With how much money HYBE is earning nowadays, it wouldn't actually hurt for them to find good and capable vocal coaches that can help their artists improve.

People needs to realize having a UNIQUE VOICE doesn't mean GOOD AT SINGING

[sayeenibedita]

Few weeks ago Xiumin got hate for saying that IDOLS SHOULD BE ABLE TO SING FIRST cuz at the end of the day people listen to their music. This got many fans of particularly these groups offended. We can clearly see why.

[nicoleontiveros]

I think one of the most problematic things about kpop's singing is that somehow having a high register has become 'more impresive' than having good vocal technique. Also, agengies look more for stage performance and presence than vocals. It is truly sad how what you sing has become more important than how you sing it.

[mademioselle]

“Weak vocal technique will turn style into a cage and passion into pain” very, very well said 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

[baekhyunbyun]

Baekhyun is an amazing singer and he's still taking singing classes
That's bcuz he's passionate about his job !
I think other idols should learn from him
We shouldn't always blame the company! If the idol wants to improve they can take classes themselves!

[RyanChu]

I don't understand why hype idols lack so much in singing like you have the money to train your idols, where is the problem ?😟

[nightingale]

as someone who used to be a predebut army, jimin;s case is actually quite heartbreaking to me. there's even a youtube video where he was extremely upset with himself and wanted to take vocal lessons, but with the intensity of bts's schedules for the past decade it wasnt possible. because of his vocal tone, the producers would always make him scream in the back of a lot of bangtan's songs and somewhere during 2017/18 his voice just couldn't take it anymore. i don't know enough abt vocals to say if the damage is irreparable, but there's something almost croaky abt his voice when it wasnt like that in the past. he's the prime example of why hybe's "self-teaching" method of training (apparently they lock trainees into tiny individual practice rooms for 6-10 hrs and expect them to self-improve on dance/singing/rap according to jake) is bogus. i understand the company is more dance/performance centric but the vocal health of their artists is also important

[absolutelynotellen]

I'm not a pro vocal teacher, but yeah, i have to admit that Kazuha's vocals are unironically sounds strange to meーrapping and vocal wise, and i can't help everytime her parts came around made me go "okay, what was that?". Also for me, Jimin's vocals come off too pitchy, even chipmunk'ish sometimes.

[exollence]

0:34 "not every idol needs to be like BAEKHYUN" lmaooo my man being singled out for his vocal skills like yesss WE LOVE THAT

[Joonpathy]

As an Engene, I would like to say all Enhypen members need heavy vocal training except maybe Sunoo and Heeseung. Yes, they also need vocal traning but they still hold pretty well on their own. HYBE should really invest some time in their vocals because everything else about them is amazing. Also, I love their vocal tone.
P.S: All of them are young. So, they have got a lot of time to improve and I think they are getting proper vocal training recently. I would really like to see them improve in their upcoming comeback.

[NightmareAfterMe]

jimin case is one of the saddest i've ever witnessed, it reminds me of park bom's: great potential wasted by lack/wrong vocal technique (pushed by the company).

[o_o]

I hate to say this cause Le sserafim is one of my ult groups, but there was definitely a vocal hole that was left when Garam left the group. Garam, Chaewon, and Yunjin were definitely carrying that group vocally

[ibrahimabarry]

The worst is that some of them sounded better pre debut.

I recently watched Iland and Jungwon was not an SM main vocalist but he did not strain as much. I think they give him really high parts that force him to sing at the limit of his range.

Yunjin from Lesserafim also sounded better in Produce 48 oddly enough.

[ArielthelittleFISH]

As an army, I always got bashed for saying jimin will get hurt if he continues like this... I don't have that much knowledge of vocals, but I can clearly see the damage in recent years... please dont neglect jimin's health for your ego if you care about him

[celticsb]

hybe genuinely needs to stop discarding vocal lessons for dance ones

[remixedv]

The other day Xiumin of EXO made the comment of how important singing is in the industry. No matter what that's your bread and butter. No one can ever call you out your name if you have skills. That said, generations are changing and Autotune/AI is glossed over most artists also in the West. Performance across the board is bleak when labels spend no money on artist development or even find a good source to begin with. When EXO says Baekhyun won't stop singing around the dorm or Chen, it's them exercising their vocals every day. They love to sing, it's an extension of them. If you love to sing you must put in the time every day... actors still take acting classes to tap into emotions. The music industry is done for, labels are signing AI artists... why pay for a human who can't sing. Music Appreciation isn't taught anymore so peoples ears are not attuned to what qualifies as quality music or vocals. Cuteness doesn't last forever that's why your skills must come first. New Gen, only a few Kpop artists can walk up on an Apollo stage and make it off safely, individually.

[sadakopilled]

this video further proves that 90% of kpop stans know absolutely NOTHING about singing, cuz i swear i've seen many fans out there say stuff like lisa or jimin are as great as main vocal level but ofc similar can be said about the rest of this list especially the enhypen boys 💀 and it's like, ok i get it! yall love these idols! but you should be able to compliment them for things they are actually good at instead of something they are *not*, no? 🤷‍♀️

[marianasaraiva]

I'm glad you put rappers in this list because rapping includes some vocal techniques as well specially breathing control, sense of rhythm and pitch.

[kagomekirari]

I'm glad someone addressed jimin finally cuz like, his album is great, but in addition to your great points about pitch and tension, the gritty throat noise he starts all his lines with (which I also found super noticeable in mots7 and be) just does not work (i.e. sound nice) when done that frequently and sounds so painful ;0;
