IVE Wonyoung's singing voice change has received positive feedback! Low-pitched rap has been well-received [Lollapalooza]

IVE appeared at the outdoor music festival "Lollapalooza" held in Chicago, USA on the 4th (local time). They performed 11 songs over 45 minutes. The members' performance was praised in the Korean online community.

However, the singing of "Wonyoung," the "face" of the group, received a particularly strong response. Her normal voice is usually cute, but on this day her singing voice was low-pitched and powerful. There was no nasal sound that is common in talking voices, and there was also a smoky feel, making it a cool rap that America would like.

Until recently, "Wonyoung" had a singing voice that was close to talking. From the short-term changes, it seems that she made a conscious effort to change her singing voice. Her nasal voice in singing is very unpopular on the Korean Internet.

(Reactions from Korean online communities)
▼"Good bass"
▼"This is the first time I've ever heard that voice"
▼"It suits rap"
▼"Great tone"
▼"Princess, you're so good"
▼"Wonyoung's bass is a master. Wow, her scream gave me goosebumps"
▼"They say she's a hard worker, but she's really great. This is growth"
▼"Wonyoung, was nasal when she was in IZ*ONE? Considering the time she was told about her tone, she's really grown up"
▼"What is Wonyoung lacking?"
▼"Wonyoung is a real hard worker. It's amazing to see her grow without being noticed"

The volume control was not good during the stage performance of the opening song of the concert, "I am".
The singer's voice was low, and it seemed to be coming directly and thinly without going through the microphone.

Even Yujin and Liz, who have rich vocal ranges, were like that.

It seemed like the volume of the speaker wasn't adjusted properly.

At times like this, it was not surprising that Wonyoung's nasal voice was not audible.

Wonyoung, who debuted with IZONE, is a good performer, but her only weakness was her lack of vocal range.

She decided to become an idol when she was in elementary school, so she must have liked listening to and singing music.

However, because she had many lessons to take, she didn't have many opportunities to sing properly when she was young, and there was no one to listen to her songs. She may have been in an environment where she had no choice but to express the songs and music that were always in her heart by humming them under her nose whenever she had free time.

I think that this environment was the direct (?) trigger that made Wonyoung aim to become an idol, but is that too much of a stretch?

Well, Wonyoung has actually appeared as a "wonderful idol," so it's a moot point now.

On the stage, her singing voice was low, but if you listen carefully, you can faintly hear Wonyoung's singing.
Wonyoung, a genius on stage, must have noticed right away that the microphone volume was low.

Soon after the concert began, it seems that some of the staff noticed that the speaker volume was low, and halfway through the performance of "I am," the members' voices became clearly audible.

Thanks to this, this stage became an opportunity for the members to show off their improving singing ability.

This included the singing of Wonyoung and the others, as well as Eugene and Liz.
Wonyoung's voice was audible, and when they could hear her clearly, huge cheers erupted.

I joined in those cheers.
Her voice was no longer the one she had when she debuted.
The powerful cheers of the fans filling the venue spoke for itself.

I thought.
The Wonyoung of her IZONE days is no longer here.
Wonyoung's voice here now resonates far and wide, even into the sky.

Lollapalooza may be long remembered by DIVE as the venue that made Wonyoung's beautiful singing voice known.
