Woozi

Woozi is genuinely one of the most quietly impressive figures in K-pop, and I say that as someone who didn't fully appreciate it until I started paying attention to the credits. As the vocal unit leader of Seventeen, he's been the engine behind an enormous chunk of the group's discography — writing and producing songs that range from breezy pop to gut-punch ballads, all while being one of their best singers. The guy studied at Hanlim Multi Art School and then went on to formal training, and you can hear that foundation in how meticulously crafted his compositions are. His 2022 solo debut with "Ruby" was a flex in the best way — intimate, polished, and completely his own.
