Fans Shocked By ITZY Member’s Vocal Skills In Viral Clip

“She needs to sing more.”

Earlier this week, ITZY unveiled the pre-release music video for “Mr. Vampire” from their forthcoming album BORN TO BE. The track, being the second pre-release single following the album-titled song “Born To Be,” has heightened the anticipation for ITZY’s full album release and their title track “UNTOUCHABLE.” However, what truly took fans by surprise was the unexpected showcase of vocal prowess from a member typically known for her rapping skills.

ITZY, a group revered for their extraordinary dancing and captivating performances, is now receiving accolades for a different kind of talent. The spotlight shines on Ryujin, the group’s main rapper, dancer, and center, who is earning praise for her singing abilities.

Ryujin, primarily known as one of ITZY’s rappers — has rarely had the chance to display her vocal talent — with members Lia and Yeji predominantly handling the vocals. Though Ryujin’s singing moments in tracks like “Cheshire” and the Japanese single “Voltage” were memorable, they were brief.

Thus, her vocal performance in “Mr. Vampire” came as a delightful surprise to both fans and the general public.

In this track, Ryujin took on significant singing roles, including all three choruses, a verse, and a pre-chorus.

This marked “Mr. Vampire” as a song featuring some of Ryujin’s most extensive vocal contributions in ITZY’s discography. Netizens — ecstatic to see Ryujin’s vocal talents in the spotlight — expressed their amazement, with many stating they had never heard her sing like this before on a viral clip of her parts in the song.

Even the other ITZY members took note of Ryujin’s vocal performance, with Yeji praising her in a recent vlog.

Ryujin’s vocal emergence doesn’t stop with “Mr. Vampire.” The album “BORN TO BE” appears to be a defining moment for her, as her singing also shone in the other pre-release track “Born To Be,” and notably in her solo track “Runaway.”

Her solo performance especially highlighted Ryujin’s versatility and growth as an artist, further endearing her to fans and music enthusiasts alike.

With Ryujin’s newfound recognition as a vocalist, fans are eagerly awaiting more opportunities for her to showcase her singing in “Untouchable” and future ITZY releases. Her evolving role within the group not only highlights her individual talent but also adds a new dimension to ITZY’s already dynamic musical style.

As Ryujin continues to surprise and delight fans with her vocal skills, the anticipation for ITZY’s future projects grows ever stronger, promising a new era of musical exploration and artistic growth for the group.
