Sojin is not a very R&B focused vocalist and lacks the influence of such a genre in her vocal style. Thus, it is understandable that she’d be somewhat less comfortable in a song where she’s to sing with more vocal runs and trills. She doesn’t often sing with vocal runs; but when she does, it is possible to hear a lack of true development in this area of her voice.
