Examples and inspiration
To get a better idea of the differences that I am talking about, you can check out these examples. (There are quite a few BTS examples because they are my biggest inspiration for this topic HAHA)
​
These examples are of songs which are performed in two ways, with Korean vocal techniques and with Western vocal techniques.
​
Ps. On a side note, when I am referring to Korean Singers and Western Singers I am referring to are most singers of Popular Music from Korea and the US and UK (I am not trying to overgeneralise but I realised there is a trend and that is why I am doing my assignment on this topic!)
​
To know more about the different vocal techniques you can check this page out to see what I am referring to.
