Not just K-pop, but the artist is compared to world-class singers, including the likes of Whitney Houston.

In numerous dance routines, he was put in the centre position because of his capability of smoothly performing the intricate choreographies with ease. Moreover, his movements are astonishingly fluid, which makes the performances even more eye-catching. Additionally, he also took up multiple K-pop dance lessons for fans, further proving his talent in the art form.

Successful Solo Artist

The artist officially debuted as a solo artist in 2019 with the album UN Village, and it was widely well-received by fans and non-fans alike. He sold more than 500,000 copies with his first album and set the high bar for other K-pop soloists. In 2020, he released his second solo album, Delight, and with that, he became the first million-seller solo artist after two decades in South Korea. However, his accomplishment did not end there; he went on two become two time million seller solo artist with his third album Bambi.
