Rank 4th Gen Female Vocalists

Sungjin > Young K > Wonpil > rest of them

Quote from CaraFIMIE

Nobody knows those nugus

Just because no one knows them doesn't mean they aren't the best

Because they are the best

Isn't Katseye 5th gen?

I think Swan from Purple Kiss is a top vocalist among 4th gen idols.

Unsure about rankings but I would also consider Minnie, Winter, and Liz as top vocalist.

i just know what my ears like and thats Lily, Liz, Chaewon, and Winter

I will use tiers, because I don't want to make people mad again for calling their faves average. No, I won't explain my tiers. 😂

S Tier: Celine Dion💀

Tier 1: NMIXX (Lily > the rest. The most complete group since MAMAMOO), Purple Kiss (Swan, Chaein, Goeun),

Tier 2: aespa (Ning, Winter), i-dle (Minnie, Miyeon), BILLLIE (Haram, Suhyeon), IVE (Liz), ITZY (Lia),

That's all, there's like 100 more, these are probably the most popular ones.

1. Hanni

2. Lily

3. Sieun/Yoon

There are many that I enjoy, but for the sake of brevity, my top 3:

Ningning: My favorite 4th gen female vocalist by far. She is not your typical Kpop main vocalist, which is part of what makes her so appealing to me, as most of them are more like high note belt machines (to no fault of their own). Beyond just bringing a gorgeous rich and dynamic vocal tone, the level of mastery over the entirety of her voice and her effortless musicality and performance intelligence is excededingly rare in Kpop/pop music in general, which is unfortunately easy to miss because lately most of aespa's music doesn't utilize a fraction of her skills. She is one of those rare vocalists where everything feels intentional and I can relax and I trust her to invite me into her musical landscape, knowing I am in good hands.

Haewon: Honestly, not much to say. Just a well-rounded and powerful vocalist. Kind of a more classic soulful pop singer, which I am biased toward vs Lily who embodies more of the modern studio polish.

Sullyoon: Probably here mostly because of how much I appreciate her role in NMIXX. Obviously, not a common type of voice we hear in Kpop, and a very welcome one. Not as competent overall skills-wise as the others, but who cares? This is pop music, and whenever I hear her voice in their songs, it feels like a breath of fresh air.


Honorable mention:

Lily: I guess I have to put her here since she's one of those singers about whom you can't really say much negatively. Well-balanced to fulfill her role and basically like the ideal Kpop singer.

I like listening to Liz, Ningning and Haewon the most. I prefer their tones over some others who might be technically stronger.

Lily, Ningning and Winter are definitely the best of the 4th gen but I'm not sure how I would rank them

My feelings are, none of them are as good as Rosé so what’s the point?
