Before his debut


He learned soccer and taekwondo when he was young, and he also had career concerns about taekwondo education.

When he was in high school, he followed his friend who said he was going to a music academy, but he failed his own test, so he couldn't attend it, and only he passed it.

He is said to have worked various part-time jobs, including convenience stores, cafes and restaurants, before his debut. After his debut, he once sold part-time delivery service and roasted sweet potatoes because he had to go parallel to the event schedule.

Before his debut, he was a member of the vocal team Awesome Bla.

He was discharged from the army.

Vocal style


Instead of the loud, low-pitched voice that comes to mind when it comes to baritone, he maintains the same vocalization that falls neatly from all the vocal ranges he uses, so that the audience cannot feel the shortcomings of narrow vocal ranges. 
In other words, if Song Ga-in is a singer who maximizes his strengths, this is a style that has no drawbacks. 
In fact, several times during the Mr. Trot contest have been evaluated as "stable." Singer Jin Sung also left an evaluation saying, "I'm not the owner of the explosive singing ability to dominate the stage, but there's nothing to point out if I think about what I couldn't do." He's a multi-player vocalist who can sing anything more than medium and stable.

Another characteristic is that as Cho Young-soo pointed out, each tune has its own crescendo (point by point) and decres In other words, when you make a single note, you give a strong and weak melody. This is one of the characteristics shown by practical music vocal majors who have received institutional vocal training, and because it is too difficult and difficult, there are not many cases where they use it as delicately as Lim Young-woong
