After officially debuting with IVE, Jang Won Young who is also a former member of IZ*ONE showed a distinct voice that made his fans proud of his progress.
In addition to having a strong visual charm that is cute and beautiful, IVE's Jang Won Young also continues to amaze fans with his singing ability. With this former IZ*ONE member back in a new girl group, K-Pop fans are excited to see all of her skills and visuals on stage again.
IVE has officially debuted with their title song "Eleven". Due to IVE's stunning performance, fans also noticed how this girl group under Starship Entertainment has a stunning voice when performing it live.
In fact, in the video "IZ*ONE One-Reeler Premiere" that previously aired on YouTube, Jang Won Young once talked about hitting the high notes for the end of "Panorama". He revealed that the composer asked his iconic "Down, Down, Down" to be higher than he originally recorded.
"While recording the song, I tried a medium tone at first. But the composer said, 'Higher! Higher!' So… I tried to squeeze it, and finally the part became what it is now," said Jang Won Young.
Playing the pre-chorus, Jang Won Young's super catchy voice of "Eleven" over and over again, fans believe the "squeezed" tone is gone and sounds more natural and comfortable. While his part is still made up of notes that are relatively high in his vocal range, Jang Won Young doesn't sound so "gassy" anymore according to the post. Fans welcomed the change in Jang Won Young's singing style and praised Starship Entertainment for providing a more fitting part for the idol.
"Come to think of it, I think IZ * ONE's songs are all very high pitched. Even the main vocalist struggles. They also drive Japanese members crazy," wrote a fan comment. "Actually, when Jang Won Young was in IZ*ONE, people called her nasally even when she wasn't singing the high notes. The comments under the cover of her video would all talk about her tone of voice… After all, Wonyoung sounded a lot more natural with this new director. He is generally getting better at singing too. I'm very proud, I wish him the best," wrote another fan.
"It's not that I hated her voice before. But it sounds like her real voice. Much more comfortable and pleasant to hear. She's also good at singing!" fan comments. "Whoa, I think they finally found his vocal range," said another.
Meanwhile, with the change and improvement of Jang Won Young's voice after joining IVE, he received positive support from his fans. In celebration of Jang Won Young having found his voice, fans are endlessly supporting IVE's success as a leader in the fourth generation of K-Pop. (wk/taki)
