B1A4, Baro, B.A.P, Bang Yong Guk, Big Bang, T.O.P, Block B, , EXO, Chanyeol

I remember when I first heard Big Bang's T.O.P�rapping and his deep voice, I thought, wow, that's attractive.�

I guess I'm one of those girls really attracted to low baritones (makes sense, considering who my biggest bias is right now), but T.O.P's voice really stood out to me. Back when T.O.P came out, he had a sizzling face to go with his voice. More recently, we've got more and more idols with 1000-feet-below-earth deep voices - but�their�faces are adorably cute!�

EXO's Chanyeol

Okay, let's first start off light. Chanyeol's voice isn't as deep as the rest of the boys on this list, but still! How can one of the happiest members of EXO have the deepest voice in the group? Whenever I see Chanyeol, he's smiling from ear-to-ear, or otherwise being a general cutie. Other members might have the cool, charismatic image, but Chanyeol definitely has the cute, happy-go-lucky one.�

Of course, that's only until you hear his voice. His smile will bedazzle you.... and then he hits you with his super low voice. While definitely not as deep as others like T.O.P, that voice is still not something you expect coming from those smiling lips!

You can hear his voice here: (also featuring Kris!)

Block B's P.O

P.O�is the maknae of his group, and while he's not the biggest babyface in the group (that title goes to the oldest one,�Taeil) he's still one of the cuties. Sure, sometimes in pictures they'll style him so he looks cool and all that, and he tries to be cool sometimes, but his intense need to smile always pops up.�

And then of course you hear his voice, which has been described multiple times as the 'deep cave voice'. You haven't heard the best of it until he does aegyo�with that voice of his. It's the lethal combination for fangirls.�You can hear his voice below (no aegyo, sadly, because I couldn't find a good enough video. Boo.).

B1A4's Baro

I'll be honest. For me, Baro�was the biggest shock on this list. I got into Baro and B1A4�during their "Try to Walk" days (yes, I know, late), and I remember watching their MV and going, "??? That voice?? With that face???".�

For someone whose nickname is 'Squirrel Princess' and has dyed his hair multiple shades of pink and purple, Baro's voice floored me. I specifically remember going crazy to one of our other writers when I heard his voice. It went kind of along the lines of "HOW CAN SOMEONE WITH THAT FACE HAVE THAT VOICE".

You can hear the "Try to Walk" rap here:

B.A.P's Bang Yong Guk

I know, I know. You guys aren't even surprised to see him on my list. A lot of you may not agree with me that he has a babyface, but lately he must have bathed in the blood of virgins or something, because his face keeps getting younger and younger.�

Bang Yong Guk�is probably one of the more famous cases of the deep baritone K-pop has right now - in fact, he's got such a unique voice that a lot of other idols offer to imitate him as their special talent on variety shows. What's more, while some of the others' talking voices differ from their deep rapping voices, Bang Yong Guk's speaking voice is just as low as (if not lower than) his rapping voice.
