Why Day6's Young K is my favorite K-Pop vocalist

[@iambutpaper1172]

someone: why do you love this young k? umu, me, my days, the world playing this video: we're glad you asked

[@umucado]

The world: why do you like this dude’s voice so much? Me: *cracks knuckles* I’ll write you an essay explaining why

[@drumbumJulie]

@@umucado BAHAHAHA!! but ftr, a sign of a great artist is that they light the wick on creativity/inspiration in others. look at the amount of art (visual and audio) that day6 (and youngk specifically) inspire - def a sign of greatness :) so what i'm trying to say is that not every artist would inspire someone to "write an essay" (or make awesome analytical videos) delving into the awesomeness and when that does happen, i think it's a sign that something truly remarkable is going on. does this make any sense??

[@nssn2378]

+ dont make us start telling u all his works and ambitious take on life or all his kind words and attitudes :")

He's a vocal chameleon.

[@ririnkholidiana9360]

The "she's gone cover" is the ultimate I think. I never imagine that he would cover that song tho

[@youwontknowme2518]

TRUE and he cracked just once and his vibrato is AMAZING and he didn't even use more than one or two falsetto......

[@smrj1374]

I swear he killed that tho

[@danikulaczz7943]

It was suck a crack video but I still can't believe he did that🤡

[@chansrubberduckie6127]

it was from day6’s karaoke vlive and him and jae were just messing around but still… imagine if he actually did a serious cover of she’s gone 🙂😟😳

[@soap8098]

This video is basically a “Day6’s entire discography but it’s only Young K’s lines” and im here for it

[@seasidecarnival]

This is why even if he isn't my bias, I really think YoungK is such a blessing to have in the group. Day6 is just an awesome group tbh. For those who haven't stanned yet, never too late.

[@lobnahanfy8645]

I'm OT5 cuz I don't want to choose a bais..I feel the 5 really deserve the love not only one😂😂Ok so the real reason IS THAT IT'S TOO HARD TO CHOOSE A BAIS..but here we go I see what youngk is doing right there😭😭

[@sonnyannflores2705]

I got my boyfriend into Day6 by showing him YoungK and Jae’s cover of She’s Gone. Now he thinks YoungK is the best vocalist out there

[@DeeRafatSweileh]

He's a keeper.

[@cie.4308]

Good for you!:) He's a keeper alright. I showed She's Gone video to my boyfriend but I only got to make him interested for 2-3 videos (mostly the English covers). :(

[@sonnyannflores2705]

Grae Siasoco aww dont feel too bad. We still have different tastes in music and that’s alright hahahaha

“When YoungK is having fun.... YOU KNOW IT.” YESSSSSSSS!!!

Yaaaaaaasss

[@alechandraocampo2805]

I ACTUALLY LOVED I'M SERIOUS BECAUSE OF HIS ADLIBS WHEN THEY'RE SINGING IT LIVE

[@Syasyaa7]

Trueeeee. I'm always thankful for his adlibs when they sang live. that dedication 😍

[@ivyjoybanas7219]

Yes his 'I'm Serious" adlibs are always mind blowing...

[@moonchild943]

Ikr, his part is my fav, he just naild it

[@kokobawp8865]

hi profile pic twin lol

[@abunchofhoneybees]

Speaking on his versatility, I played all his young one covers in the car and my sister said 'wow all these people are really good singers' and was so surprised when I said they were all sung by the same guy

[@RachelBug97]

The fact that this is 22 minutes long. Umu, you are an inspiration

[@linettevargas3061]

If I didn't see this, I haven't even know is that long

[@minari6135]

damn i was so absorbed i didnt notice the time

[@geniuskags]

young k voice just hits different live, i honestly couldn’t believe what i was hearing most of the time

[@SKZDanceTutorials]

7:30 this is the coolest way of depicting the low notes and high notes of a melodic range! Proper notation for the music theory nerds, but also set up visually and spatially so everyone else can see where the low/high notes are too :D UMU YOUR MIND!!

[@catadiaz1080]

Even if Young K it's not your bias, he is your bias

[@hawkravenclaw]

He kills low notes, high notes, falsetto, very stable, supported, resonant, and HE CAN RAP

[@99jei63]

+dance 😏

[@vanessarl8]

You are NEVER bored with any song with his entire voice always changing the songs not knowing what to expect, I LOVE it :')

[@a_ash_k]

I remeber watching this 3 years ago being so goddamn excited that someone understood why I was so obsessed with this man and his voice it's 2024 and look at him now getting the recognition he deserves this truly aged like fine wine 💞

[@ace4x3]

This is the reason why I have the hardest time recognizing his voice in songs. He's so versatile, he can easily sound like one person in a song, then a completely different person in another.

[@choochoo9465]

when he got eliminated in round2 at the king of masked singer program, I was totally disappointed, if only they knew how versatile n talented he is, surely they will regret their decision.they should have listened to him more.

[@sonnyannflores2705]

Choo Patiu not lot of idols last in the show but i think that’s planned coz of the tight schedules they have.

[@Gina-qn5cd]

I think that happened to Kyuhyun from SuJu in his 1st presentation and now he's one of the kings, so my hopes are still high

[@gragalakaisel1477]

Sonny Ann Flores yeah I think so too.

[@crystalllite]

i was sad when he got eliminated too BUT then i watched the person he lost to and i was like DAMN i understand why he lost lmao bc the person he lost to was REALLY GOOD

[@guggin4594]

@@crystalllite who was the person he lost to?

[@vanessarl8]

The fact that he done a lot more variations of songs, specially "I'm serious", that you can make a long video!

[@SomeOne-ps8wo]

A video about Young K without mentioning the B-word? PERFECT AND IT SHOULD STAY THAT WAY, INCLUDING THE COMMENTS. He deserves all the praise and thank you Umu for putting it into words as to why Young K's a great vocalist.

[@afrafairuz6074]

Some One YES YES YES TT IM SO HAPPY THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY

[@angelabak-a3526]

Young K said on his IG live (January 2020) that he doesn't care anymore. We can call him Brian, Young K or Younghyun. He said he's all of them haha

[@nhihihi5]

Who's Brian? And why his name a cush word?

[@SomeOne-ps8wo]

Yes lol, funny that my comment was made just a few week before this lol 😂, let's respect his wishes

[@ssamu756]

[@bearr9056]

I've been craving for a Youngk vocal video like this and finally found this... craving satisfied 1000%

[@yymmas]

omg u included the she's gone cover HELL YEAH

[@mamanaf]

U took it literally out of my mouth 💕

[@alechandraocampo2805]

I like that "breathy and sexy vocals"

[@danjor5749]

I’m the same, Young K is also my favorite singer in K-Pop. My man got VOCALS.

[@sarahcp13]

A 22 minute video about youngk I didnt know I needed... bless up

[@kima1767]

I also love his diction both korean and english.. So clear

[@itsalsorowan]

also, I wanna highlight how his voice blends/harmonizes/etc SO WELL with the other members' voices, I personally like how it does with Jae's (please refer to 13:39 and 13:48) but it really does nice with everyone, which deserves merit bc not everyone has the same style and/or voice type but he NAILS it always, a bit of an example of his flexibility. umu snapped w this vid, younghyun snapped w his vocals.

[@zxyfphr6512]

But she didnt include YoungK's true talent: . . . . . mouth trumpet

[@quogarum5826]

YESS I'm a new fan and when I first heard that I couldn't process it lol

[@muhahahahahahahahahahah]

Also the fact that this dude is the rapper composer of the team as well An absolute ace is he Youngk. Brian. A legend.

[@david3divid]

Anyone revisiting after YoungK's latest solo mini album? So proud of all that he's accomplished before signing off into military service!

[@hyperrealsg]

Revisiting this video after watching his solo concert as well as his short cover of AKMU's Dinosaur

[@chansrubberduckie6127]

but one of my favorite things whenever he sings is how you can just *hear* him smiling wjwjehejejhei

[@chansrubberduckie6127]

& how he’s always smiling when singing lol

[@kristin123a]

I know three Kpop vocalists who’s completely in control and always sounds like it. Doesn’t sing safe, but you never doubt that they’re gonna hit whatever they try to hit. That’s Young K, Kyuhyun and Jonghyun. There are other vocalists who might sound more “interesting” or keep you on the edge of your seat, but sometimes you just really want to appreciate the clear, total control perfection.

[@ivyjoybanas7219]

Yes! Young K and Kyuhyun my ultimates

[@skzanarchist]

young k and jonghyun yess❤

[@music22myears]

I've missed most of his harmonizations in the songs until you pointed them out, no matter how many times I've replayed their songs 🙄 This video has made me appreciate Young K's voice and DAY6 songs as a whole better, so thanks a lot for your dedication!! (PS it's the first time I see someone crediting a video with a picture instead of with the username)

[@bribrikay6085]

K in YoungK stands for KING 👑

[@lachristians]

i think we are unanimous here when we say it doesn't matter if it's a lengthy vid esp if it's an appreciation video abt youngk's vocals! thank you so much for this! i hope youngk reaches this video!!!

[@jilliet9163]

His voice is so versatile, sometimes I distinguish his voice on Day6’s songs through process of elimination lol

[@deskdrummergirl5980]

Screamed when I saw the notification. Cried while watching this. LEGIT. I mean I know he's a great vocalist. It's one of the reasons why I love him, but to see this---to explain in detail why he's the best, it overwhelmed me. I hope through this video more people will know him and listen to their music and acknowledge their insane talent. 'Cause darn it, they deserve so much more recognition. Thank you, thank you for this, Umu.

[@meganechan224]

IF I AM UNABLE TO GO TO A SINGLE DAY6 CONCERT IN MY ENTIRE EXISTENCE I FAILED IN LIFE

[@younkfeel5179]

He’s my favorite kpop vocalist too.. no one can change my mind..

[@minari6135]

I was so absorbed into the video i didn't even notice it was 22 minutes long

[@suz5191]

I feel like this video is actually very timely because I've recently been suuuuper falling in love with Young K's vocals When I was only first getting into Day6 and still trying to get a feel for everyone's voices and how to recognize them and such, I felt like Brian's voice was the hardest for me to recognize cause everyone else has such distinct singing voices. But I think your point about versatility is really important and that might be why it took me the longest to recognize his voice.

[@liladymusic]

Suzanne Tan I had to compare with the others voices cause I could recognise them lol so if it wasn’t them it was him 😂

[@andhikaputrikusumadewi6240]

Same guys, omg i think it's only me 😂😍😭

[@suz5191]

@@liladymusic yes lololol at first it was just a process of elimination where if it wasn't one of the other members it had to be Young K

[@ivyjoybanas7219]

same here... sometimes he sounded like other members.... But now I can clearly identify his voice...

[@naura1084]

TRUUEEE I thought his voice was less unique but i was wrong. It was all about versatility. Umu, thanks for pointing this out. This is such an enlightment for me. And I feel bad for my thoughts about young k's voice back then 😂 ☮️✌

[@mikulover493]

i always come back to this video

[@SKZDanceTutorials]

This is such a well researched and put-together compilation! Umu thank you for gathering so many clips and showcasing YoungK's vocal abilities and musicianship, he'd be proud to watch this :) Happy birthday YoungK!

[@zzzonline]

This is just entire day6's discography but only YoungK parts... what I exactly needed ✋🏼

[@viv6700]

“marathon” is possibly one of my favorite examples of his voice. also his harmonies in “i’ll try” are just tear-worthy

[@shrishtipatley2753]

The section about his backing vocals is therapy I recommend

[@callilou.x]

His variations when singing live is what finally made me realise.. wow he’s my favourite singer. They’re so controlled and still fit in with the song. I really admire his voice.

[@cathy2418]

Having had the great HONOR to see him live twice. HE REALLY DOES SOUND FREAKING AMAZING LIVE. You just forget where you are, and drift of to a safe place.

[@doitforyoungk]

I Would became my favorite DAY6 song of him 😭😭😭😭 whenever the first part comes on my body automatically stops, I just can't get enough of his voice

[@umucado]

Saaaaaaaame

[@AlonsoYara]

I Would is like the 1st Day6 song I listened and as soon as he sang the first part, I was like, 'Boy, this is a dangerous song'. And I became a MyDay after.

[@tayearist3039]

i comeback to here everytime i feel i should appreciate Young K’s vocals. if someone ask me who the best korean singer out there, i’ll definitely saying his name. his range are wide and i can’t even tell how he manage his voices like that AND SINGING IT LIKE WHAT HE WANT. i mean, for someone who’s blind about vocals, they will still know how good his skills is. he comes with different colors also tone, and he killed it. it’s sometimes (not sometimes, maybe, 24/7) make me goosebump and it’s too mindblowing everytime i heard his part or analyzing his voices as a person who not really understand vocals. even, my mom give a thumbs up for him when i showing her the “she’s gone” cover. the fact, HE HIT THAT HIGH NOTE SMOOTHLY. just tell you everything why i titled him as king of vocals.

I am a 3 month old MyDay and I must agree with you that I was super intrigued when I realised that Young K’s voice was everywhere in Day6’s background vocals! Also, the way he effortlessly harmonizes with the other members (or sing the Ooos and ahhhs) when performing live got me crazy. He has a lot of patience, a good ear, and control over his voice indeed. He is a testament of someone who truly loves and appreciates good-sounding music! Love his entire lower, mid and high register...lol, basically his entire voice :) He got me interested to find out more about Day6, especially the bass lines that he plays in all their songs - they’re so tuneful and tasteful arghhh. Thanks for this wonderful video!
