Top K-Pop Vocal Coach Chooses The Idol With The “Perfect” Voice
SG Wannabe member Lee Seok Hoon recently toured JYP Entertainment‘s headquarters for an episode of his popular YouTube show, SSULPLY.
With TWICE‘s Jihyo as his guide, Lee Seok Hoon was able to speak with influential members of the company’s training team and members of Xdinary Heroes and NMIXX.
During the episode, they were able to connect with famous vocal coach Kim Sung Eun, who has worked with many idols, including members of TWICE, BTS, After School, Tahiti, RANIA, HALO, and more. She was also a vocal trainer for Dream High 2 and Produce 101.
While speaking about the distinctive vocal styles at K-Pop’s top entertainment companies, TWICE’s Jihyo asked Kim Sung Eun who she thought had the “perfect vocals” among other artists.
Kim Sung Eun instantly praised soloist IU as being “really great.”
She explained that it is difficult to judge the technical skill of singers who specialize in “melodious” songs like ballads on whether or not they can keep rhythm well, but IU excels in any genre she attempts.
She further explained that it’s evident how skilled IU is when others attempt to sing her songs. Kim Sung Eun admitted that when the trainees she works with attempt to cover IU’s songs, it’s often “a mess.”
During the episode, Kim Sung Eun also set the record straight about JYP Entertainment’s signature “half air, half sound” vocal technique.
