In the world of K-pop, new talent constantly emerges, capturing the hearts of fans and industry veterans alike. One such rising star is NewJeans' Hyein, whose enchanting voice has recently earned praise from none other than the beautiful and renowned singer IU.
NewJeans appeared as special guests on IU's YouTube show 'IU's Palette' and talked about their newest album, 'Get Up.' On this day, the six artists shared their love for music with IU sharing her insights with her juniors.
While introducing their latest album, the NewJeans members chose their favorite track from 'Get Up' and also took the time to sing them live. Hyein chose "Get Up" as her favorite song and introduced it as a soft R&B track that she sings. Then she went ahead and sang it live at the studio.
While Hyein sang the short track, IU couldn't help but fix her eyes on the young artist as she became highly impressed.
IU then openly expressed her admiration for Hyein's musical abilities, having left an indelible impression on the seasoned performer. IU shared, "That was so good," and added, "Every time you finished singing a section, I wanted more. I really loved it... Until I heard this medley, my favorite was unquestionablely 'Super Shy.' But 'Get Up' is really nice...'Get Up' is pretty awesome (it might be my new favorite)."
IU then praised Hyein's vocals saying, "What surprised me was that when Hyein sang 'Get Up,' I couldn't believe she made sounds that we can only make in the recording booth. That was so amazing. When we sing live, it can't be helped that it sounds different because we can't control the mics. But she controlled her voice as if she was singing in the recording booth."
