Chanyeol has such a beautiful, husky and deep voice that is so soothing and comforting, I can just listen to it again and again and never get tired of it and I love his range when he sings covers and can't choose my favorite cover from him. I always wish that he get more lines lol. That's why EXO-SC is like a dream come true for me and the album might be coming out pretty soon! Chanyeol said twice recently that he can't cut or dye his hair for reasons, he uploaded a picture to his insta story of him on set. So, hopefully we'll get to hear his beautiful voice soon. It could also be about an endorsement deal tho, not sure lol. He keeps tagging a fashion brand on insta and he never does that except for Acqua Di Parma🤷🏼♀️
