Generally weak in support but with decent connection and tone is present even below her lowest area of support, down to F#3 at least. Mixed register: The mixed voice is the most balanced sounding mixed voice in Miss A, with a more even ratio of chest and head voice. The support is somewhat present, even if shallow and the placement is generally nasal. The voice becomes strained anywhere above Bb4. Upper register: Not very explored but generally average in skill, a regular falsetto register. Disconnected, soft in tone and airy, but with decent control of pitch and somewhat smooth transitions. Agility

Min as a vocalist is far from being an R&B or show offy vocalist. She generally sticks to a limited amount of range and skill and shows off more on the dancing aspect of her vocal performances. When given the chance, she shows that she isn’t one to try and sing things she isn’t capable of, such as vocal runs. When approaching vocal runs, Min sounds like a beginner who is very conscious of what she’s doing. She sings vocal runs slowly, note by note and carefully in order to hit every single note with accuracy, even if then causing the runs to become robotic and lack smoothness, such as in “Poison” and “Stuck“. When attempting faster vocal runs, however, it is possible to hear that Min lacks the proper note separation, support, muscle memory and control necessary to create smooth, accurate and faster vocal runs, such as in “Take A Bow“, “Stickwitu” and “Stuck“.

Overall analysis

Debuting as a JYP artist after years of training as a member of Miss A in 2010, Min is the perhaps best known for her personality and powerful dancing, more so than her singing. She has, however, been given more highlight as a lead vocalist of Miss A this year, as so announced in “King Of Mask Singer (복면가왕)” and “Go All The Way (끝까지 간다)”. As it so turns out, Miss A isn’t a vocally focused group and for the most part without any official main nor lead vocalists roles. As a dance group, the actual average skill of the vocalists, even including the rapper Jia, is quite close together. However, when putting each vocalist against one another, it is possible to hear differences that make Min the member of Miss A with the strongest vocal technique, even if by very little. Min’s voice may be narrow in range, but she is able to produce tone with a light bright sound and a girly voice, most notably shining with her range in a Soprano range, even if that range may still be underdeveloped.

Her lower range isn’t quite so deve
