[@henzchan3519]

Luna is an underrated main vocal. All in all SM main vocals are in a different league. Ningning's potential is huge. Taeyeon's experience plays a lot in her technique and consistency. She does know how to play with her strength. Wendy is just the balance of all. And she is constantly improving.

[@i-nerd9978]

Well said 👌

[@adrenaline2002]

I've always thought Luna was super underrated. She's such a strong vocalist

[@xxgxxnismilan6374]

Yeah , that's true & her senior too FROM girl group CJSH THE GRACE She name is LINA

[@chad_fiore]

I think it's because Luna has mastered the skills and techniques but lack Originality, which is important if you want to establish your name. Singers can belt and hit higher notes, but Originality is what makes people know in a snap of a finger that this voice belongs to this artist. When I hear one sentence from Taeyeon, Ningning, Rosé, Bom - I know they're the ones singing.

[@hangingtree9637]

@@chad_fiore I dont think she lacks originality, pretty sure I know it was her voice the second I hear them. She still consistently releasing music till now, and honestly its almost always amazing. You know what has been an issue about luna? its her visual. Even though she's always been really pretty, she's not fit to the korean beauty standard. When she started showing some skin, koreans critisized her crazily because she's tan and used to be so muscular. There's a video in yt explaining her diet journey after all the backlash about her body. And yk, you probably havent heard enough f(x), you probably need to listen to their album

I still can’t believe that SM wasted the talents of f(x) as a whole, especially Luna, who is such a strong vocalist, and not just for these points. I mean she out sung Red Light, a very loud EDM track that the other f(x) members couldn’t even sing over…that is a skill. She even sung Pretty Girl mostly on her own in that musical and almost rivaled the original track. Luna is such an angelic voice that’s got jack shit for her talent. Glad Broadway was totally up for her. Sm needs to push the visual crap down the toilet, since they worry about that crap way too much and let their artists actually sing, especially Ningning.

[@ninf5041]

Can't do anything about it, knetz is the top priority sm have to please, to conclude : sm = visual/Korean born idol, "if u have no visual & a non-Korean, please move to the side"

[@adamsmoberly]

@@ninf5041 What? SM is the biggest and most influential company in South Korea. They can make trends. If they pushed a campaign of letting idols not having to be unrealistically beautiful all the time and thin and such, the industry would be better. And if you seriously think a company can’t promote an idol, let along crappy songs (some songs are shit and still top the charts) and make then popular, then they can do the opposite. And Netizens need to go ahead and chill the fuck out. If they don’t have talent and aren’t doing what idols do, they really need to STFU.

I never knew about K-pop, but I was a fan of f(x) as a kid back then. Idk, but I never noticed Luna 😔 I was only aware of her presence a few months after, and I acknowledged her insane talent right away. I had asked my friend why she's the least popular, and she told me that she's not as appealing and charismatic as the other members. This is quite sad actually.

[@ardentthoughts9750]

​​@@BhaktManomandirVihariniUma iirc, there was an issue with the promotions too. like SM only announced her solo debut 5 days before her actual solo debut so the duration of the pre-order was very short 🤕 another factor is also her popularity as she's the least in that aspect in her f(x).

[@a_maze_in_kwangya]

Fun fact , Luna's family is full of classically trained singers, so it definitely shows. Even though she didn't major in classical music she excels in singing. I've always loved her, she's such a gem.

[@pranjalverma9455]

Amazing video! Would love to see a sm lead vocalists ranking as well!

[@sur_un_nuage]

luna is an underrated vocalist definitely like when people discuss best sm vocalists they sometimes leave her out or while discussing none sm vocalists hyolyn and ailee are often included but almost never her like people can honestly have their own opinion and think others are better but for her to not even be part of the discussion leaves me baffled she’s just too good, anyways if anyone is in new york you should definitely see her in her broadway musical debut stan luna stan talent

[@soundingitoutasmr]

I miss hearing Luna on Immortal Song and other singing shows. I hope she can find her way back onto one as a fixed member, because she deserves to be heard more.

[@hangingtree9637]

OMG! Thank you so so much for this, and thank you for including Luna. I always love watching your videos but feel kinda hopeless bcs I think you wouldn't mention anything f(x) related. It is such a surprised for me bcs September is the month that they debuted. I think between the big 3 kpop company, SM is the best to educate their artist about music. So, I'm sure we will see more of Ningning and ofc Wendy & Taeyeon. Taeyeon is probably my fave female vocalist in kpop, but I dont always liked her song. But with Luna, it feels like I have a special connection with her and f(x), like I almost always love her songs. F(x) is anything that I dont expect for a girlgroup at that time, even when they just debuted they have so much personality. Like even though they're performing as a team, their individuality shines, like there's no concept, its just them. Probably because of that SM makes f(x) as their experiment groups. And that just makes the groups even greater. F(x), even though they're popular, they dont really have a big loyal fanbase (well its ofc bcs of SM too). But the good thing about it tho, they seen more as an artist than an idol. After Electric Shock, they always comeback with a full album, its Pink Tape, Red Light and 4 Walls, people called them the Holy Trinity of kpop. Pink Tape is probably their most popular ones, it is so legendary that Billboard put the album as the best kpop album in the 2010s. And I remember thats the only idol's album that featured in top 100 best korean albums made by Melon. Pink Tape changed the way idols sell songs, where they used to only sell singles. And I think, the f(x) after Pink Tape era is probably the blueprint of 4th gen kpop groups. The experimentalism, the aesthetics and even the choreo reminded me so much of f(x). I always think f(x) is one of the unsung hero of kpop, like they break so many stereotypes, made so many trends, they even mentioned in so many western medias, yet they barely mentioned in todays kpop discussions. Thats why I'm so happy for this, Thank you once again, this really made my day. edit: I hope you listen to their albums, Luna has so many cool notes there, and ofc the music itself is incredible, its on par with todays kpop album if not better. i just made an essay, lol

[@lincolneyar8269]

I wish Taeyeon participated in more vocally oriented shows like Immortal Songs or even KOMS like girl, let's do it. Even Wendy seems to have more participation in said shows. Haha. I feel like it would really help polish her skills and improve even further.

[@jesusrivera0509]

I don't think she will, at least not in the near future .... she was once on a somewhat competition show were her "pride" was a bit hurt. Taeyeon has struggle with mental health and i don't think she would enjoy a show in which she has to compete, that and maybe she, sm or both want to "protect her image". There is a reason why taeyeon only really goes off on her own concerts in front of people who love her.

[@juansuarez0126]

I love Taeyon she is an amazing singer like one of the best but to compete with Luna and Lina from FX and the grace you just can't compete but Taeyon is still the best with her emotion, her and Jessica hard carried most of the vocals back in SNSDs early days. And her voice just has that iconic sound to it ❤️❤️

Tbh Luna is such a great vocalist, no one can deny that. It's such a pity that SM never appreciated her enough. Taeyeon is the greatest vocalist for me, because of her emotions whenever she sings, she just knows how to deliver. SM is so lucky to have her and never again they could find another Taeyeon. Ningning has so much potential. I bet she would sound so so good when she sings her own ballad songs. Her voice is so pleasant to listen to, ngl. Wendy, what more can I say, she nails every low and high notes. Chef kiss Overall I have no doubt in SM vocalists. They slay~~

If you would like to hear more of æspa´s live vocals, they sung live at the SMtown concerts (during the SMtown concert Ningning sung a duet with SHINee´s Onew, Giselle preformed ´ZOO´, Karina and Winter performd ´Step Back´ and they performed their own songs together), æspa´s ´SYNK´ showcase in LA and Japan, their ´MY SYNK. æspa´ fanmeet in Korea, the ´Tokyo Girls Collection´ (they basically sung live at all the paid shows, SM really said give me your money if you want to hear them live), they had two encore stages of ´Savage´ and on their yt channel is the recording video of their song ´Dream Come True´. I believe they also have some live stages of their song ´Forever´. I hope this helps
