THIS 4th-Gen Idol Garners Recognition For Her Vocal Ability: 'Not Just A Visual'

A popular fourth-generation female idol is receiving praise for her amazing vocal skills despite being known as a visual.

Recently, Korean netizens have been having a problem with one thing about the K-pop industry: there are many idols who are visuals, but lack live vocal ability.

Some idols who have garnered flak for their vocals include ILLIT Moka, LE SSERAFIM Sakura, (G)I-DLE Shuhua, and TWICE Momo. These idols have been labeled "vocal holes," and people believe they are only in the group because of how pretty they are.

However, there is one female idol who stands out for being both a visual and a talented vocalist.

Even before her debut, NMIXX member Sullyoon garnered attention for her captivating beauty, solidifying her status as one of the top visual idols of the fourth generation of K-pop.

In particular, Sullyoon has impressed netizens by effortlessly delivering strong vocals and effortlessly hitting high notes.

Alongside NMIXX, Sullyoon has rightfully earned recognition as one of the top vocalists within JYP Entertainment.

Some comments about Sullyoon's voice read,
