Top 10 K-Pop Group Members with the Best Voices

K-pop vocals are where technique, tone, and pure feeling all get pulled into the same fan debate. You hear it in the clean high notes, the warm lower registers, the emotional ballad lines, and those tiny ad-libs that somehow become the part you replay 47 times.

This list is for the group members whose voices make you stop scrolling and actually listen. Maybe you lean toward polished main vocalists with scary control, or maybe you prefer a voice that is instantly recognizable the second it enters a chorus. Cast your vote for the K-pop idols you think deserve the top spot, because vocal taste is personal, fandom opinions are loud, and everyone has a favorite note they will absolutely argue for.

The Top Ten

Kim Hyun-joong (SS501)

Kim Hyun-Joong (Korean: 김현중, Hanja: 金賢重, born June 6, 1986) is a South Korean entertainer, actor, singer, songwriter, and dancer. He is the leader and main rapper of the boy band SS501.
He has also played roles in the Korean dramas Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss, which gained him international... read more

He's a professional and a perfectionist. He divinely dances, and he's a great actor. He has a wonderful voice that enchants an audience of various ages. Ok, he is my favorite!

Kim Hyun Joong has a silky voice. I melted hearing him. His voice gets better and better with age. He is the best singer.

I would like to see him sing songs with more rock in them.
Yesung (Super Junior)

Kim Jong-hoon, better known by his stage name Yesung, is a South Korean singer and actor. He is a member of the South Korean boy band Super Junior and its subgroups Super Junior-K.R.Y., Super Junior-H, and S.M. The Ballad. Yesung has also released solo albums and performed in musicals and television... read more

Yesung is the lead vocalist from Super Junior. He is also a part of Super Junior K.R.Y. His singing is wonderful. He is able to convey the essence of every song he sings. He has a deep, rich bass with a slight hoarseness.
He can control the audio of any length and pitch. He is a talented singer, but he doesn't have enough opportunities to express himself.

The number 1 spot is rightfully his. Sure, there are others in K-pop who are more vocally powerful than him, but I love it when he sings not only to impress but also to express. His voice just hits right on the feels, and that's the reason why he'll always be my number 1 bias!
Kyuhyun (Super Junior)

Cho Kyu-hyun (born February 3, 1988) is a South Korean singer and actor. He is a member of the boy band Super Junior and its sub-groups Super Junior-M and Super Junior-K.R.Y. He was also a member of the ballad group S.M. The Ballad.... read more

His voice is powerful and soothing, and he has really nice notes! Very handsome oppa and very evil. Fighting, fighting oppa!

I like his songs so much. When he sings, I think he is handsome. Fighting, oppa!

Very beautiful. Very smooth. And very handsome.
Taeyeon (Girls' Generation)

Kim Tae-yeon (born March 9, 1989), known mononymously as Taeyeon, is a South Korean singer and actress. She debuted in August 2007 as leader and main vocalist of the girl group Girls' Generation, which became one of the best-selling K-pop acts. She has released several solo albums and EPs and appeared... read more

She has, in my opinion, the best vocals in the K-pop industry. Her vocals really stand out, and her voice is so beautiful too. No doubt, she's Girls' Generation's best vocalist.
I have known Girls' Generation for only one year, and the first music video I watched is "Gee." Taeyeon stands out too much for me. I don't know why, but I kept repeating her part, thinking, "How can she sing this beautifully? Let me try!" But I kept failing. She is the best vocalist. That's why.

Really, her voice is something. She puts her emotions in every song that she sings. Her sweet and strong voice has the ability to soothe people. Listening to her singing is definitely one of the best enjoyments in my life!
I feel like she is talking to me every time she sings.
Daesung (Big Bang)

Daesung's voice relaxes me a lot, and it's one of the most unique voices I've ever heard. Whenever I feel happy or sad, I will always listen to his voice. I don't know why, but I feel sadness in his voice that really touches me.

Daesung has an amazing voice. It is full of emotion and power, and he has worked really hard since his debut. His voice is getting better and better.

His voice is amazing, and he's awesome when hitting high notes or very low notes. His voice is very unique, though.
T.O.P (Big Bang)

Have you heard Hi Haruka? I felt goosebumps during the whole song. His deep voice is what I live for.

Oh yeah! Not bad at all! Our oppa is now at no. 17! Fighting!
Ryeowook (Super Junior)

Kim Ryeowook, born June 21, 1987, is a South Korean singer, actor, and musical performer. He is best known as a member of the boy band Super Junior, which debuted in 2005, and its sub-groups Super Junior-K.R.Y. and Super Junior-M. He was discovered through the CMB Youth ChinChin Festival in 2004 and... read more

Ryeowook! This is my man! He is so hot on Immortal Song 2, and he actually sings amazingly! I don't know why people don't like him. He is so beautiful and sexy. He kissed me at a concert once!

His voice is high, beautiful, and unique. He has a great range and technique. He is definitely the best singer in K-pop.

Very cute voice. Eternal maknae!
D.O. (EXO)

He's such a good singer, and I believe he'll become even greater in the near future. I don't get why people underestimate him and put other members above him while he is as good as the others.

He has improved so much already, and his voice is really one of the softest and best-sounding ones I know.

I vote for EXO's D.O because he doesn't do high notes that much, but he has an angelic and very nice voice.
Jessica (Girls' Generation)

Jessica Sooyoun Jung was born on April 18, 1989. Known professionally as Jessica, she is an American singer, actress, and businesswoman currently based in South Korea. She is a former member of the South Korean girl group Girls' Generation. In 2014, she established her fashion brand, Blanc & Eclare.... read more

Ha. She is good, but the rest of SNSD isn't worthless. They're doing fine without her.
Try having a vocal battle with Seohyun, careless commenter who said Seohyun is worthless. In fact, she's my bias. So watch your words, please.
Sorry if I sound rude, it's just that the rude one is cough, cough - you.

I am so glad that Sica unnie is No. 6 on this list, and she should be.
In other lists, other useless members of SNSD, especially maknae Seo, are ranked 1 to 10.

The best! She sings like a pure angel.
Hongki (FT Island)

Hongki's voice is so powerful. He has the ability to pour his heart into every song he sings, and he can sing anything so well. His voice can sing beautifully and peacefully and also cry.

The man can sing! His range and power back it up. I literally adore his voice!

This guy has the strongest voice. It's really perfect. FT Island is the best.

The Newcomers

?
V (BTS)

His deep voice is relaxing and beautiful. I could literally fall asleep to his voice because it's so amazing.

V has such a calming, smooth, deep voice! I could listen to him sing all day!

Taehyung has a very warm, deep voice that suits just about anything. I love his voice so much.
?
Jihyo (Twice)

Ugh, why is there no TWICE here? Like, uhm, where is Nayeon? Jeongyeon? Mina? Tzuyu?
There deserve to be so many more TWICE members on this list than just Jihyo. But anyway, Jihyo is an amazing vocalist and deserves to be number 6 or 7. Love you, God Jihyo.

The Contenders

G-Dragon (Big Bang)

I was going to choose Taeyang, but he's not a choice, so I go for GD. G-Dragon has continuously proved why he is at the top of the food chain when it comes to K-pop. Not limiting himself only to rapping, he can sing very well and hit notes even some "only singers" can't.
He can switch from rapping to singing in the same sentence. He can express his lyrics through his voice in a way that many other idols can't even comprehend. So, I guess it's pretty obvious, right?

Jiyong's voice is no joke. It's just so unique I could recognize it anywhere. He's so talented. I've fallen for him in a second. His rapping is amazing too. Along with TOP, when they duet, it's no joke at all. However, his voice is what I live for.
Loser is what made all of Big Bang's voices stand out, and really, his did too, although it always did.
Chen (EXO)

Mr. Clean Voice definitely deserves to be in the top ten. His high notes are one of the main things that make EXO songs... EXO songs. Although D.O and Baekhyun exude more charisma and personality, Chen will always have the best voice! Fighting, Jongdae-ah!

I think he has one of the best voices that I know in K-pop. He can wonderfully hit high notes, and his voice is higher and more powerful than other members'. It gives me the creeps.

His voice is so powerful. He can hit high notes, and I love him very much.
Jonghyun (SHINee)

Kim Jong-hyun (April 8, 1990 - December 18, 2017), known mononymously as Jonghyun, was a South Korean singer-songwriter, record producer, radio host, and author. He was the lead vocalist of the boy band Shinee and also participated in SM Entertainment's project group S.M. The Ballad.... read more

It's so unique. When he performs with SHINee, it's almost like his voice was made for them and harmonizes so well, yet it's so distinct. His voice seems to work in ballads or even songs like Dream Girl, which amazes me.

His vocals are AMAZING. His high notes are gorgeous and clear, and his singing is just superb. He sings with passion and joy, and it really shows in his fabulous singing.

His vocals are really amazing, and ever since the first time I listened to SHINee, I decided that his vocals are the best!
Donghae (Super Junior)

Lee Dong-hae, known professionally as Donghae, is a South Korean singer, songwriter, composer, and actor. He became a trainee at SM Entertainment after winning a prize at SM's Youth Best Contest in 2001. After four years of training, Donghae debuted as a member of the boy group Super Junior in November... read more

His voice is so amazing. Perfect.
Baekhyun (EXO)

He was the one who drew me into the EXO fandom because of his beautiful voice. His voice is what attracted my attention.
When I first heard EXO's History, I was only listening to the song. I wasn't watching the MV because I was on Facebook and listening to it on YouTube at the same time. The moment I heard Baekhyun's voice singing his first line, I stopped whatever I was doing and rewatched the History MV just to find out who this voice belonged to, and it was Baekhyun.
His voice is unique, rare, and easy to differentiate. His type of voice can't be mistaken for someone else's. I love it. His expression is the best when he's performing on stage, which is why he is my ultimate bias for life.
Jaejoong (JYJ)

Kim Jae-joong (Hangul: 김재중. Born January 26, 1986), known mononymously as Jaejoong, is a South Korean singer-songwriter, actor, and director. He debuted in 2003 as the lead vocalist of the boy band TVXQ and later co-founded the group JYJ. In 2024, he formed the duo JX and became Chief Strategy Officer... read more

He has an astonishingly good voice! He is highly praised by many music professionals. His live singing is as good as his CD albums!

His voice is like a rainbow, changing from one to another. Whatever kinds of songs, he can handle all of them.

Jaejoong has such a graceful and powerful voice. It's amazing!
Junsu (JYJ)

I am admiring so many Korean boy bands, but the only one I admit has a strong, stable voice is Junsu. Even when I compare him with Yesung, Changmin, Jaejoong, Kyuhyun, or Jonghyun, I still choose Junsu.

His talking voice is so cute and adorable, sounding like a dolphin's squeak. But when he sings, it's just whoa. Exploding with emotions, and his vocals are the best of the best in the whole K-pop industry!

The most angelic voice I've ever heard. It's definitely the best voice. He is the most talented singer. I love his voice so much! Xiah Junsu oppa, fighting!
Tiffany (Girls' Generation)

Stephanie Young Hwang, known professionally as Tiffany, Tiffany Hwang, or Tiffany Young, is an American singer. She rose to fame as a member of the South Korean girl group Girls' Generation, which debuted in 2007. Tiffany later launched a solo music career and has also acted in musical theater and television... read more
Key (SHINee)

His voice is unique and special, just like him. He raps and sings, so that should mean something. It means that he can use both his high and low tones pretty well. This guy is amazing!
Soyeon ((G)I-DLE)

Undoubtedly one of the best female voices in Korea. She deserves a spot in the top ten, if not the peak.
Jung Yong-hwa (CNBLUE)

I would definitely say HE IS ONE of the BEST! His voice is very powerful and really ranges across different genres. I can't ever get tired of listening to his songs.

He has a wonderful voice that ranges across different genres of music, being capable of singing powerful rock songs as well as ballads, etc.

He has a powerful and strong voice. He sings and plays instruments live. He is able to lead the audience and rock their world.
Hyolyn (Sistar)

Come on, people. Hyolyn is the best singer in all of K-pop, with Taeyeon close behind in second. Like always, the lists on this site are just filled with people who obsess over the popular members instead of the best.

She has a powerful and rare voice. One of my favorites! I also love Jiyeon of T-ara and Seohyun of SNSD for the quality of their voices, but when it comes to power, Hyolyn rocks.

I think she has a much nicer voice than other female K-pop members. Come on, guys, vote for her!
Park Bom (2NE1)

Park Bom is a South Korean singer formerly known mononymously as Bom. She initially gained fame as a member of the K‑pop group 2NE1 before pursuing a solo career. Since re‑debuting in 2019, she has released several singles that blend R&B and pop elements.

Have you ever heard her auditions? Those are pretty amazing. She has that unique kind of voice. It's hard to understand why she was rejected so many times before.

Hi, it's Fittwoonie! I'm a huge fan of Park Bom, one of the members of 2NE1. Her voice is very unique, and there's no singer around the world who has a voice like hers. Her high notes are very "BOM," just like her name!
She's very talented, and I hope she releases a new single or album in the future because I miss her solo work a lot. I also miss her in general! I hope she does a duet album with TOP, a member of Bigbang, in the future. Park Bom makes my day shine with her voice and smile. Bom, fighting! I love you! Keep smiling!
Daehyun (B.A.P)

A handsome guy with an angelic voice that can make a girl fall for him.
Onew (SHINee)

Lee Jin-ki, better known by his stage name Onew, is a South Korean singer, actor, and MC. He debuted in 2008 as the leader and main vocalist of the boy group SHINee under SM Entertainment. Onew has also pursued solo music projects and has appeared in various television dramas and musicals.

Onew's voice is the sweetest in the world. His voice has the ability to touch one's heart and soothe it! It feels like honey flowing through your throat. He can sing with so much feeling that it can make u cry, literally! I honestly expected him to be within the top 5. He has such a unique voice, and there are even so many famous K-pop idols who have fallen for his heavenly, angelic voice! Mr. Perfect Onew is such a cutie pie, and the SHINee leader deserves to be in the top 5. For me, he is always number 1.

His voice is the best out there. Unique, accurate, and brilliant. He even held one note for 40+ seconds. That makes him one of the best. I've never heard a more angelic and beautiful voice ever. Ever!
