HYBE Idol Cried Thinking He Sings Poorly Despite Excellent Vocal Skills
Amidst various skill controversies directed at HYBE artists, one idol gained attention for his humbleness despite excellent vocals.
Recently, HYBE girl group LE SSERAFIM made their “Coachella debut”, stirring up controversy. The “disastrous” live stage performance of the 5 girls was heavily criticized by Korean and international netizens, even being dubbed as the “shame of Kpop”.
Amidst the storm of criticism surrounding the skills of HYBE’s idols, talented idols become a topic of discussion among netizens.
In particular, the topic “A male idol bursts into tears every time he releases an album because he thinks he sings poorly” recently garnered attention on Korean forums. The male idol in question is none other than SEVENTEEN’s main vocal Dokyeom (also known as DK).
He is famous for his powerful voice, high vocal range, and ability to conquer difficult notes.
SEVENTEEN has an extremely dense activity schedule, with the group making comebacks 2-3 times a year, at the same time composing and producing their own music, or even participating in the choreographies. Therefore, the members often work together during the recording process.
The 13-member group is divided into 3 small units, including the Vocal Team, Hiphop Team, and Performance Team. DK is one of the key vocalists in the Vocal Team.
Despite his talents, DK is extremely strict with himself. According to the members, DK practices singing anytime, anywhere, and sets strict standards for himself, always fearing that he cannot perform well.
Woozi – the member responsible for composing and producing music for SEVENTEEN, even revealed, “Dokyeom cries every time he records an album, thinking that he sings poorly. Even though he has been praised 100 times for doing it well, he is still strict with himself.”
DK’s perfectionism and professionalism receive a shower of praise. Amidst the controversy surrounding LE SSERAFIM’s singing abilities and the reactions of Sakura and Kim Chaewon against criticisms, the public can’t help but draw comparison.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- This is what a singer should be like.
- Singers need to sing well and try hard instead of making excuses
- He’s already good and yet still attending vocal lessons amid his schedules… Can’t say the same to some other idols
- Talented people are usually even more strict with themselves.
Alongside DK, all 13 members of SEVENTEEN are known for their diligence and passion despite nearly a decade of activity. The group always strives to deliver captivating performances from challenging and complex dances to impressing even the most discerning listeners with powerful vocals.
Looking at DK, who is also under HYBE, netizens believe that HYBE should focus on groups that are both talented and famous and concentrate on improving the skills of less-skilled idols.
