Strengths/Achievements Strongest vocalist in B2ST One of the better lower ranges amongst tenors in K-pop Capable of producing resonance consistently within his supported range Able to support his voice as high as G#4, with some support present on A4 Able to sing down to C3 and B2 with consistent support and a neutral larynx Sings with a connected head voice at times Good intonation Able to transition well into both falsetto and head voice Uses a balanced mixed voice Able to produce a very steady even vibrato Weaknesses The higher he goes outside his supported range, the more yelled his mixed voice becomes His falsetto can sound often pushed, strained and yelled as he ascends above D5 His lower range is often unsupported and may also have a low larynx below B2 The throat isn’t always relaxed on certain mixed notes, causing him to sound pushed Nasality can be very present in his head voice Although he has a nice lower range, he mostly sings a repertoire that does not show that range Mixed voice is somewhat underdeveloped above Bb4, causing his voice to sound unbalanced Vocal runs can often sound sloppy and poorly produced Registers Lower register: Generally able to keep his voice very forward in his mask, with a nice chest placement throughout his lower range around the 3rd octave and the beginning of the second octave. He may at times lower his larynx below B2 or simply become quite airy and lack the proper support necessary. Mixed register: A very relaxed and balanced mix of chest and head voice is present in Yoseob’s voice. He is consistently able to keep a lifted soft palate as well as producing resonance up as high as G#4. Even above his supported range, placement isn’t lost, but there’s tension and push from the throat and excessive air, with at times a high larynx. Upper register: Able to produce a connected head voice up to E5, but inconsistently and may at times push with a nasal falsetto and too much throat tension above C#5. Even then, transitions are usually well done, the voice doesn’t lose the sense of pitch even in his head voice voice and falsetto. Agility

As a light-lyric, Yoseob’s voice possesses an ease for faster passages in the upper register, even in his head voice and his mix. Even so, he does have the lack of precision with his vocal runs, where many times the separation of pitch may be present but the proper rhythm between the notes and the connection isn’t established fully, so his vocal runs often sound sloppy and out of place. Those occasions include the high falsetto runs in “희야“, and runs in his mix such as in “When I First Saw You“.

Overall analysis

One of the older idols in the current K-pop music industry, B2ST’s Yoseob secures a safe place as the group’s main vocalist. Without a doubt he’s the vocalist with the strongest sense of support, pitch, musicality and placement, outdoing any of s vocally. As a light-lyric tenor, Yoseob’s voice retains a very bright tonal quality throughout his registers and even presents a more balanced mix that takes away any signs of huskiness or strain to his voice.

From the bottom of his range, Yoseob’s weakness starts with the fact that within the repertoire written for B2ST, by member Junhyung, the songs do not ever highlight his lower r
