UP10TION’s Sunyoul Has Unmatched Vocal Abilities, And Here Is Proof For His Birthday
Every K-Pop fan knows the more well-known powerful vocalists in the industry, like Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon, SHINee‘s Onew, and Super Junior‘s Kyuhyun, to name just a few. However, there are some hidden gems among less well-known K-Pop groups that deserve far more attention than they get.
Among them is the main vocalist of UP10TION, Sunyoul! Sunyoul is a phenomenal singer who is known for his unique ability to sing in both male and female keys, and sounds flawless when doing so. As his birthday is on November 6, we wanted to share some examples that definitely prove why Sunyoul is hands-down one of the most talented vocalists in K-Pop.
1. The way he belted out the high notes in aespa’s “Savage” like it was nothing!
