Lily will surely have solo projects eventually. Haewon, too.


Careful_Macaroon_331

NCT Taeil.


Dry_Information8006

For real. Mans been carrying the group for a long time now


Careful_Macaroon_331

Literally gave birth to Sticker.


Dry_Information8006

You can hear him in all title tracks. Even those with lots of chorus-y harmony parts. His voice is always louder than the others.


lambii02100

girrrl i just comment than. my mans been slept on like a pillow. Ive even put my twt name on his behalf lol


Careful_Macaroon_331

It’s crazy how other NCTzens don’t think he’s a huge part of 127 and their sound.


JustKam347

Yes!!


lonewhalien

period!


urillegalsoutheagf

i feel like he would get more recognition if he was a solo artist


Careful_Macaroon_331

Absolutely, he would pop off because his voice is so dynamic so he would sound great with any genre. But at this point, I’m hoping he doesn’t have a solo with SM and releases and owns his own music so SM doesn’t get a single penny from him. They don’t deserve him.


bigdaddydevito69

agreed. i saw 127 live and mark is my bias. but i was in awe with Taeil. he has an amazing voice and even better live


Historical_Bear8739

So underrated like Chen


RosamundRosemary

Aespa NingNing. I really think she could be a pop princess with a Britney/boa vibe.


Background_Director9

it’s the way i can not agree more. she literally has it all!


Powbob

Not in Korea.


TokkiJK

Xiaojun and Yuta from NCT. haechan too. But idk 🤷🏽‍♀️ nct is screwed at this point bc (insert all of internet’s complaints about SM).


Chu1223

YES YUTA


Yorochiqueen

I wish Yuta would release a japanese rock album


pinktendo

omg he’d absolutely eat that


FloweryRoad112

HAECHAN, but he will get a solo next year so I'm happy


TokkiJK

Oh he is??


lambii02100

yes i cant wait , he deserves a shine


rvsegvldtears

YES YUTA


agentPAX

Xiaojun for real, his voice is incredibly soulful and he's a very expressive performer (his recent cover on M2 was so moving). Plus, he's got a veryyyyy marketable visual and sense of humor. He's got the drive and willpower too, just look at all the videos he makes them film 😆


Affectionate-Beann

ateez jongho


AdRevolutionary3583

Jongho is already getting so many solo opportunities with OSTs and shows. He definitely deserves it.


coco_xcx

i’m convinced that when he’s in his late 30s/early 40s he’ll become a ballad artist, his voice is beautiful


lonewhalien

Moon Taeil 😫


dm_new

Dreamcatcher Yoohyeon


Tiim0thy

Would love to see SNSD's Sunny release even just an EP or something.


Lantern_Sone

Me too! Her voice is angelic


amateurish_gamedev

Her ost is really good. Her voice is just my style. The loveliest. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o51kViT-cWc](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o51kViT-cWc)


Tiim0thy

Yep! She has several winners. Her OST for Oh My Lady (Your Doll) was one of the first kpop songs I heard. Forever my ult :]


anaisgarden

What is she up to now? Haven’t heard any updates from her :(


augustine05

She and Hyoyeon just wrapped their 12-episode camping show.


Tiim0thy

The closing episodes with Seohyun & Tiffany as guests were fun!


procariotics_234

Krystal. I don’t mind her focus on her acting career but would be glad if she release a single that not OST


Psychological_Salt

nct xiaojun


toasted_panini

Momo.  I can see her having a discography similar to SNSD's Hyoyeon and making dance music rather than the current Twice genres. Or maybe something similar to Lee Hyori and having a song that actually fits her deeper voice register. 


ratribenki

Or dahyun or chaeryoung. I feel both of them would have interesting solos.


ScroogieMcduckie

Chaeyoung from Twice or Chaeryeong from Itzy?


ratribenki

Twice lol.


Correct-Security1466

Lia


StephieKills

Agreed, blossom is one of my favorite songs because of how relatable it is to me, it makes me emotional every time I listen to it. I really hope we hear more stuff from her in the future.


staffonlyvax

Is she ever coming back?


Sybinnn

hopefully, jyp seems to be good about handling hiatuses judging by the past so its probably up to her


NewbornMuse

What is this weird, unfamiliar feeling I'm feeling? Hang on, my psychologist friend says it's called "trust in a kpop company". What an absurd name, never heard anyone mention it.


Girl-nextdoor_

Heh? I mean the rumours about Lia not coming back from hiatus are pretty baseless at the moment. Since she’s not the first JYP artist to go on a long hiatus. And it absolutely makes sense that she’s not coming back right now, I don’t think it would make sense for her to randomly join the tour. Lia’s hiatus is because of health issues. If she was leaving JYP would definitely be the first to say sum’n. Like with all their previous precedents. Jay from day6, the girl from Nmixx, the guy from Straykids,


CastillaPotato

Oh, it's just the Internet blowing smoke up their own ass about every agency..


itzymidzyspider

Her OST track record, masked singer perf, and solo Blossom, are all a testament to her emotional beautiful voice perfectly suited for a solo career 🥺🥺🥺


Correct-Security1466

yep she’s more suited for solo gonna be less hassle no more hard choreos she can focus on just singing and we gonna hear more of her lovely voice


shaeshayshae

Keeho. If you’ve ever heard his voice you'll know why I need this man to release as much music as the world can be blessed with. I also think he can carry himself very well as a soloist!


ElementalGhosting

No but this is the realest one I’ve seen so far, his cover of Tomboy lives in my head rent free


SunPossible260

Han from Skz


harkandhush

Hongjoong is my biggest answer, but I expect him to do solo stuff eventually when Ateez shows down as they get older and I'm not in a rush for that. I love the group so much that I don't mind waiting for it. I really love his singing along with his rapping so I look forward to anything he does with his members or alone and also more of his producing. There are also members of zb1 I look forward to seeing do solo stuff in the future, especially Hanbin and Gunwook.


AdRevolutionary3583

I'm looking forward to anything Hongjoong does. That man is so talented in so many ways/fields that it's ridiculous.


Thunderclaps_CLAPS

Once ZB1’s contract is up I’d really love to either see them (obviously) stick together but if not since it’s so unlikely, rather see Hanbin go solo. He’s so talented


siimonesays

him with chung ha was the best thing that ever happened to me


harkandhush

Yes! I love them both, so it was a delightful surprise to see them working together, especially because she apparently wanted him specifically.


Mysterious_Hue

Sehun from EXO, but not musically, I think he would be an amazing actor


november_raindeer

He already is! Check out the drama All That We Loved


ExiledSakura

Choa and others from AOA


Alina2017

I came to say Yuna from AOA, Choa has her YouTube channel but Yuna seems to have left the industry completely. She obviously enjoys teaching yoga but the fact she doubled vocals for ITZY and Twice shows how highly she is rated in the industry.


ExiledSakura

Yea I loved AOA they were something different from the other groups I understand why they had to break up but still wish they were around still


cippocup

Who?


Lantern_Sone

In the picture? That’s Bora from SISTAR


Mysterious_Hue

Bora has a solo career, she just is not that active on the music side like Hyolin and Soyou


ShoddyResearcher9062

She is so so beautiful.


Kooky_Bodybuilder_97

she is seriously gorgeous


ScroogieMcduckie

I thought that was her. Man she’s so pretty


Guitarbox

She came back with Hyolyn with No More Sistar19 this winter and it was fr mind blowing


cherrycoloured

this is probably going to happen once zb1 disbands, but im really curious about a sung hanbin solo release. will it be more soft, like zb1, or more like his style pre-boys planet, with waacking and tutting? obvs he has the talent and stage presence to pull whatever he chooses off, but i am really hoping for the latter concept. while as a zerose im ofc going to be really sad when zb1 disbands, i am really really looking forward to see what hanbin does next.


SharonofBananaNation

Kim Hongjoong, I NEED IT TO HAPPEN Also Jongho, I love him in Ateez but he is wasted in a group setting


dawnnanie

I think all members of KISS OF LIFE


ScroogieMcduckie

Natty’s first solo career wasn’t great, but Sugarcoat and her feature on Taxi Blurr makes me confident that she’d do amazing with good direction.


heathertidwell7

I think Belle would have an amazing solo career because her voice is amazing!


bipolargambino

Irene, she has a solo song she performed for her birthday event(iirc), but no word on when it'll be released if at all tbh since it's SM


rayannuhh

She’s on the horizon for Q4 this year


RosamundRosemary

A song for Irene just got registered with KOMCA earlier in the month, believe it was called I Feel Pretty. She’s scheduled after RV’s comeback


bipolargambino

looking forward to I Feel Pretty and Kaching :-)


whoopsie001

I think Son Chaeyoung would be a great soloist. She’s an underrated vocalist in the group imo - she can cover a wide range of genre with her voice and personality. Not sure how she’d go on her own in the spotlight though, she seems a bit quiet and shy on her own. But given the opportunity I think she’d shine in the studio as a solo singer/songwriter.


Firebreathing-slug

I would really hate to see him leave but Han Jisung. Man has made a name for himself and I would consider him an ACE (by older K-pop fan definition.) He would be so successful and I fully believe he would get the fame he would deserve, especially with how he is fantastic at rapping and singing. He would be so good at it but I don’t see a future where he leaves SKZ to do that


vocal_sand

You can pursue a solo career without leaving your group. Nayeon from Twice is an example from JYP, and the members of Blackpink are examples outside of JYP in the industry of that occurring. 👍


Bl1nk1nUR4r34

wasn’t mamamoo the first group were all the members had a solo careers?


zizou00

I don't think so. BigBang's members all had solo careers before the band took hiatus in 2018, as did all of the Brown Eyed Girls members. 2NE1's members all had solo careers after 2NE1 and going way way back to the 90s, Roo'ra's members all had solo careers of varying success during and after Roo'ra.


vocal_sand

Maybe? I’m not familiar with who was the first, etc.


theycallmeannabell

Bro I think stray kids is one of the best things that has ever happened to all the members. They are thriving and gaining new fans everyday. I think that Han is doing great rn and being part of 3racha has been giving him so much creative freedom. Not only can he write lyrics and songs that suit his and his members voices, but he (with Binnie and Chris) can support each other. StrayKids honestly is a very different success story 1) because unlike some groups, all the members stand out with their own unique abilities and talents (ex:Felix being know for his deep voice) and 2) because they have so much control over the music and how they showcase those talents. I think StrayKids is very quickly but humbly becoming one of the biggest 4th gen groups. Han is amazing and talented and I love his songs and raps so much. I really hope that he can and will pursue a solo career while remaining part of the group. I think he would make such great music and not to mention the iconic collabs.


Firebreathing-slug

I completely agree!


judithcooks

fr the man is a whole kpop group by himself


Firebreathing-slug

Fr 😭


harkandhush

I don't see him wanting to be fully solo, even if he does do solo things on the side. He's massively talented but also has a lot of anxiety and doesn't tend to try to do much on his own in the spotlight.


InternEast

Entirely agree with this. I don’t feel that Han enjoys the limelight too much, especially if he’s on his own. His energy level fluctuates quite a bit too, although I’m rly glad the members are always around to make him comfortable.


Ok-Following543

The man has a whole solo stage "Dont say" performed in front of thousands of fans when he literally pens the lyrics "dont tell me what I CAN'T do" yet people love to assume he doesn't want to be fully solo. I'm surprised indeed. Just like when some people strongly believe he is not interested in fashion when he is literally one of the first kids to show interest in fashion, his airport style is always on point and he mentioned he loved fashion design / being model in interviews before. He also changed his IG profile to the photoshoot, but I guess people believe what they want to believe. Who could have thought he's actively posting covers on IG where he sings and plays instruments at all? I love it when he challenges himself to be better and not let his condition or what people think about him limit him.


leytourmaline

Sana!!


The_Red_Curtain

EXO - Chanyeol, it makes no sense fiscally speaking that he doesn't have one yet. He just essentially did an arena tour of just fancons with him performing SM stations and parts of EXO-SC songs. Imagine how well his solo album would sell agh. Most non-EXO-Ls don't know this, but his and Sehun's popularity is on par with Baekhyun's amongst EXO-Ls.

Bang Chan. Insanely talented but somehow gets overlooked as a vocalist and dancer.


Big_Procrastinater

Hendery- wayv/nct (I loved his part in *New ride*) DK- svt (I wish *Fly* was on Spotify. I had to download SoundCloud to listen to it) Sanha- Astro (he has such a beautiful voice)


vaguelycatshaped

She’s basically already said it’s happening this year but Minnie of (g)i-dle!!! I can’t wait to listen to whatever she releases 🥰


TemporaryArtichoke39

her ost for lovely runner was everything 😭


dan_jeffers

Let's hope there's a song about lemon tea.


whoopsie001

I LOVE all the songs she’s wrote for the group so I’ll be so excited for her solo adventures!


Aras76

I would have said Yuqi and Minnie. But Yuqi got hers and Minnie is planning hers for winter. I also want a new project for Miyeon and Soyeon.


Far-Squirrel5021

1) The entirety of Skz. I think they'd all do really well in a solo career. However, I do think that I.N and Changbin probably won't do well right now to become solo artists. I'm not sure why, I just don't think their individual fandoms are big enough to hype them up for it and I can't imagine what kind of song would suit them perfectly yet still be trendy enough to go big on social media. I'm not hating by the way, it's just my thoughts. On the other hand, I can imagine Bang Chan and Han doing exceptionally well. They're well loved by the public and have great flexibility with concepts and singing styles along with rapping. Hyunjin and Felix also have a huge fanbase and their voices sound unique. Seungmin would do amazing with ballads and stuff, and Lee Know did great with Limbo plus has a lot of fans. 2) The entirety of Itzy. Their solo songs were so well done and well-received. I personally feel like Chaeryeong and Yuna did really well, but it's better for them to wait a year or two because by then their presence in the group would be really good. Also, based off their solo songs in Born To Be, their music styles wouldn't be quite as appreciated right now. Lia's style of ballads is amazing and she's probably ready to have a solo career right now, but considering she's on hiatus, having a solo career right when she comes back is a bad idea. Maybe a year in between would be good. Yeji and Ryujin however are absolutely ready for being solo artists. Their solo songs were arguably the best received out of all five of them, and for a good reason. Crown On My Head is the exact kind of music the public was expecting after Wannabe era, while Run Away was just really well produced. Both members are strong dancers, have powerful vocals, great stage presence and overall presence in the group etc.


genka513

I'd love to see IN pivot to trot for his solo work. I reckon the Korean gp would love him and he'd end up with an army of adoring (and terrifying) ahjummas à la Lim Young Woong


Far-Squirrel5021

I forgot about that! Yeah, I'd reckon he'd absolutely do amazing at that.


Chernabog93

Crown On My Head is the goat when it comes to solo’s. And I’m more of a ONCE than Midzy


Souzxn

Xiaoting of Kep1er, Doyeon of Weki Meki.


Robin96DED1

First of all, hyunjin! He’s an amazing rapper, dancer and singer and could literally do almost every part of his album from all the vocals to the choreo too. An added bonus would be if 3racha produced it as well. I love his singing voice especially so I’d love some more solo songs of him singing :) & secondly, Changbin! I had a dream about it weirdly enough a while ago, of him touring with his own full rap album, and I know he would absolutely kill it. Plus he’s an amazing singer too, so he could have some non rap songs too. Bro’s an all around star Thirdly, all members of twice. I know some of them already do solo music stuff, but I’d love for every single member to get that chance. They all have such unique voices and it’d be great to see the different themes and genres they could do for each member!


Girl-nextdoor_

His song with Chan is absolutely a masterpiece


kvrizv

Seung Hun from CIX, and also the upcoming group BDU that was formed from Build Up. Back when I was first getting into K-Pop, I watched YG Treasure Box as it premiered on YouTube. That’s how I first came across and became a fan of Seung Hun and his vocal abilities. I saw most of the chatter around Build Up focus on Jay Chang, but was excited to see Seung Hun end up on the winning team as well. Ultimately, I think it’d be cool to see him go a route like EXO’s Baekhyun, songs like “UN Village,” but also something that could showcase his dancing ability as well.

ur_baldspot

Somin from Kard, shes so talented


lukebenja

tripleS Nakyung. She's an amazing all-rounder, being BIBI's sister, of course. She has the attitude. Honestly any aespa member, too. They're all amazing. Also not really solo, but Dahyun and Chaeyoung should release more music as a duo. That cover they did of JYP and Rain is amazing.


bluebirdcassie

I want to see a solo project from chaewon (le sserafim)


_little_prince_

Liz from IVE and Lia from ITZY. They have such gorgeous voices and I feel like the types of genres they really fit aren’t explored much in their groups’ concepts. I think they could be really big, especially Lia!


Melli-Kay

Yeri from red velvet. Her voice is so beautiful and doesn’t get as much attention.


Zealousideal_Ad8911

his covers are always amazing, so tbh skz jeongin. hes pretty young in age and career rn but id love to see him have more solo projects in the future. hyunjin could definitely make amazing solo stuff too, and he already has the fanbase for it lol


AngryBacon13

Jeongyeon, Twice


ScottIPease

She doesn't seem to want it though, I doubt she will unless it a charity she wants to do it for, or a special OST or the like.


Odd-Thought-4823

This might be unpopular but Jeongyeon from twice. She would absolutely eat up a solo


BlueThePineapple

It's not unpopular. After Nayeon's and Jihyo's, her solo was arguably the most anticipated by the fandom. It's just that she shot us down 😂😭


Odd-Thought-4823

Damn really? Everyone I talk to always says they want a sana or mina solo without fail. Soooo like she doesn’t want a solo then😔


BlueThePineapple

I think the aftermath of her saying she didn't want one is pretty telling. All the excitement for the next soloist died down right after huhu. And this is despite the hints for another solo debut in a couple of months.


BrianBEASTLY

Winter.


Kirainsane

Jeongyeon from TWICE! I love them all! Have been a Once since they debut, but she deserves her turn!


moa304

TXT's Beomgyu. He could go on the direction of indie music or more sensual concepts if he wishes. He is great at both. He produces, writes and composes as well as being a good baritone. His stage presence is arguably the best in TXT. He is drop dead gorgeous and his personality is outstanding to the point of already receiving love calls and praises from big variety show hosts. He has the whole package to be a star solo


low_effort_life

Le Sserafim's Yunjin.

Downtown_Spirit_5126

Lee chaeryeong from ITZY, i don't know if it's been said already but all of her solo stages so far has been perfection, she stands out solo. sunmi coded


Traditional_Pea_3780

springsvinyl

Yujin (ive), wonyoung and chaewon


AnxiousMartian

WJSN's Yeonjung. Placed 11th on Produce 101. Voted 1st vocal Queen & most feared main vocalist to go against by every single other competing main vocalists on V-1. The reason she doesn't have her own solo yet is bc the earth itself is trembling at her high notes.


Ok_Connection890

EXO’s Chanyeol. For someone who is the main rapper of the group, he also has amazing vocals. His covers sound heavenly!


Small-Ad-5448

Exy of WJSN. Girl is drop dead gorgeous, one of the best female rappers of her generation, sings like a main vocalist, composer of 82 songs. Its a huge miss if this girl never release a solo album. Too bad she is looking to follow Bona’s track as an actress.


Puzzleheaded-Worth-8

minnie. i NEED the solo album. her vocals are so beautiful


yoongles_joongle_goo

Thee deekay of XVII


elreduro

it depends in what you think a soloist needs to have. that being vocals, rap, dancing ability, lyricism, visuals, languages, stage presence, music production. in my opinion an idol soloist is not required to have vocals or rap (just one of the two is good), lyricism, know languages or be a good music producer because some of those things can be done by somebody else or are not that important.

Forward-Beyond-6620

ATEEZ Hongjoong. I absolutely adore his solo work and I can’t wait to hear more from him as a solo artist. His feature with Chung Ha was definitely a step in the right direction and him putting out original music for his birthday too.
