IVE’s Jang Wonyoung has recently garnered significant praise from netizens for her stable live vocals and distinctive vocal tone. This wave of admiration was sparked by a post on May 30 on Instiz, a popular South Korean online community forum titled “Jang Wonyoung really became a thousand years idol.”
The post highlighted a tweet that emphatically praised her live singing abilities, stating, “Jang Wonyoung is so good at singing live that I feel like vomiting in a good way. I feel like she delivers her low-pitched voice even better in live performances than in their digital versions. The way she sings the ‘tam-i-tam-i-na’ part is seriously making me lose my mind, f*ck.”
The tweet was accompanied by a video of Jang Wonyoung performing IVE’s song “HEYA” live. This performance has been instrumental in changing the public perception of her singing skills. Initially, during IVE’s early days, Jang Wonyoung faced harsh criticism and undue negativity.
Instead of letting the criticism demoralize her, she used it constructively to fuel her improvement. Her determination to enhance her vocal abilities has been evident, and fans have taken note of her significant progress.
K-pop enthusiasts and fans alike have shown agreement with the original poster’s sentiments. They have praised not only her improved live vocal performance but also her unique low-tone voice, which many feel is showcased best in live settings.
They acknowledge that over the years, Jang Wonyoung has discovered and honed the vocal style that suits her best.
Fans have expressed admiration for her continuous efforts towards self-improvement despite her busy schedule. They commend her dedication and note that while she was never considered a poor singer, her skills have noticeably advanced, making her performances even more impressive.
