The Need for a "Rapper" in Modern K-pop Groups is Up for Dispute Among Internet Users

In a K-pop group, is a rapper required? Netizens are debating whether a “rapper” is necessary for an idol group in online forums. For both male and female groups, at least one person is typically identified as the “rapper.” Members that sing, dance, and rap have also been separated into their different roles on idol trainee survival programs for evaluation.

Netizens, however, are debating the “rules” that apply to K-pop bands and questioning if this stipulation is required. Owing to the variety of music genres in K-pop, online users are debating whether they favor rappers or would rather not listen to them.

Some say that “it is nice to have at least one,” while others are voicing that “there has to be a rapper, for sure.” At the same time, a good amount is expressing that they “don’t need rappers, because it doesn’t always sound good.”
