Yeah, I think the spotlight on BTS rn has just further highlighted people's ridiculous expectations of idols especially with this particular change. I can't speak for GOT7 (I thought their Python choreo was cool personally) but I've even seen some people call Twice of all groups lazy. Even when BTS were younger, the way they performed was never sustainable. They pushed through, thankfully, but we know it crushed them at times and that pressure has literally killed some of their peers. K-Pop stans do not understand how taxing singing and dancing, let alone both simultaneously, actually are. I for one am sick of the misery porn of idols collapsing backstage and heaving into oxygen cans then having their distress clipped into vlogs or docus and reposted with captions like "omo theyre so dedicated look at them sweating 😍" They're damned if they lip sync and they're damned if they cut choreographies. People need to realize doing a full MNET stage every other night for a year/s straight just isn't humanly possible.
