I don’t like voices of most lead/main vocalists
Kpop tends to favour singers with a higher vocal pitch. They’re always assigned the main vocal role (Chen, Ryeowook, Taeyon, 🤢 T*eil 🤢. I’m an SM stan but I do listen to other groups and find the same trend.). It’s like they equate belting high notes to singing ability. I was shocked when SM promoted Jaehyun with sooo many solo covers early on.
I get they are highly skilled and objectively execute lines well, but I don’t like the sound of their voices. There are moments in songs that call for high notes, there has to be balance and that’s what comes together to make a song. But I only listen to solo work from artistes with lower voices… forgive me for the poor terminology but I’m not sure how to accurately word it. For example, Jaehyun, Baekhyun, Key, Kyungsoo.
I hated how Chanyeol barely got any lines in Exo considering he is quite good and has a beautiful voice. I was so happy when Taehyung released Singularity so I could properly hear his singing voice on an entire track. I hate that lower tenors or baritones get shoehorned into rap positions or barely get any lines. Is this opinion unpopular? Fans seem to hype the higher register singers more
