Wheesung
COUNTRY: South Korea
GENRE: R&B, Soul, Pop
LAST ALBUM/EP: The Best Man (2014)
INFO: Wheesung (aka RealSlow) is arguable the best R&B voice in South Korea. His tones are rich, he emotes like crazy, and his range is one to be envied. Throw on top of that his dancing skills and the fact that boy is damn fine and you have a winning combination.
It’s hard to choose a favorite track from Wheesung; he’s been singing since 1999 and has six albums, three EPs, and various one-off singles. But if we force ourselves to, our favorite Korean language track would have to be Fading Star from his 2008 EP, With All My Heart And Soul. And, of course, our favorite English language track would be his remake of Johnny Gill’s (yes; you read that right) My, My My.

Okay, for a bonus, we’re throwing his most recent single Night & Day. (Props to him for getting Cap and Yura for the video; inside thing.)



I will. One thing I noticed Business Insider does that I appreciate is they have an option to view their slides all as one page for mobile devices.
That is how I first came upon Ayumi — watching InuYasha. I instantly fell in love with “Dearest” that night.
BoA’s “Eat You Up” was permanently in my playlist after I saw her perform it at Madison Square Garden. Boss! 🙂
Big Bang is definitely a favorite, though I lean more towards T.O.P. and Daesung. And then there’s Rain, who has spoiled me for other entertainers since 2006. It’s amazing to me that you choose his 2008 MKMF performance for this post. I’ve always felt that that performance is his absolute best TV stage that he’s ever done, to date (and that’s saying something).
We have a lot in common. I am a proud Cloud and MKMF 2008 showcases why he is The King of Kopp. T.O.P is a lyrical beast and I haven’t stopped playing “Doom Dada” since I first heard it. I was thinking of making this a series and posting some throwback tracks. Your comment makes me lean more towards that.
“T.O.P. is a lyrical beast.” You got that right! 🙂
