On May 27, an online forum on K-netz sparked a heated discussion about the singing talent of LE SSERAFIM member Huh Yunjin . The debate was ignited by a video clip shared by the original poster (OP) showing Yunjin singing “Think of Me” from “Phantom of the Opera” on the variety show “ Knowing Bros .”
The OP asserted that Yunjin’s performance showcased her as an above-average singer among idols but expressed frustration over her vocal performance in LE SSERAFIM’s songs. “If you watch her video on ‘Knowing Bros,’ she’s above average among idols,” OP shared. “I don’t understand why she’s just unable to sing her group’s songs.”
The OP further speculated, “Maybe it’s because the style of singing doesn’t fit her?”
Fans highlight her past performances, showcasing her vocal talent
Others offered constructive criticism, pointing out specific areas in her vocalization that could be improved. They also referenced her past covers, which highlighted her vocal tone and abilities, suggesting that her talent shines brighter in different musical contexts.
This discussion reflects a broader conversation about how an artist’s individual talent can sometimes seem at odds with their group’s musical direction. As debates continue, fans and critics alike will be watching closely to see how Yunjin’s vocal journey evolves within LE SSERAFIM.
