However, many fans and viewers were disappointed with KBS’s camera work for the performances. They felt that the show included unnecessary angles, such as drone shots, audience shots, and zoomed-in shots.
This KBS song festival camera work is pissing me off

Due to this type of camera work, many parts of the performance, including dance breaks, and the outfits could not be seen up close.

KBS corners are really…what do they want me to watch?
Also the visual director of NCT 127The outfits were disappointed that the camera didn’t capture the tailored suits they had worked so hard to prepare for.

I’m so angry that the camera didn’t capture it well 😢😥😥” pic.twitter.com/hy5lhn2oOC— Kkkumi (@mybelovesun) December 21, 2024
Korean media even criticized the TV company for its camera production.
KBS Gayo’s photo production was so bad that even K media wrote an article and criticized it. 😤
“Side shots and full shots that don’t know the members’ intention broke the concentration.”
Right! This point was even worse than the cameraman’s appearance. pic.twitter.com/hGHDoVrBp7

And when they thought the show itself couldn’t be any worse, the quality of the individual fancams they posted on the YouTube channel came as another shock. It turns out that they didn’t film separate takes, but instead used the video of the group performance and cut it up to create the individual fancams.
No, only the logo quality is 1080p and everything else is 240p and 144p ㅠㅠ I won’t say https://t.co/65o8byDZug

The quality of the logo is 1080p, but the rest is in 240p or 144p… how is this possible…
Fans had to watch other fan-shot videos or fansite master videos for better quality and angles. Although shocked, fans hope that the upcoming music shows will have better quality!
