Unpopular (?) opinion: Not all K-pop songs sound better with a live band

I don't know if this is actually an unpopular opinion, but I don't think I've seen people talking about this. I've had this in my mind for a long time, but only now I decided to post it.

The first time I thought this was for Stray Kids's God's Menu. I think it was for the Maniac tour, but also the DominATE tour. Most of the song sounds good with a live band, but the chorus feels a bit anticlimatic. I love how the chorus for God's Menu sounds in the studio version, but with the live band it doesn't feel as hype. Just to note, I've never seen them live and only through fancams so it might be different if I heard it live.

Also, I think this is true only for SOME songs. I think most sound better with a live band. For example Social Path sounds 100x better with a live band, also Lonely St.

Some other songs for which I thought this:
- Stray Kids LALALALA and MIROH - I think again it's mostly the chorus
- NMIXX O.O and Phoenix - the original instrumentals are perfection for me (on the other hand Love me like this sounds 100x better with a live band)

Have any of you had this opinion about a song? Which songs do you prefer with a live band?

Why did NMIXX stop using cheek mics?

I feel like they used to always perform with these cheek mics when they weren't using hand mics, but I think since Viña del Mar they've been exclusively using these headsets.

I love how pretty much all idols get a fursona

Like pretty much every group has some type of animal characters representing their members, and if not animals than other cute things.

I am not a furry (yet?) but i think thats just really cute. I don't know how Idols feel about it but I would be super happy if a bunch of people like interpreted my vibe and looks and then tell me what type of animal vibe I give of. I think it's nice to feel defined by simple things sometimes.
