Voice Type

Strengths/Achievements Strongest vocalist in 2PM Cleanest sense of support and cleanest tone production amongst 2PM members Mixed voice shows support up to D4 with a nice relaxed sound Pitch is mostly quite consistent Support is present in the voice Transitions mostly well into his falsetto Occasionally able to produce a better fuller well placed falsetto Uses a falsetto more often than he tries to belt, avoiding strain Weaknesses Often breathes into his chest, improper breathing posture Nasality is present throughout his range Below C3, his voice loses tone and support Notes above D4 becomes pushed and throaty, with a high larynx Unable to produce resonance Sings mostly with an airy falsetto Vocal runs are often pitchy and sloppy Lower range is relatively underdeveloped for a baritone Registers Lower register: His lower is mostly well placed with fulness in tone and a connected overall vocal cord approach. His chest voice is somewhat developed in the lower third octave with good chest placement and good projection down to C3. Mixed register: The mixed voice is more on the head dominant sound. It’s mostly light and it lacks the chest resonance necessary for him to have a more powerful sound overall. Generally stable and well supported up to D4. Upper register: His falsetto is a register quite stable in his voice and used often, sometimes well placed and forward but mostly it projects from the back of his throat, causing a more swallowed sound overall. He can keep a relaxed sound in his falsetto throughout the fourth octave but shows tension above B4. Agility

Unlike Jun.K, Junho is not a vocalist who sings much R&B. He’s not a very R&B influenced vocalist and therefore does not often choose songs that have him doing vocal runs or even adding his own vocal runs to his vocal performances. Due to that, he does not often expose his weaknesses in this area by not trying to do things he’s not capable of. The few times he’s shown to sing vocal runs, he shows a lack of confidence with his voice when separating the notes clearly and having a clear musical idea in his head that he’s able to produce with his voice, generally resulting in pitchy and sloppy runs without much of a flow, such as in “Love (Keyshia Cole cover)”, “Love“, “Give It To Me” and “Stay With Me“. Regardless though, he isn’t unaware of that and when doing vocal runs, he tries to make them as quick and short as possible.

Overall analysis

Debuting in 2008 with 2PM as a potential lead vocalist, alongside Wooyoung, Junho has proven himself as a solo artist and vocalist many times over his career. Showing possibly the biggest improvement amongst the members of 2PM in his vocal technique, he has become a much more prominent vocalist in the group and has grown to have a very successful solo career as well. Unlike most main and lead vocalists of K-pop groups, Junho’s voice actually lies slightly lower in range than most other groups. While most of the time tenors are favored as the main vocalists of K-pop groups, due to the lower range the repertoire of 2PM is written in and the fact that Junho sings with a much lighter approach to his voice, he’s able to handle singing in a lower tenor range without as much fatigue to his voice. However, his voice and overall range fall more closed within the fach of a lyric baritone with a lighter vocal weight.

His lower range is relatively under explored and under developed for a baritone. The overall tone of his lower range is often quite well placed
