Who has the best vocal skills in OH MY GIRL? (K-POP)
It is a seven-member girl group belonging to WM Entertainment, which debuted on April 21, 2015. It is said that the group was named Oh My Girl to become My Girl of the public. The members are Hyojung, Mimi, YooA, Seunghee, Jiho, Binnie, and Arin in order of age. Hyo-jung, the eldest, was in charge of the leader.
Although it is somewhat less known than the unique concept and choreography with colorful movements, many of the members evenly have very professional vocal skills. It is known that there is no dedicated vocal trainer in WM Entertainment, but Seunghee, who is strong enough to record Produce 101's "Same Place" and the girl next door's "Deep Blue Eyes," is active as a member, and it seems cute, but there are many talented members behind it, so the group has rarely been criticized.
It is a difficult song that requires a high pitch to the extent that each title song has always broken a high record, and it is not difficult to see that he has solid and even skills overall by appearing on music-related content (radio and YouTube, especially Dingo Music) media and performing live every time. Even though all the songs consist of high notes that are difficult for most women, there has never been a crack in the tone. (The fifth season of sound accident to remove the Liar MR)
Vocal positions (details later) were divided into main vocal, lead vocalist, and sub vocalist at the beginning of the activity, but are now divided into lead vocalist and vocalist. Hyo-jung and Seung-hee are playing a big role in vocals, but it seems to reflect the improvement of other members' vocal skills day by day.
OH MY GIRL's songs are usually sung alternately by lead vocalists Hyo-jung and Seung-hee, and YooA, Binnie, and Ji-ho are in charge of the bridge part in the middle, while other parts are divided by other vocalists. Therefore, it consists of members who think their voices suit the given song the best and are assigned many parts. This type of part composition requires singing skills not only from lead vocals but also from other vocals, and other vocal members also have good singing skills.
Infants and Ji-ho are mainly in charge of the chorus part in the second half of the song where the main vocalists sing ad-libs or high notes, while Vinny, who holds stability with her unique low tone, is mainly in charge. Recently, Hyojung and Seunghee, YooA and Binnie, and Arin Jiho are often paired, and Mimi (OH MY GIRL) often stands as the sole center in her part because she mainly takes charge of the rap part.
Binnie and Arin play the song with different vocals, while Binnie plays the verse and bridge parts of the song very stably and supports the song or sometimes plays high-pitched ad-libs, while Arin plays the killing part of the song with a soft and unique voice. In the case of rapper Mimi, she is good at rapping, but her vocals are also excellent, so in songs without rap, she doubles the charm of the song with a soft voice. As such, most of OH MY GIRL's songs show a very solid vocal composition because each member is in charge of their own parts.
A representative song of this composition is Fireworks, the title song of the sixth mini album. Seunghee and Hyojung alternately sing the chorus, and Binnie is in charge of the main part, while YooA and Jiho stably catch part of the chorus and bridge part. In addition, Mimi's rap and Arin's vocals have the same composition repeated several times to complement the part that may feel bored and complete the song firmly.
In addition, not only Hyo-jung and Seung-hee, but also YooA, Binnie, and Ji-ho were distributed for the high-pitched part of the chorus in BUNGEE, showing improved vocal skills were distributed.
Thanks to the fact that many of the members have excellent singing skills, the distribution of parts varies widely depending on the atmosphere of the song. Except for Hyo-jung and Seunghee, who receive a lot of parts in any song, Ji-ho received the most parts among the members in CLOSER, YooA and I. In the fireworks and fifth season, Binnie's parts increased a lot and received very good reviews.
Queendom Choi Jong-hwa's contest song Guerrilla is the final king of OH MY GIRL's vocals, making good use of the dreamy concept, which is OH MY GIRL's trademark, with three octaves in the first and second chorus and three octaves. In particular, ad-libs were added to the first and second chorus in the third chorus, including Seunghee's shouting ad-libs and Binnie's three octave sol falsetto ad-libs. In addition, Hyo-jung and Seunghee were in charge of the high notes in the first and second chorus, as always, and when Seunghee did the high notes ad-lib in the third chorus, YooA, Jiho, and Binnie divided the high notes and sang them.
In some songs, Hyojung, YooA, Seunghee, Jiho, and Binnie all sing the chorus part once, and everyone sings the high notes very neatly. Comparing the tone whenever the chorus comes out, each feeling is strong and in good harmony.
