15 K-Pop Live Stages You Need To Watch

K-Pop = Amazing Performances

1. "Red Light" by f(x)

SMEntertainment.KBS / Via youtube.com

I will never get over how f(x) manages to be graceful, powerful, and bad ass all at the same time. This stage just proves that they can literally slay any concept that their company wants to throw at them. (We need them to comeback SM!!)

2. "If You Do" - GOT7

JYPEntertainment. SBS / Via youtube.com

The footwork makes this performance!! This is my favorite GOT7 song and probably favorite performance because it just highlights how many awesome dancers are in this group. And who doesn't love a Britney Spears' mic every now and then?

3. "Mr. Mr." - Girls' Generation

SMEntertainment / Via youtube.com

Girls' Generation are and will always be queens of K-Pop. This performance seems simple from their not so flashy outfits and a simple stage design but these girls do not need anything more to put on an amazing performance. It is hard to walk away after watching this performance not feeling empowered due to the girls' "not taking shit from any man" attitude.

4. "Monster" - EXO

I honestly don't know what to say besides this is so freaking good. They just sing so well and dance so well and look so good and its not fair for the rest of us who will never be as talented!

5. "Mind Your Own Business" - Ailee

YMCEntertainment. MBC / Via youtube.com

Ailee's voice never fails to give me chills. Not only do her vocals give all pop artists a run for their money, but she manages to wow with all of her performances. (Even when she couldn't even dance due to an injury!!)

BigHit Entertainment. SBS / Via youtube.com

A sparkling star background,amazing choreography, powerful fan chants, and awesome camera work make for an emotional performance from BTS. (No gif will ever do this performance justice)

7. "Flower Way" - Se Jeong

Jellyfish Entertainment. SBS / Via youtube.com

Se Jeong helped write this song with producer Zico and the lyrics focus on the love she has for her mother. The title "Flower Way" references how Se Jeong wants her mother to walk an easy life after everything that she has done for Se Jeong and her family. The performance is equally emotional as the lyrics and definitely gets me a little choked up :'(

YGEntertainment. Mnet / Via youtube.com

Do I know why TOP is a motocross cowboy? No. Am I wondering if Daesung can even see through his coconut head hair cut? Yes. Do I still love this wild performance? Of course!!

9. "REALLY REALLY" - WINNER

WINNER never fails to put on a great performance but this stage just encompasses the relaxed attitude that the rookie group is known for. Of course, the amazing group of dancers makes the stage even more dynamic conveying the bright and youthful themes of the song.

10. "Blackout" - VIXX

Jellyfish Entertainment. Mnet / Via youtube.com

VIXX's performances range from adorable adorableness to sexiness overload. Blackout is definitely more towards the latter half of the spectrum. This stage really shows off each members individual talents and charms and it's just really fun to watch.

11. "As If Its Your Last" - BLACKPINK

BLACKPINK is a rookie Kpop group but you would never know just from watching their performances. They have such a handle on their style which gives them a confidence that comes through on stage. This song is guaranteed to make you dance just like the girls in this energetic performance.

13. "Crazy" - 4MINUTE

Cube Entertainment. / Via youtube.com

4MINUTE was aaamaaazinnggg!! I was so upset that I really started getting into their music once they disbanded. However, this performance really encompasses 4MINUTE's tough stage persona and edgy attitude that truly suited them. <3

14. "View" - SHINee

SMEntertainment. Mnet / Via youtube.com

View is literally one of my favorite songs of all time just because it makes me so happy. It is the epitome of a summer pop song and this stage cannot get more cool and fun and just smooth, for lack of a better term. SHINee has been around for 9 years and just from this performance it is clear why.

15. "I Like That" - SISTAR

Starship Entertainment. Mnet / Via youtube.com

This performance is just beautiful. The use of their skirts as props is awesome and make the performance dynamic and interesting to watch. It is sad that SISTAR recently disbanded but I'm glad we got this performance before they were gone :(
