Listen to Sejong (Gugudan)'s "Flower Road"
セジョン（Gugudan）の「花道」を聴いて
gugudan Kim Sejeong is walking the "flower road".
Kim Sejeong released her new song "Flower Road" as part of Jelly Box's third project at midnight on the 23rd.
Immediately after its release, "Flower Road" ranked first on four real-time charts, including NAVER MUSIC, Mnet, Olleh MUSIC, and genie, and then monopolized the top spot on eight major music charts in Korea, including MelOn, Bugs!, Soribada, and Monkey3, announcing the birth of the "next generation music queen".
It is a beautiful song that stands out with its beautiful sensibility, starting with a lyrical piano arpeggio, gentle guitar leaf, string melody that rises in the latter half, and Kim Sejeong's emotional vocals.
The sensuous arrangement by ZICO of the group Block B and Kim Sejeong's beautiful vocals that enrich the song further complete the song with great appeal.
"Flower Road", which became a hot topic for its letter to her mother on "Produce 101", was released in part on a variety show, and after the broadcast, it received a enthusiastic response from viewers, and requests for a music release flooded in, and it was eventually produced by ZICO and turned into a beautiful song.
Kim Sejeong's "Flower Road", which has proudly made its name at the top of the music charts, is expected to continue in the future. Kim Sejeong will start promoting new songs through various music stages.
(From K-POP News)
Kim Sejeong is the main vocalist of the young girl group "Gugudan".
She was an ace singer in I.O.I, which recently finished its official activities.
However, it seems that Sejeong's singing voice loses its appeal when she is in a girl group.
Did Sejeong not perform well enough in either Gugudan or I.O.I?
For some reason, her presence has weakened in my eyes.
I think the reason is her soft singing voice.
Group songs are often positive and full of energy.
When singing and performing, a voice that is young and powerful (passionate) is required.
Naturally, the main vocalist will be responsible for the key phrases in a song, which are the most assertive parts of the song.
Sejeong's soft singing voice may be a bit of a challenge when singing the highlight parts.
This is because many of the highlight parts require a powerful singing voice.
She has the vocal ability, so there is no problem singing solo.
However, it's not the same for the main vocalist of a girl group.
While each member sings their part and performs, the main vocalist is entrusted with the more subtle parts.
Only when that part is covered properly can the performance of a song or stage shine and improve.
The main vocalist is responsible for such important parts of a stage.
Of course, they have to be careful, but if their singing voice doesn't match that, they won't be able to fulfill their role. They won't be able to.
When I watch Sejeong, I'm reminded of IU.
IU has exceptional singing ability, but she's not good at singing with a beat that directly puts her power and volume on the line.
Sejeong seems to be the same type of singer.
Taeyeon from Girls' Generation and Eunji from Apink have rich vocals, and she covers that area well.
Her solo song "Flower Road" that I watched on YouTube was really good. I was impressed by how well Sejeong sang ballads.
However, when performing in a group, she can't only sing songs like this.
How will she manage to sing these songs?
Sejeong will return to Gugudan and begin her activities, but I worry about whether she will be able to sing different parts like Taeyeon and Eunji.
For Gugudan to compete with WJSN and DIA, they may need a singer with a strong voice who can handle high notes, in addition to Sejeong.
Even if Gugudan wants to compete with cute singing voices, if that becomes a pattern, their potential for growth will be weakened.
They need a singer with strong high notes, even if they are sub-singers.
It would be nice to have one or two singers like Yeonjeong, who raised WJSN's presence with her high-pitched part in "Secret".
WJSN has a lineup of characters with great looks. It doesn't seem like the girls will necessarily become popular because of Yeonjung's singing voice, but they still need at least one.
