2022 has been an amazing year for music as we have seen many of our favorite groups releasing great works of art that intrigued, captivated, and excited many music lovers. With groups either making their much-anticipated comebacks or just their debut, fans have been pleased with the impressive music that is being churned out by K-Pop groups today. Beyond their amazing songs, the stage performances are one of the ways these groups have shown their talents. Some show off their impressive growth while others make a statement with their debuts. There are no bounds to the level of creativity and talents these idols possess and this year we have been able to keep our eyes glued to the screens to catch each and every one of their performances.

With an already impressive year filled with incredible performances, here are our top 10 best female group stage performances for the first half of 2022.

1. Red Velvet - 'Feel My Rhythm'

We all felt their rhythm as the renowned girl group left us dancing and singing (well trying to) along to their song 'Feel My Rhythm'. The incredible harmonization and euphonic tones of their vocals are one of the key traits that set them apart from the rest. The stability in their vocals while performing was quite remarkable, and all around, this was a visually pleasing and delightful performance to watch.

2. Kep1er - 'WA DA DA' and 'Up!'

Kep1er's 'WA DA DA' served not only as a great debut but the perfect introduction to the group whose talents even as rookies were already so good. Their stage performances for this song were amazing as they looked refreshingly good, delivering fierce dance moves with their bright and melodious vocals.

Not resting on their quest to make a visible and lasting impact with their debut year, the group is already back with another comeback that has led to yet another top-notch performance. Clearly on their way up, 'Up!' is a bop in our books and this stage performance is one we will be watching on loop for a long time.

3. (G)I-DLE - 'TOMBOY'

We are stunned by the powerful display of the immerse talents that (G)I-DLE delivered with this comeback performance. Fully embodying elements of the genre, they brought a style that has never fully been delved into by many K-Pop idols and slayed this performance. They checked many boxes with the performance of this song, amazing vocals, dope choreography, fierce rap, fantastic stage presence, striking visuals, etc. Setting a standard, many will take a cue from their style as time and time again, they have proven to be the real trendsetter in K-Pop.

4. Billlie - 'GingaMingaYo'

When it comes to stage performances, Billlie has it on lock as all their stages so far have been a real thrill to watch. Fun and exciting, from their iconic facial expressions, stylish outfits, vocals, and intensely fun dance moves, a Billlie performance is one you won't get tired of watching as their stages evoke a certain level of energy that makes you feel good. 'GingaMingaYo' sounds like a song you'd hear on a playground or from an ice cream truck, the nostalgic feeling of the song complemented by their cheerful performance makes this comeback all the more memorable.

5. Apink - 'Dilemma'

If you weren't a fan of Apink, it might be time to find space on your stan card as they clearly deserve to be on it. Without a shred of doubt one of the best comebacks this year, they delivered a fierce performance that left us amazed and with a taste for more. There are clearly no girls like them as with 'Dilemma' they did what they needed to do. Sonorous vocals, breathtaking high notes, clean and in-sync dance lines, this first half of the year, Apink owned every stage they stepped on.

6. PURPLE K!SS -  'memeM'

PURPLE K!SS never disappoints. That would simply be the sentence that plays through your mind as you watch this performance, one you'd appreciate even more, if you've been a fan of them for a long time, and one that would make you go watch all their previous performances for the fear of missing out on something so great and entertaining. 'memeM' is such an amazing song, and this level of performance is one we have come to expect from the talented group who keeps impressing with their music, production, and performance skills.

7. VIVIZ - 'BOP BOP!'

Its groovy rhythm will have you moving your head bop bop to the beat as you are entranced by its feel-good happy sound. While we are intoxicated by just how great they sound and the amazing choreography of this song, we are also mesmerized by how chic and stylish they looked on this stage. 'BOP BOP!' is very addictive and the happy cheerful feeling derived from it feels like a serotonin boost to the soul. Every element of this performance was the killer point and we were left impressed and in anticipation of their next comeback.

8. IVE - 'LOVE DIVE'

IVE slayed with their debut last year and they picked off where they left off with 'LOVE DIVE'. Sounding like sirens, we find ourselves diving willingly into the ocean of their vast talents. They truly are deserving of the tag "monster rookies" as not up to a year into their official debut, they are already showing exceptional talents on the same level as seniors in the industry.

9. STAYC - 'RUN2U'

Visuals. Vocals. Charisma. Choreography. STAYC won in every category with the stage performances for 'RUN2U'. After watching this performance, many would be begging the question "Who are these talented queens?"

10. LE SSERAFIM - 'FEARLESS'

LE SSERAFIM had an impressive debut with 'Fearless'. Truly fearless, while many idols go the extra mile with their debuts, the idols choose a simple concept that frankly served as a breath of fresh air. The buzz of their debut might have been one of the factors that put a spotlight on them, however, they held said spotlight firmly as they showcased their outstanding musical skills with this hit song.
