2PM: Vocal Ranking

[@foxeseco4494]

Lee Junho is one of the best all rounder in K-pop. He is one of the best performers. His singing and dancing skills are topnotch. Not only that, he composes, writes, produces all his songs, produces his albums and concerts. He is one of a kind and simply the best you can find in K-pop.

[@imactuallytrash3989]

Don’t forget about his acting

[@anapat06]

I believe one of the bests worldwide! I love him, well all of them

[@thetrangbui]

Even his breathing laughing is top notch 😂❤

[@ellabagnoschan-xf3ii]

I do agree with your ranking. Junho deserve the to be the top.

[@27seaglass]

I completely agree with your ranking! Junho is by far the most talented of the group. I agree with your order on all of them.

[@Julia-l4t6r]

Yes Junho is the best voice of 2 PM

[@paytonhenrich7376]

junho's has always been very impressive to me just because of how reliably he can replicate everything that he does. i don't think i've ever really heard a bad performance out of him or even a shaky one. sidenote: i'd love to see you do winner at some point with or without taehyun

[@zena9524]

Junho has always been my favorite because he has spectacular chops and a strong clear and stable voice plus he is their best dancer added to that his success in acting. A total talented man...he is good all around. I am glad he is finally being recognized because he was kind of not well covered in the early years of 2PM. Thank you Sam.

[@michaelmarquez5999]

Finally, recognition for Junho being technically cleaner! People always think that singers with a "bigger" voice are the better vocalists, but it's not always the case. I love Junho's voice honestly, and I like how you pointed out how he really knows his range which is what I noticed about him and why I thought he is slightly better. I recommend their song "One More Day" in their Grown album, my favorite song from the group. Oh and a fun little tidbit about Junho, he almost got kicked out of JYP when he was a trainee because he had a bad attitude and because he wasn't improving. Though the attitude was most likely due to age, it's crazy how much improvement and progress someone can make to the point of being one of a group's better/top vocalist.

[@artism53]

The reason why Junho almost be expelled, was not because of his bad attitude, but because he was considered by jyp to lack stage charm. In addition, he was a bit squeezed out by other trainees, so he used to come and go alone.

[@anonymous-cu8fv]

In addition, he had practiced his vocal so harshly, came down with a vocal cord nodule, had to take a rest at that time.

[@smotryu1]

JYP did not immediately see the fire and amazing charisma in him. Probably due to age. But they gave him a chance anyway. Now he is the most successful of their 2pm. Solo career and acting work is very good.

[@ellaenriquez4704]

I’m not an expert and not much into who’s better I’m just trusting my hearing a lot😅 every time I hear a song and my ears are enjoying the sounds that means the singer for me is great. That’s why Lee JunHo is my bias coz I really love his voice very much that I can listen to him 24/7🤗

[@ellaenriquez4704]

Thank you Sam for your honest opinion. God bless🤗

[@katyprarie]

Also the 'twin' in 2pm Junho and Wooyoung are so talented Main Vocal - Lead Dancer and Main Dancer - Lead Vocal 😌

[@izayakun6238]

Omggg yesss I totally agree with number one. Most fans say that jun k has a better voice but i always preferred junho’s

[@petkat0424]

IMHO (and I’m no expert), Junho sounds better as a solo artist. In 2PM he uses the trademark JYP sound. As a solo artist, he uses his natural voice. His solo music is beautiful. I love him.

[@merv7375]

I love when Junho and Jun K sing parts together. It is so full and beautiful.

[@ae-ribae6426]

Thank you for this great vocal ranking. I was so delighted when you recognised Lee Junho's vocal talent. Like other Baritone's in kpop, they tend to get overlooked, which I think is criminal. His is my favourite voice in 2pm (I prefer Baritone's myself), but I still appreciate Jun.K's unique voice and talent. I must say that I really enjoy your rankings because you critique fairly and honestly. So thank you for doing these rankings. They are so informative and a joy to watch.

[@zeniakaramali5633]

New kpop fans don't appreciate 2PM enough. I have heard so many people talk about JYP as the company with the "bad singers" when a whole 2PM exists. Also I just wanna mention I am too excited for the Nu'est video. Like it kept popping in my head at random times and yeah I'm really happy 🥺✊ I really appreciate your hard work thank you so much♡

It wasn't just 2pm it was 2am as well, also Yeeun and Sunye in WG, old JYP artists were extra good vocalists

[@sarahyoz92]

Amen 🙏

[@oliviam6332]

“Bad singers”- WTF? Have they ever heard Got7’s vocals?!

[@pennyquintero2983]

I remember the time when Chansung was consider the worst voice of 2PM. But he never stopped improving. And see him now. He made his voice unique and strong. For me, he is in the top 3. He has still a lot of potential.

[@yalocaldex]

tbh the one with the worst vocal technique was Nickhun. HIs vocal was always not stable but now he also already improved a lot.

[@delatoba]

Oh my goodness, this is totally my ranking as well. I love Junho's voice!!!

[@hanalily5854]

Once a hottest, always a hottest😉👍 2pm forever✌

[@blackswan2859]

Junho is the best indeed. ❤ Junho’s voice can make any songs better.

[@alexandraa7261]

Pleasantly surprised by Junho being #1. I always found his voice more vibrant and with better range and stability than Jun'.K's husky tone with limited range. I also notice that Junho often gets his lines in the later stages of 2PM's songs, because he has more stamina and is able to be stable with his lines even after dancing for most of the song.

[@27seaglass]

I noticed this as well.

[@minafathi7860]

I totally agree with you👌😃junho is so smart and know how to sing..he is better technically...also jun.k voice is so impressive especially high note

[@blackswan2859]

As much as I love Jun K but I agree I would also put Junho as first. He is a smart vocalist and knows how to take care of his voice.

[@jacksonmerrill2499]

I think Jun. K is first. He was main vocal before

[@blackswan2859]

@@jacksonmerrill2499 Main vocals were always Junho & Jun K but it’s more Junho particularly the first 3 albums, being JYP as the main producers on those albums and their Japanese Albums. It was changed from 4th album when Jun K became the main producer. Junho is still the main vocals depending on the producer of the song.

His performance in Masked Singer also justify this no.1 placement of him. His always been so good at everything he does.

You actually placed my Bias on Nr1! Btw, you had the same Opinions about both Jun.K and Junho which surprised me because People usually don't agree with me.

[@ryoon6139]

I would definitely put Junho’s voice first too. Junho has sweet, dreamy, technical powerful voice too…this is the best value he has as a singer👍👍👍👍

[@Krystal109]

Old school... clicking hard for the memories.

[@ddreileyz]

YAY. When I first started listening to 2pm it was Junho's voice that stood out for me...yes even better than JunK's specifically because I believe JunK has a nasally sounding voice (which Mr Sam pointed out). I love, love, love that he said Junho's voice was the best because that is what I've believed since I discovered 2pm. Junho doesn't get enough credit for what he does in the KPOP industry. I was actually waiting for another rendition of someone saying JunK was the best singer. I was pleasantly surprised.

[@021xhan]

i really thought that I am just bias coz i really like Junho compared to JunK when it comes to singing. he is both good at singing and dancing... now he includes acting too..♥️

[@doraelf8502]

I'm only slightly familiar with 2pm, and am pleasantly surprised. They have great vocalists that each sing with very different styles, which I really appreciate in a group. Great video as always 😊

[@izayakun6238]

I really like junho’s voice and thanks for the amazing video as always 💜

[@AF-be5xr]

Junho is the best vocal, obviously💛🥰

[@meiferra2289]

I'm definately 100% agree with you

[@galaxyo2538]

Firstly I was shocked when I saw JUN.K at 2nd place I want to put Junho and Jun.K at first place 😁 but I really agree and respect your choice I love all of them. They are all uniq and different and sometimes I wonder how they made a group, really different group 😍😍 and I'm really thankful for this video and I enjoy it too 😍😍😍

[@nileniale]

I do love Junho’s falsetto and only wish he had developed his lower range more. Always wanted a predominantly baritone song from him but it seems he prefers to use his falsetto at the higher end. Jun. K’s voice is very distinctive. I think he also has a great musicality. I enjoy his self-composed music probably the most out of all the members, all of whom have composed music. In any case, all of them have improved massively since debut. I love how all their voices blend on their tracks and how all members get a decent amount of lines to shine.

[@irenemellia9083]

OH MY GOD 2PM MY ULTIMATE GROUP SINCE I WAS IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL 😭😭😭 To be really honest I didn't expect you to do analysis of them 😭 and I'm very happy for it 😭😭😭💕💕💕 Thank you so much! I've been stanning them since 2010 and this brings so much memories..... newer k-pop fans should try to listen to them! You guys won't be disappointed! :)

[@mihaelasgondea3830]

I'm not disappointed of 2PM ....I start listening them because of JunHo....I discovered him since King the Land,then with "Say Yes" and others songs......and now I can't get enough of them ,I can't get enough of Lee Jun Ho! I love his soft voice ❤❤❤ ❤❤ I love 2PM's songs especially "Beautiful" , " Merry go round" ," " Comeback when you hear this song" ," Gimme the light" ❤❤❤❤ ❤❤

[@ricecake1010]

I was surprised to see who was no 1 and no 2 but after your explanation and hearing the vocal samples I totally agree with the ranking assessment.

[@chyennetatum3541]

I miss talking about 2PM, they've consistently been one of my favorite groups with some of my favorite vocalists throughout the years. I can definitely see both sides of the argument with Junho vs Jun. K and I had a feeling of who you might pick haha. Like you said, Jun. K's voice stylistically leans more towards R&B, which is he's my personal favorite but also Junho's falsettos are the death of me....AND YES CHANSUNG DESERVES MORE CREDIT!!! Idk how much of 2PM's music you've listened to, but i highly recommend Wanna Love You Again for more rich Chansung vocals :) and speaking of 2nd gen JYP groups, do you think you'll get to Wonder Girls soon? I'd love to hear your thoughts on them too!

[@chubbyhamster9741]

I love Junho’s soft voice

[@Alexa18900]

I love baritones tbh Also nu'est is pronounced as new east

[@nurwadhihahainfadhilah995]

I ranked them the same as you did, and the Junbros are a tough race. But in the end, all of their vocals mixed well and as a group, they shined way better than they did solo.

[@alexandraa7261]

I'd say Junho's solos show off his talents and individual presence much more than when he is with 2PM. In the group he consciously blends in.

[@Lorreyla]

I loved 2PM and Junho's voice is one of my favorites. I am so excited to see The Nu'est is next. They are in my top 3 of all groups and have one of the most unusual voices for their main singer. I really look forward to your opinion.

[@nourouis3239]

Eternal battle, natural talent vs. Hard work+ talent! Glad you put junho first though! He's my bias!

[@2daysbeforexmas]

A little surprised that Jun K got No.2 and Junho got no. 1, but I'd like to tell that I'm attracted to Junho's voice since the beginning. Thank you for your video :)

[@evs3000]

I miss 2pm soo much, this video has kind of a nostalgic vibe to it cause it brings back memories..thank you

[@yalocaldex]

Junho vocal is very pop like. HIs vocal is the type of voice that you will always hear in pop song while Jun. k has a very opera or ballad type of vocal with runs, growl and everything. I would say they're on the same level but it's just preference which style do you prefer.

[@PearlAquaOcean]

Yyyyyyyyyyyyyeeeeeessssssssssssssss 2PM. Some of my og boys! Thanks for giving them the time and respect they deserve when most people look over them.

[@peachtree5065]

Thanks for the review for great insight. I agree on the ranking and this review gives more detailed explanation esp. on rank 1 & 2.

[@clauu9370]

I actually think that both Jun.K and Junho are more or less on the same level and that at the end of the day, it comes down to what kind of style you prefer. This is because they have COMPLETLY different voices! Junho has a more "pop" voice (idk how to explain it lmao, and when I say pop I do not mean it in a negative way at all), while Jun.K has a very theatrical voice, a lot more raspy, etc (which makes a lot of sense since he has been doing musical theater since 2012) I think they are both phenomenal singers some of the best! I myself, prefer Jun.K tho. I think he has one of the most unique vocal tones in the industry, I don't think I ever heard anyone else sound like him. I actually saw once this reaction of this woman comparing his voice to a musical instrument and I couldn't agree more. So if I had to choose it would be Jun.K.

[@harini6092]

I haven't heard much of 2PM but if the person in last place has a lovely voice then I should definitely check them out

[@Hana_M622]

You should definitely check them out. All of them can sing live stabily even while dancing heavily. They're all super talented. Basically they make their own music. All of them write the lyrics and compose the songs on their albums. Plus, they are all actors. So, they have solid solo careers outside the group

[@ecclesiastes3.11]

They have improved a lot over the years and I hope you will also support them on their comeback on June 28🥰

Wish he can always keep calm and carry on, even though he is so popular now, and become even better and truly distinguished actor and singer.

[@nguyenthanhle312]

I had been so sure the first place was Jun. K until I saw him running second. I like Junho the best in 2PM, but I have to admit that Jun. K's voice is more unique. Sometimes I can't distinguish Junho and Wooyoung when they sing. As an amateur, I know nothing about singing technique, so I'm glad that you appreciate Junho's voice in a technical manner.

[@Yiyithaa]

I’ve been a fan of 2pm ever since 2009 and what I enjoy the most about this group is how well all the members voices go together, but also having a distinctive sound each of them, makes the songs so balanced

[@michaelasollbock2644]

Thank you for seeing JunHo’s skills for what they are. I have been a beastly boys fan for quite some time and for a long time I thought that JunHo was underrated. It is not just his technical skills, which are fantastic, but his diversity in the songs he sings that make him so enigmatic. I have most of 2PM’s music and pretty much all of JunHo’s solo albums, and the one thing that I absolutely love about him is how perfectly his singing adjusts to so many styles. He has one of the best and most controlled falsettos that I have heard, his notes held cleanly and without excessive vibrato. His live “Believe” video gave me goosebumps and brought me to tears. The emotions that he conveys in his songs, whether happy, energetic, sexy, or sad, shine through his performances. And last but not least, no matter what range he sings in, his voice has a very manly quality to it. It is a well deserved first place. 😊
