Recently, a netizen shared screenshots from ITZY's dinner livestream on YouTube. Despite being captured at 720p resolution, the image quality in these screenshots was remarkably poor and often blurry, making it challenging to identify the members of ITZY clearly.
Netizens have raised concerns not only about the screenshots but also about the consistently low video resolution in the clips. It has been noted that fans have been voicing these concerns for several years, calling for improvements, yet the company has not acknowledged or addressed these issues.
Netizens emphasized that this was a live broadcast recorded in Korea, and the ITZY members were not located overseas. They expressed concern that if the members were to do a live broadcast overseas, the video quality could be even worse.
The related post also sparked heated discussions among netizens, with comments such as: "Is this a problem with YouTube or the company? Is it because the equipment is too bad??", "Is this really 720p?! It feels like 280p, it's really serious! When can the picture quality improve?"
"Why are they ignoring this issue when the members aren't even hosting the show themselves but simply broadcasting live while watching the screen? Don't the staff monitor it? What's going on?"
"Even regular folks doing YouTube live streams have better quality... What kind of equipment are they using to film? This is astonishing! I can't believe they can broadcast like this!"
"What's going on here... Even idols who debuted in 2008 had better music video quality." "Honestly, it's worse than what we had 10 years ago." "Is it a location with a poor internet signal, or are they overseas? The fact that an idol's YouTube livestream has such low quality is genuinely concerning!"
