Wonder Girls Yoobin K-Pop Korean Music

Wonder Girls member Yoobin, finally pulled out the mouth plug and rapped live after months of lip syncing.

The live rapping session happened on July 19th via MBC's Music Core.

Yoobin's performance was a bit off. I guess she hasn't fully recovered yet, who would've thought that her vocal injuries were so deep throated.

Check out the July 19th MBC Music Core Live performance of So Hot below.

Yoobin saved that damn performance. Don’t get me wrong, I love WG, but don’t they hear themseleves??? Sometimes I wonder if they even try. They REALLY need to work on their lives! They def. have the moves down though.
Btw johnny either your last sentence was really dirty, or I’m a pervert lmao

I think Yoobin did good…
and Sohee’s getting me really annoyed…
idk…she doesn’t seem to try improving herself! even if everybody said that she does…it’s either she’s too proud of herself or it’s just a plain answer that she doesn’t have any musical talent…
song’s getting tired? I never really like it…

yoobin sang at a higher pitch and at least she sings better than sohee. Sohee was…all over the place.  They all sound out of breath to me.

SoHee may not be the best at singing but she has improved a lot since WG’s comeback.  This is of course my opinion and I’m not biased because I’ve watched all of their performances.  For YuBin, I think she should just keep lipsyncing and recover 100% than rushing it.

Junsufan, it’s so funny how you’ve always said that you’re Wonder Girls’ fan on other blogs. But here, which is anti-WG blog, you’re the opposite lol.  I don’t mean harm but next time stop proclaiming yourself as “Wonderful” and criticize openly lmao.

I’m a fan but they don’t sing really well live, that’s the truth.

Their dance is refrshing, but their voices are terrible.  That’s the fact.  I like Yoobin’s rough rap in the record version, so disappointed now with the high-toned rap here.

The dance was pretty good. The singing was terrible.

as much as i like WG and their song, they still have a lot of work to do on their lives… *cough cough* SOHEE *cough cough*

I think you guys need to acknowledge the fact that Sohee is doing her best. She may not be the best live - we all know that, and most of us seem to agree. Guys, she’s still young! Her voice is still maturing, and in my opinion, she has improved alot! Really. Yoobin<3 I missed her rapping so much, and she hasn’t fully recovered, apparently. But glad to hear her atleast trying, ya’know? smile FIGHTING WG!

I don’t think Sohee improved. The song just doesn’t suit her voice, she sounded a hell of a lot better in “Irony”. Yoobin…her rapping isn’t all that great. It gets annoying after a while.

seriously, do they not hear themselves? yoobin’s the only one that makes the group bearable. People need to shut up about how young sohee is trying to sing. She is a dance-singer and there is no excuse for not being able to do half her job. And the way her uncanny appearance is praised as the epitome of cuteness causes headaches. She’s not pleasing to look at.

oh please…stop making excuses for Sohee…alright, she’s trying her best…but to use her age?!there are girls or artists who are younger than her ans sing good…for example…BoA when she was still 13 and debuted, the Charice Pempengco girl…and DBSK members…they sing good even if they were below 16…she just can’t sing…she just doesn’t have any talent for singing…

YooBin’s the only one that makes the group bearable?  Sure, the lady can rap a little but not for real.  And I don’t think it’s only her that makes WG bearable, it’s all of them.  Besides, she’s as horrible as SoHee because when it’s her turn, she just goes everywhere rarely on the same note. She seems fake to me most of the time, always acting cute >.>  Bring HyunA back please!

don’t blame the girls. BLAME THE SONG. with a song like this, one can’t help but sing the song this way.

i hope JYP will let the girls promote a ballad to showcase their true vocal talents.

and yoobin should lipsync till she fully recovers rather than put up a not so great performance. kudos to her for trying hard though.

i thought she did good but it still looks like it hurts for her to use her voice. they look hot!

i think they should start moving towards that ballad song of theirs. it’s time to show some of their vocal abilities just a bit at least. hmm… she didn’t sound as bad you said. she did pretty well actually! :D

ahhhh, I ma sorry but I cannot understand how can SooHee suck so badly despite the intense practice sessions… after over 2 years I don’t think there is any hope for her… on the other hand though, being a pop idol is not about being able to sing… XDD

 

21 Jul 2008 - 09:07 AM36. crystal199187

i getting tired of dis song…

This isn’t an anti-WG site. Jesus. It’s the honest truth. Maybe So Hee did improve and I haven’t noticed, but she still sounds bad to me. They all sounded really bad in this performance. You can’t even blame the song since it’s their job to sing on key. I like this group but their lives just bug the hell out of me. If they know what’s best for them, they won’t start on ballads yet.

I finally gathered enough courage to watch the performance. A while ago I told myself that I would stop watching anymore WG lives in order to save my ears…I should have just stuck to my oath.

i thought they did well. They sound the same as in their other lives.
I think people should give them a break. They’re dancing and singing, it’s really not that easy. Try it.
It’s no excuse for Sohee, though. d0= Her voice is just bad… but she’s still decent and her vocals are improving… at least she’s not lipsynching like in Tell Me.
Yoobin sounded fine. People just need to get used to how it sounds live. No one was pleased with the first live, either ‘cause it sounded nothing like the track, which was of course edited to sound electronic.
—-
The only thing I didn’t like was how they kept the ending of Yoobin’s lines ‘cause she wasn’t blending well with it. I know they do it to the ends of most of the lines for that robotic sound or whatever… but yeah. It’s probably just me, but Yoobin’s pronounciation sounded different in some places.
—-
And, I still hate the way SunYe ends her “nan nomu motjyo” ‘cause she sounds like she’s about to choke.

yoobin is an awesome rapper as an idol singer,no joke
but compare her to some female rappers like Tasha,Lexy,that rapper from BEG,she looks like a beginner

yes,she raps better than hyuna does,but i like hyuna much more
btw,i’m a guy smile

Sohee DEFINITELY needs to work on her vocals. She’s cute, whatever but needs to sing better. AND im for yoobin all the way, she’s hot. And she sounded okay too..

The entire song was recorded with some kind of weird synthesizer or something. I couldn’t even recognize their voices when I heard the studio recording. Of course their live isn’t going to sound good. But Sohee… needs to work on the singing.

Yoobin ftw.
