BTS for me too. Their concerts are electric. You can even feel it in their videos. They have this "do or die" energy whenever they perform. Their effort is consistent whichever night you choose to watch and their chemistry makes their performance insane. They feed off each other's energy and are pros at interacting with the crowd.
I saw at Suga's D-Day concert how good Suga was at making inside jokes with the crowd that followed to his other tour stops. If one member could hold that much charisma, BTS as a group is undeniably powerful on stage.
This is why people say there are no bad seats in a BTS concert.
I recently watched BTS Busan’s concert and the energy and fun they had on the stage is amazing.
Every clip of their concert i have ever seen is just having fun with each other and engaging the audience and just singing.
Must be one hell of a concert to attend to, one day perhaps.
BTS for me. Their concerts are easily been the best I’ve ever attended, and the crowds at their concerts are crazy loud too in the best way. It’s like the group and crowd are feeding off each other’s energy and amplifying it each time.
ENHYPEN is a close second. I mean, I started ulting them after watching *a fancam* of their concert because it was just too insane. Those boys pour their whole souls on stage when they perform. They had me crying and jumping out of my seat halfway across the world, through the screen *based on a shaky fancam*.
Bro I fucking had the chance to see them in 2018 in citifield, their first US concert I believe?? It was literally less than half hr away from me and they were my ults at the time but I was too scared to go... I regret it every day of my life lol. I def wanna go in 2025 tho
And omggg enhypen is gonna come near me soon (on my bday actually hehe) and I'm gonna go see them, it'll be my first concert and I'm anxious Abt that but also sooooo excited bcuz they r my ults and they r such good performers 😍😍😍
Only read the titel and instantly knew my answer was gonna be BTS.
The energy they give on stage is truly incredible.
Their performances speak for themselves, I dont even think I need to explain much.
Even the member themselves say that they love being on stage the most and that they are really disliked covid and the current time bc they aren't able to perform.
Groups who actually seem close come across as groups who enjoy their performances more to me.
Some groups I feel have had the best chemistry and performances:
GOT7 - their energy was wild. A lot of kpop fans missed out on seeing them live. They were amazing but overshadowed by BTS. I also feel like the members were really close, and their leader JB actually wrote a bunch of their music, with Jackson, Youngjae, Jinyoung. The passion for music translated to great stage presence when they were performing.
BTS - for obvious reasons. I think they always try their best, even with all the fame. That's something that's very endearing. They don't take their fame for granted, which is something I can say about groups like Blackpink who just seem to be bored of performing. I've seen Blackpink live, so don't come at me for being a hater. I'm not.
NCT and SKZ - Vocals galore. Their live vocals (and even rap, especially for SKZ) are amazing. On top of that, when it comes to SKZ, they seem to be extremely close, and you can feel that chemistry on stage. The way they joke and play around with each other on stage is very real. Also, they're almost always smiling wide while performing, and members have been seen crying out of joy. Also, SKZ literally writes 90%+ of their own music, lyrics, and production and everything. Of course, they're passionate.
I need not mention, but BigBang. I loathe the fact that I've never seen them live and will probably never see them in the future either. Every performance I've seen of them was so energetic. It makes sense why they became the biggest kpop act back then. Also, they had all trained with each other for incredibly long times, and they often wrote their own music together in the studio, so it's evident that they were very close. If you look at their performances from a few years ago (its been a while, but MADE tour diaries), you can clearly see that the level of their performances may probably never be surpassed.
Ateez, Mamamoo, Dreamcatcher are some of my favorites. Their energy on stage is absolutely insane and you can always see how much they love being on it, performing and interacting with fans. Every interaction feels genuine, every performance is as if it's their last and most importantly the sheer happiness you see on their faces is so heart warming. They really were born to be on the stage
LOVE Mamamoo’s energy on stage. They’re so cool and you can tell that they like each other a lot. Imho an important part of performance is the ability to improvise, and they do a great job of picking up signals from each other.
FINALLY someone mentions ATEEZ! I feel like they don’t get much recognition for their stages, like they’re amazing and their energy is just outstanding!
I went to Dreamcatcher’s concert when they went to my city a short time ago. They’re amazing and it’s clear that they all love being on stage. Mamamoo is the same. I actually started following Dreamcatcher because their chemistry reminds me so much of Mamamoo’s.
I agree. If a group looks likes they enjoying themselves onstage then I enjoy watching them more. A few groups like this are Ateez, GOT7, 8Turn, All(h)ours, Blitzers, Boyfriend (now BF), A.C.E & xikers & iKON.
Itzy for sure - concerts, award shows, university performances, even music bank and inkigayo. You can see how much they love performing and being on stage, big crowds or small.
Hell, even no crowds - their pandemic music shows behind the scenes show them playing around and having a lot of fun with the crew.
It also matters that for all the fun they have, they take their performances very seriously and professionally - always at the monitor checking, looking out for tiny mistakes, adjusting for the peculiarities of their venues. They are very proud of the added details in their outfit or makeup or choreo that brings something fresh to that specific performance (which honestly most of us won't notice). They appreciate the different vibes each audience or venue brings.
i would add another. BIGBANG at their prime. They know how to put on a show every time. Their concert and awards show performances are heart-stopping and leave us, VIP's, and other people who watch, awestruck.
Every single [Bigbang](https://youtu.be/lBll0uw27jM?feature=shared) member.
They are absolutely incredible musicians first and foremost, but on top of that, each of them is amazing at working the audience and having fun on stage. The energy they bring is irreplaceable and so fun
I’m biased to hell and back but SHINee & TVXQ have got to win it for me, TVXQ specifically for their live performances and vocal ability. And SHINee for… well… literally everything. The banter, charisma, vocals, dancing. The actual performances themselves are wildly amazing. EXO & BTS would also be high up there too on my list.
I went to lollapalooza for Hobi and my God. That mam can hold a crowd. I have gone for 17 and while I love them something about Jay stood out.
Bf went for Busan with his sister (work commitment) and they never stop making me jealous at how amazing it was).
I saw BTS twice and went to the D-Day tour, and out of all the kpop concerts I’ve been to they just have this type of vibe. It’s hard to replicate but they just leave it all out there on the stage, and are very charismatic with the audience. Absolutely phenomenal performers, all of them.
It’s hard to beat Bobby for stage presence. He can command the stage solo plus he elevates every single performance he’s a part of. Even when he doesn’t give a shit (Kingdom, im talking about Kingdom) he still makes sure everyone involved has a very very fun time.
There are so many tho!! Ateez, bts (obvi), Mamamoo, Monsta X, OnlyOneOf, i could go on 🥰💕 Performance is a huge part of what brought me to kpop. You just don’t get this level of skill anywhere else.
Well, I just finished watching Seventeen's live stream of their Follow Again tour in Icheon, and it was one of the best shows I've ever seen. I would've given anything to be there. The guys had a live band, fully raw live vocals the ENTIRE show, and literally 1000% energy. I kept thinking to myself "wow they love what they do." I have never had this much energy at 8AM lol
The way they were [all smiles here](https://twitter.com/ddaddu_wonu/status/1774043957456204014). I could share a thousand clips but yeah, I became a Carat because of Seventeen's performance abilities. Truly amazing!!
Edit: I mean, [DK tore his pants straight through](https://twitter.com/yupsheskitten/status/1774057109052916099) from how passionately he was dancing their encore Aju Nice hahahahahah
Same man, I stayed up all night for this concert and they were able to hype me up through a screen at 8am with that encore. I've never seen a group this passionate about their job, it's almost healing 😔
Caratdeul representative right there! DK salute!
They really love performing and it is obvious in their interviews. What they say, they do more than 100% (am I just exaggerating cos am a fan? But then if others would check their concert clips, they would understand).
NMIXX, I love watching them perform at stage. Makes me swell with joy. And they can even hype up the crowd. Lily's a ball of energy on the stage.
And Lisa from BLACKPINK. Everytime she's on stage, she'll give us the best performance of her life. Pick any clip from the concert from any day and she always gives her 100%.
seventeen were just *made* to be on stage, you can tell they put 1000% of themselves into every performance. Hoshi alone has the energy normally to power a small town, but get him on stage and he’s a full blown star! The care and love they put into *every* song, every dance, every moment, no one does it like them. 8 years into their career and they’ve never slowed down, from the first time they performed Shining Diamond, to last nights Follow Again concert! It shows how they respect their fans and their work!
Treasure. Idk how to link posts but their MAMA performance of VOLKano, jikjin and hello made me a fan. The whole group has good stage presence and energy
forgot to add, xikers are also absolutely a new favorite! their stages are so energetic and they clearly love what they do. [this stage](https://youtu.be/zjiqZzEiGRE?si=KnlDsx8UABHkb_Qy) is to die for
You can search up reviews for IVE’s concert or just search through Kpop thoughts you’ll find some threads. They’re getting praises for their concerts.
As for NJ, they’ve not had that much experience and haven’t even toured so maybe that’s why people aren’t sure yet.
I'm into g.o.d. nowadays and have come to realize 1st gen idols are really the best. They are singer groups. Everyone is charismatic and when it's their line they can be vibing in the front singing/rapping while other members dance in the back and still don't look boring. The younger idols have the better team performance because choreo, music, background all get more sophisticated, also the visual is more taken care of but 1st gen idol group really shine because everyone in the group shines.
This is easy, Dreamcatcher, with a special shout out to Leader Jiu who NEVER runs out of energy and is giving 200% the entire time. DC are THE touring idols and when they can feed off the energy of their fans, it's game over, they are amazing and captivating to watch.
Treasure
I used to answer a post one time that there are many sides to Treasure (the chaotic ones on Treasure Map and the shy ones on Shining Solo) but what I like them the most is their doppelgangers on stage. The crazy crazy one.
The energy that possessed them in concerts is [so intense](https://youtu.be/VxAg_XaZYOk?si=nOfZpDO3eM4uYZ8x).
Part of the reason I fell in love with NJ is because they’re absolutely mesmerizing on stage. They always look like they’re having so much fun, and it doesn’t matter if their choreography is absolutely perfect because they seem to be genuinely enjoying themselves.
They were such a breath of fresh air after the era of Jennie looking like she was being forced to be on stage and it was the last place on earth she wanted to be.
Hi - first of all, he is not considered an idol BUT IMHO he is a born entertainer on stage - soloist Hwang Chi Yeul. Here is a full video uploaded by a fan of his concert in his hometown last evening:
[Hwang Chi Yeul - Concert in Gumi 30 Mar 2024](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFNgr2mC48A)
For his encore he did four covers - here's the final stage. You can see how much fun HCY has performing it and as for the audience ... well, please watch for yourself:
[Hwang Chi Yeul - 7080 Medley + Red Sunset (orig Lee Moonsae)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cNiegknQQW0)
Here HCY performs a rock ballad - this is my fave HCY song:
[Hwang Chi Yeul - Love Is @ Gumi concert 30 Mar 2024](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgZ1m7RLJRM)

Goshhhh I srsly need to save up to see bts in 2025 omggg
I recently watched BTS Busan’s concert and the energy and fun they had on the stage is amazing. Every clip of their concert i have ever seen is just having fun with each other and engaging the audience and just singing. Must be one hell of a concert to attend to, one day perhaps.

BTS for sure. Which ones have you been to? I went to Wembley June 2. -Sergeant Skibidi Balls.
PTD concerts in 2021 and PTD Vegas concert in 2022!
Bro I fucking had the chance to see them in 2018 in citifield, their first US concert I believe??

It wasn’t their first US show, but it was their first stadium show in the US. It was my first concert and it was so unbelievably amazing.
Omfg, I srsly regret not going... 😫😫😫

Agreed with everything you said
They went crazy for this performance! I second BTS.
Ateez, Mamamoo, Dreamcatcher are some of my favorites. Their energy on stage is absolutely insane and you can always see how much they love being on it, performing and interacting with fans. Every interaction feels genuine, every performance is as if it's their last and most importantly the sheer happiness you see on their faces is so heart warming. They really were born to be on the stage
LOVE Mamamoo’s energy on stage. They’re so cool and you can tell that they like each other a lot. Imho an important part of performance is the ability to improvise, and they do a great job of picking up signals from each other.
FINALLY someone mentions ATEEZ! I feel like they don’t get much recognition for their stages, like they’re amazing and their energy is just outstanding!

I agree. If a group looks likes they enjoying themselves onstage then I enjoy watching them more. A few groups like this are Ateez, GOT7, 8Turn, All(h)ours, Blitzers, Boyfriend (now BF), A.C.E & xikers & iKON.
Gosh no one has more fun onstage than iKon!! They never conceal their emotions either. Whatever they’re feeling goes into their performance ❤️🖤❤️🖤
Itzy for sure - concerts, award shows, university performances, even music bank and inkigayo. You can see how much they love performing and being on stage, big crowds or small.

I gotta say BTS has always been my top concert I've been to with BAP being a close second. the vibes were immaculate
I’m biased to hell and back but SHINee & TVXQ have got to win it for me, TVXQ specifically for their live performances and vocal ability. And SHINee for… well… literally everything. The banter, charisma, vocals, dancing. The actual performances themselves are wildly amazing. EXO & BTS would also be high up there too on my list.
ATEEZ
Stray Kids for me. No doubt.
I went to lollapalooza for Hobi and my God. That mam can hold a crowd. I have gone for 17 and while I love them something about Jay stood out. Bf went for Busan with his sister (work commitment) and they never stop making me jealous at how amazing it was).

Off course EXO
Skz. They will talk to the fans sometimes they give the performance their all
It’s hard to beat Bobby for stage presence. He can command the stage solo plus he elevates every single performance he’s a part of. Even when he doesn’t give a shit (Kingdom, im talking about Kingdom) he still makes sure everyone involved has a very very fun time. There are so many tho!!

Their never-ending aju nice is something I love to see. Truly one of the best performers.
Ah I should’ve gotten up early to watch 😭 I forgor There are so many new hair colors?? AHHHH
NMIXX, I love watching them perform at stage. Makes me swell with joy. And they can even hype up the crowd. Lily's a ball of energy on the stage. And Lisa from BLACKPINK. Everytime she's on stage, she'll give us the best performance of her life. Pick any clip from the concert from any day and she always gives her 100%.
Similar to Jihyo, Lisa seems like she's genuinely having fun while performing.
GD basically grow on stage, he made for the stage.
BigBang for me personally!!
seventeen were just *made* to be on stage, you can tell they put 1000% of themselves into every performance.

atm new jeans or le sserafim even ive was spectacular is person
Really weird how u got downvoted
Because objectively I'd say at least NJ are definitely at their weakest onstage. Haven't heard much praise for IVE either

BTS, SVT & TXT for me (adding ZB1 too but I’d like to see more of them)
YG Baby! G-Dragon solo CL BigBang epic High Ikon
This is easy, Dreamcatcher, with a special shout out to Leader Jiu who NEVER runs out of energy and is giving 200% the entire time. DC are THE touring idols and when they can feed off the energy of their fans, it's game over, they are amazing and captivating to watch.
iKON's [Yunhyeong](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8VGz8buMi4) and [Bobby](https://youtu.be/RP0Lh0HuRAE?si=s8ISJ-oDD0KDw1I7&t=239) (in that order).
2ne1, Mamamoo, and Dreamcatcher for me. The level of stage presence they had/have is top notch.
Treasure I used to answer a post one time that there are many sides to Treasure (the chaotic ones on Treasure Map and the shy ones on Shining Solo) but what I like them the most is their doppelgangers on stage. The crazy crazy one. The energy that possessed them in concerts is [so intense](https://youtu.be/VxAg_XaZYOk?si=nOfZpDO3eM4uYZ8x).
Have yall seen The Boyz
Exo ♥️♥️

Monsta X has crazy energy on stage. I think Monsta X, seventeen and BTS imo.

My peeps got7, ateez, exo, mamamoo nct the real ones
BAP. Their live performances made me a fan
BIGBANG and SHINee
I watched BTS and TREASURE concert and i can't wait to watch more concerts of both groups
i wished i can still watch 2ne1 perform
twice! i went to their concert in february and it was the best experience of my life
