It's depend on their genre, Lee Hyori and Hyuna were huge not because of their vocal, but more of their stage performance, charisma and good song, now Sunmi goes to the same direction and success, F(x) Luna, tried it too, but her amazing vocal can't help her lack of stage performance, charisma and bad song.

I feel that having good vocals in the groups aren't important to a lot kpop fans.

 

But for me, I think every idol should be able to at least hold a note. When I choose a bias I tend to prefer someone who can sing(there are exceptions).

 

Personally, I expect them to sing live well while standing still. I have low expectations of live singing skills when idols are dancing.

 

I don't think vocals are more important than other skills. The most important thing is to stand out in a positive way. Idol groups has lots of members where every member plays a part in some way or another. Idols groups has multiple members so that the group can appeal to as many people as possible.

Elaborate?

 

Vocals are important but the most important is (at least for an idol) to be likable, the most popular members are usually the visuals or variety member and they usually are the weakest vocalists but have their strong points even if they aren't the best singers.

 

Having songs that suit your voice also helps, like 2NE1 was even considered a vocal group despite being technically weak but the songs were such a good fit for their voices that a regular person wouldn't even notice (hence them even getting awards for that category and being covered in Vocal focused survival shows). 

 

Vocal is important because it's what you will sell first but it being technically GOOD is another thing lol 

 

can't elaborate more than that lol

Because her genre choice, Krystal or Sulli will more likely get more attention for that kind of song. Luna will has more chance to success if she goes to ballad or Ailee type of song, the same with Wendy, amazing vocal has it's own limitation if you lack of "visual", stage performance or charisma.

I appreciate more charisma/stage presence rather than great vocals tbh, but I do think idols need to at least hold a note. 

My bias (Yoona) was very very weak in her early days vocally speaking, but she improved and now she sings nice imo :3 her aura and charisma were more important to me than her vocal abilities, so vocals aren't that important to me.

Taeyeon is popular because she has both talent and visuals that people like since day 1, she truly is one of a kind, liked by the gp and having a huge fandom

 

not many main vocals are as popular as the visual, it's actually pretty rare

K-Pop is not an industry made for amazing vocals. Like you are not telling yourself "Let's become a Kpop Fan because of these amazing vocalists". There are barely any Kpop Idols who you could actually consider amazing vocalists. Part of the reason is because Idols are supposed to be all rounders. They are not only training their vocals, but also acting, photoshooting, performing and so on. That's why you call them an Idol and not Singers. It's a different industry and they have a different purpose. Of course they have to be somewhat able to sing, and most can. But at the end their other talents matter more for their career.

Anyone can do that though.

An idol should at least have singing ability since a main part of their job requires singing. 

 

I Agree Tbh, I Think It Gives Kpop A Bad Rep Especially When Popular Idols Have The Worst If Not Tragic Singing Abilities
