The Top Ten
Ailee Amy Lee (born May 30, 1989), better known by her stage name Ailee, is an American singer based in South Korea. She is signed to YMC Entertainment in South Korea and Warner Music in Japan... read more

She is, by far, the best K-pop vocalist. SoHyang is not really an idol, and well, she's on another level, but we're talking about Ailee.

She can sing very high, has great control, and can give you goosebumps. I've never heard any nasality in her voice. Have you seen her I Will Always Love You performance? Well, go watch it!

I don't understand why K-pop haters keep saying that idols can't sing just because some use lip sync. Ailee is one of the reasons you should stop being ignorant. I can't believe she used to do covers on YouTube - she was so young and improved so much back then. Plus, she has a natural beauty.

Since her debut, she was a goddess and still is.

His voice is unreal! Like, how do you sing this high? That takes talent!

I'm not voting for him just because he's my bias but because he has an awesome voice. But why is he second and not first? We all know he has an angelic voice!

Jungkook is one of the most talented artists in the world. His vocals and amazing presence on and off stage make him an artist who exceeds all expectations.

That's why he's called the GOLDEN MAKNAE and MAIN VOCALIST!

The best vocalist, hands down. He can sing any and all kinds of tunes and melodies effortlessly and naturally.

If angels were to sing to us, it would be with his voice.

I first noticed him when he sang Ring Ding Dong live with those amazing high notes! He's an incredible singer and songwriter.

V (BTS)

His dancing is good. His vocals are really good. He is cute and handsome. He made BTS shine as well! Don't you guys think V is amazing?

Can't get enough of his voice. If you ever want to know how to put soul into a tune, a melody, or a song, listen to him sing.

He is a full package! Blessed with singing, dancing, and he also has the looks! Amazing man!

Hyolyn (Sistar)

She's known as the Korean version of Beyoncé because of her beautiful tone and incredible singing technique.

She can also rap! She was on Unpretty Rapstar 2, and my favorite performance of hers was "My Love," which she made in honor of her cat.

Lee Taemin (SHINee)
Baekhyun (EXO)
Luna (f(x))

The Newcomers

? Kim Namjoon (BTS)

RM, please read. This guy is probably the most handsome man I've ever laid eyes on. I look up to Namjoon, and I've always wanted to tell him how inspired I am by him. He has really saved me with his lyrics and vocals. RM saved my life from hating myself.

Do ARMYs remember his Billboard speech? At the end, when he said, "Love Yourself, Love Myself," I felt like crying my eyes out because this guy made me love myself for as long as I've loved him. The lyrics he wrote really saved me. "Magic Shop" saved me from hiding my emotions.

So RM, Kim Namjoon, Master of Destruction, I love you so much. You've saved my life in so many ways. I'm really glad I bumped into this cutie. Thank you, Namjoon!

? 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. Kim Hyun-Joong has also played roles in the Korean dramas Boys Over Flowers and Playful Kiss.
The Contenders
Park Ji-min (BTS)

The way he releases air while singing and those squeaks at the end of a phrase - mind-blowing.

Park Ji-min deserves to be in the top ten. He is way better than #32!?

ARMYs all around the world love and adore him. FIGHTING! -Your number one fan!

Jimin is so cute and one of the best singers I have ever heard. No one can literally replace him.

Kim Seokjin (BTS)

Everybody says his voice is not that good, but I don't think so. I think his voice is beautiful. It's just that the songs BTS normally does aren't really his genre.

If you want to hear how beautiful his voice can be, just listen to So Far Away by Suga, Jin, and Jungkook. You can hardly differentiate his voice from Jungkook's, and Jeon Jungkook is right up there in the top 5. VOTE FOR KIM SEOKJIN!

Wonderful vocal tone, and he can convey emotions so naturally and genuinely.

Worldwide handsome impresses me with his looks and voice. I love this dude.

Jung Hoseok (J-Hope) (BTS)

A woefully underappreciated voice. His sense of rhythm is unmatched, his cadence while rapping is flawless.

And when he sings? Well, let's just say you'd better be sitting down to avoid swooning over the velvety tone of his voice.

He's my hope, your hope, IT'S JAY-HOPE! This sunshine changed my life with his voice, humor, and of course, that cute little smile!

G-Dragon (Big Bang)
Kyuhyun (Super Junior) Cho Kyu-hyun (born February 3, 1988) is a South Korean singer and actor. He is a member of the South Korean boy band Super Junior, its sub-groups, Super Junior-M and Super Junior-K.R.Y., and a former member of the South Korean ballad group S.M. The Ballad. He is one of the first four Korean artists... read more

Even though he's a ballad singer, he fits well within a group like Super Junior. His voice is so versatile! You'd know what I mean if you've seen his rock performance on Immortal Songs 2.

I love his tone, he has great technique, and he is very consistent. Definitely a strong singer and a gem in the K-pop industry!

Okay, this has to be a joke. Why is he this low? Just look at his supported range - that already says a lot.

He should be in 1st place. Jungkook before Kyu? Is this a joke?

IU Lee Ji-eun, also known by her stage name IU, is a South Korean singer-songwriter, record producer and actress.

IU has the most charming voice I have ever heard. She was the one who got me into K-pop.

Do you know how popular she is and how much money she is making? I mean, JYP should have accepted her when she auditioned.

IU is my favorite singer in the world. I like you, IU - I mean, Lee Ji-eun.

Taeyeon (Girls' Generation)

Like, the most perfect girl ever? With a beautiful, sincere, and soulful voice, an adorable personality, and great looks as well?

She should be #2 after Ailee. I love her soft yet powerful voice. She is the best.

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.
Kim Jongdae (Chen) (EXO)

You know this list is a joke when Chen is placed so low.

Do Kyung-soo (D.O.) (EXO)

He's a little cutie, but as far as vocals go, he can out-sing anybody in the K-pop world. I love his voice.

Park Bom (2NE1)
Onew (SHINee)
Nayeon (Twice)
