WBW: The Best Singers of SM, YG & JYP (Kangta)

I’m not a huge fan of the many audition shows that are out there these days but the one that I do follow on a regular basis is ‘K-Pop Star‘. It seems that this show, more than others, is primarily focused on identifying young talent at an early stage in their careers and teaching them how to grow as a performer which I think is really cool. But the real intriguing part is to watch the different philosophies between the three judges. While there is definite overlap, BoA (SM Entertainment), J.Y. Park (JYP Entertainment), and Yang Hyun Suk (YG Entertainment) each have their own unique perspectives when looking for and choosing which participants they want to ‘cast’ for their companies. That got me to thinking, how have the companies they represent fared over the years in finding that talent? Since the show is basically a singing competition, I thought we’d take a look at the three best vocalists that have come from these companies over the years. The list, in no particular order, is subjective because I have my own personal tastes but it really is pretty amazing at the amount of talent that’s on the list.

 

Kangta
Kangta (An Chil Hyun) was the lead singer of the original idol group H.O.T. He eventually became known for his smooth yet powerful vocals as he helped make H.O.T. the most popular musical act of their day. He went onto a successful solo career after the group’s disbandment in 2001 and has a very lucrative career in China. There have been talks of H.O.T’s reunion over the years but I know K-pop fans would just like to hear him again.
