Here, I will be analysing the vocal techniques used by various groups and singers from Korea/Western Countries. Some information was taken from this Kpop analysis website and is accompanied by my own thoughts!

​

Red Velvet

Members​: Irene, Wendy, Joy, Seulgi, Yeri

​

For Red Velvet, I will be looking more into their main/lead vocalists Seulgi, Wendy and Joy.

​

Seulgi: â€‹â€‹

  • Soprano

  • Ease even in her lower register 

  • Nasal tonality (Most of the sound produced in the nose to mouth area) 

  • Prefers using falsetto rather than 'real' head voice

  • Does not project and resonate her words strongly in her middle/mixed register

​

Wendy: 

  • Soprano 

  • Words do not have much resonance 

  • Uses chest voice for her higher register 

​

Joy:

  • Soprano

  • Nasal tonality 

  • Not much resonance

  • Wobbly vibrato 

  • Good control and well supported falsetto

​

Exo

Exo as of 2018 has 9 members: Suho, Xiumin, Lay, Chen, Kai, Baekhyun, D.O, Sehun and Chanyeol

​

For this analysis I will be looking at the lead and main singers: D.O, Chen and Baekhyun. 

​

Chen:

  • Tenor
  • Good resonance in his mixed register 
  • Airiness can be heard when he hits his upper register, thought it is generally still well supported 
  • Good projection in lower register

​

​

D.O: 

  • Tenor 

  • Good control of his voice and well resonated words 

  • Able to enter into Falsetto easily 

  • Good at singing low notes (Strongest in singing in the lowest register) 

  • Good at belting

​

Baekhyun: 

  • Tenor 

  • Often uses a relaxed falsetto

  • Intonation and resonance not as strong as the other two members 

  • Airy lower register

  • Most extensive range of the three

​

​

​

BTS

BTS consists of 7 members: RM, Jin, Suga, Jhope, Jimin, V and Jungkook

​

For this analysis I will be looking at the vocal line of the group: Jin, Jimin, V and Jungkook

​

Jin:

  • Tenor
  • Softer voice as compared to other members 
  • Not much projection and resonance of words 
  • Airy quality to his voice especially in the higher register 
  • Good lower register that is well supported 

​

Jimin: 

  • Tenor/ Countertenor

  • Extensive head voice 

  • Very nasal singer 

  • Could improve in terms of breath support 

  • Strongest in his upper register

​

V: 

  • Baritone

  • Airiness in his voice when he sings 

  • Use of head voice instead of chest voice most of the time 

  • Good breath support

  • Good transitions into Falsetto 

​

Jungkook: 

  • Tenor

  • Often goes into Falsetto even in his mixed register

  • Most comfortable in his Falsetto but it lacks support when he goes into his upper register

  • Good support of voice in mixed register 

  • Breathiness and airy quality to his voice
