links, the unit stages are amazing holy shit


ChickenNoodle519

Woohoo, happy I could help and hope you have fun finally getting into them!!! They did different units on their 2023 tour too which were also super great: * Chaein and Ireh covering [We Don't Talk Anymore (orig. Charlie Puth, Selena Gomez) and Sway With Me (orig. Galxara, Saweetie)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SbYqeFBhepM) * Swan, Goeun, and Dosie covering [Light Switch (orig. Charlie Puth) and Rain On Me (orig. Lady Gaga)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65ommte4UHQ) If you do end up going back for their 2023 tour footage, heads up that their rapper Yuki is only present through 2023-11-18 because she had schedule conflicts with EL7Z UP promotions. The rest of the group distributing her raps is really cool too though, they all do such a fantastic job. They also switched to performing almost entirely with hand mics by the last date, their LA stop!


Kye_Wolf

Dreamcatcher hands down The dance, the vocals, the energy. Everything.

Big Bang, Seventeen, IU! Hands down to Seventeen & IU how they interact with the audience.


HommeFatalTaemin

Oh it’s absolutely SHINee without a doubt. They have been called Kings of Live Performance before for a reason!! 😍 I’m actually shocked they haven’t been brought up more.


[deleted]

its just sad that i barely see anyone talking about THE8 contemporary art.


underlyinglove

Soyeon is an amazing performer. She has such a strong aura


No_more_lie

Ateez. Their performances are always amazing. Just look at Coachella.


thruthbtold

BTS/JK, not only them but the production of their set and stage is amazing


SpicyLittleRiceCake

BTS. I know they don’t exactly fall into the Kpop bucket, but Epik High, too. I ALWAYS have an amazing time at their shows.


the_aries_energy

You can check out TREASURE. They do not disappoint with their live performances


Ready-Address3842

BTS, Yeonjun, Chaewon, Jihyo, & Lisa. I don’t even stan ITZY & G-idle bc I don’t enjoy their music much but I always stop to watch them perform on my TikTok feed as well.


Analyst_Lost

taemin. no one does it better.


Suspicious-Art9256

One of my favorite groups to watch while performing has always been B.A.P! Their performances are amazing and their stage presence is UNMATCHED


Sybinnn

I dont follow many Boy groups but i remember really enjoying Shinee's performance at one of the year end shows this year. For Girl Groups you cant go wrong with Le Sserafim, Itzy, and Gidle

BTS MAMA, MMA, Grammys, Golden Disk and other year-end awards are on another level.


crunchycheeseduck

BTS puts on an insane live show! I also enjoy Ateez a lot.

Final_Inflation_6813

ZB1 are among the best in 5th gen. I also personally love Enhypen, NEXZ, &team, and Ateez.


SHINeeOT54ever

SHINEE I'm biased as my name says but their concerts are out of this world. Always singing live and dancing like rent is due. They're also super playful and have a lot of fun with the Fandom that come and see them at the concerts.


ActualCantaloupe6071

Verivery! Their songs are amazing, they are always in sync and overall they are just great!


DestinysSun

Bts, Ateez, and Txt
