A beautiful face and physique, a charming personality, great dancing skills, and amazing vocals are the major qualities a South Korean idol must possess. However, some received massive disapproval after they have not passed the standard of a good singer for some.
In random order, these 10 K-Pop idols were heavily judges as weak vocalists and have to face the judgment of their critics.
ITZY Lia
As the main vocalist of the girl group, ITZY Lia has received negative comments about her vocals. Some would say that being the main vocalist of the band, she should make more effort to improve her singing voice.
"Debut song's a bop! Ironically, I hate Lia's voice, it's just hard to listen to, and the quality's not that good to be main vocal," according to one critic.
EXO Suho
The leader of the band, EXO, did not escape such criticisms, telling that he's a vocal hole. However, as time passed by, he has proven everyone that he has improved his singing qualities. Some would even say that he really does have a good singing (and soothing!) voice, though being overshadowed by great vocalists in the band like Chen.
Suho released his debut album "Self-Portrait" on March 30.
Red Velvet Irene
Having a great visual and being a strong dancer, she has softer singing vocals. Thus, she would often noted by the many that she sings weakly than the others. Wendy and Seulgi are known to have strong voice belts. Needless to say, Irene is good at rapping.
BTS Jimin
Jimin is an incredible dancer, but he succumbed to several criticisms in the past for his weak vocals, as seen on live performances. But he has worked hard, and many people have seen his improvement when it comes to singing. He had released solo tracks, "Lie," "Serendipity," and "Promise."
TWICE Tzuyu
Being beautiful is something that makes people notice Tzuyu, but she has endured her vocal critics in the past. However, she might have considered this as a positive light, for she has advanced in her singing voice a lot now.
Red Velvet Joy
Another Red Velvet girl who encountered criticisms due to her voice is Joy. Although she possesses a high and light voice, some are turned off hearing it and is considered weak. Still, a lot would say that these critics fail to see the beauty of Joy's singing prowess. She recently released an OST for the acclaimed TV drama "Hospital Playlist."
BTS Jin
In the past, Jin was criticized for his weak singing voice, as noted on his live performances on stage. They would say that he would not be able to cope with the other member's vocals. But in his recent live singing performances, Jin has been displaying how much he has improved in singing as lauded by fans.
Park Bom
2NE1 is undeniably iconic, but Park Bom did not escape the people's criticize, saying she had a weak singing voice. Critics said that her belting abilities are poor that would not give justice to the group's track. Nonetheless, Bom has evidently sung great songs even as a soloist.
BoA
Singer BoA's nasal sounding voice has been noted by critics as a poor singing technique that does not suit her. However, BoA has been successful in releasing her ballads as praised by the many. Added to that, she dances superbly, too. Plus, she wouldn't be considered as one of K-Pop's legendary artists and one of the pioneers of the Hallyu wave.
LOONA Choerry
Choerry of LOONA is said to be the weakest in her band, though some would say she definitely has a distinct sounding voice. Others would defend her that she is just underrated as a singer and not the weakest vocalist.
