My info text about Kang HyungHo.. Kang HyungHo has interesting life story. He wanted to sing from his juvenil days but his parents didn't agree him to go to art school. So his music life started since he joined the rock band in the university. Even after graduation he continued the band and won the Grand-Prix in the workers' band contest in Busan. His sensational audition song- the Phantom of the Opera was his killer repertoire. He used to cover MUSE so he developed his falsetto that good. (He has not only very talented voice but also great singing technique.) He was working as a research chemist in Lotte BP Chemical - quite good company providing high salary, it was Samsung BP Chemical sold to Lotte - when he auditioned. As Phantom Singer audition was designed for making a (good-looking) classical crossover quartet like il Divo from Korea, there were bunch of opera singers who majored in classical vocal and well-known musical actors. He was the only office worker who majored in (chemical) engineering in whole participants. But he used to sing as a vocalist in his amateur rock band (the band name was Pitta but it became Pittaband afterwards) in his leisure time. He stole the show singing the Phantom of the Opera duet song by himself. Now his audition clip has more than 3M views in Navercast and got more than 10M views in sum of RU-vid videos only from Koreans as JTBC didn't release the video for abroad.. He said he had thought he would be able to quit from the music regretlessly with criticism he would get. But BAAMM! Thanks God he failed to quit from music! He quit from the research chemist job instead. lol He was doing good in his job like to get promoted even while his audition. His company exceptionally offered him an year's leave of absence and he wrote 3 papers on chemical research theme even while his leave of absence as a chemist, working (singing) as a member of Forestella. He quit his research chemist job 1 year after the debut as Forestella, in the end of leave of absence period he had. He would have worries and considering about career and steady salary, stable life but finally chose the life of professional musician. I really appreciate his decision from heart as a fan of him, and of Forestella.
Me gusta cómo combinan diferentes géneros musicales y cómo se adaptan a cada canción. Son unos artistas completos que transmiten mucha emoción y pasión con su música. Forestella es un regalo para los oídos y para el corazón. 💖
포레스텔라는 크로스오버그룹으로 메인보컬이 따로 없습니다. 곡마다 어울리는 목소리의 멤버가 많이 부릅니다. 포레스텔라의 시작은. 2017년 Jtbc 팬텀싱어2였습니다. 리더 조민규는 이루고 싶은 팀이 있다고 하였습니다. 그는 이미 대학생때 서울시소속 오페라단의 최연소단원이었고 팬텀싱어에 나오기 전 cf에서 작사. 작곡. 프로듀싱 등을. 하고 영화음악에 참여하는 전문음악인이기도 했습니다. 그래서 팬텀싱어에서도 선곡하는 것부터 팀 멤버를 이루는것까지 다른사람들과 모든게 달랐습니다. 그리고 마침내 그는 각기 다른 매력을 지닌 최고의 멤버를 찾아서 프로스텔라를 만들었습니다. 그리고 이팀은 우승하였습니다. 그들은 노래도 최고지만 멤버간 우정도 최고입니다. 자신이 아닌 팀을 최우선으로 하는 그룹이고. 모든 멤버가 천재인데도. 모두가 거의 매일 엄청난 연습을 하는 그룹입니다.
My info text about Bae DooHoon.. I think he is so unreal to exist for real, like too good to be true. He is handsome, sweet, humble, humorous, talented, a good actor, a semifinalist from Voice Korea 2, and the 159th King of the Masked Singers- the first king from Phantom Singers. He was the student body president in his high school, good at sports, popular among his alumni, suddenly decided to major in acting, prepared for less than 6 months and went Korea National University of Arts (KNUA, the best university in Korea for acting major, super hard to go) majoring in acting! But now he is still taking a break from school, not graduated yet. Before Forestella he sang as a guest vocalist in a GugAk(Korean traditional music) group Soriya and Yeonhooae, a fusion GugAk band AUX. While his military service as a Navy PR Petty Officer 3rd Class he participated in the Voice Korea 2 in 2013, went up the semifinal round. His last Voice Korea 2 performance was a famous musical number This is the Moment, it made him debut as a musical actor since then. He is the most experienced one on stage in Forestella. The only thing I don't like about him is he says sorry about his fault like tiny mistake no one other than DH never noticed. He's a perfectionist with the highest bar for himself. He is the oldest in Forestella. The members said he's like a mom for them. His bag has everything as far they said. Unlike his gentle handsome look like a Disney prince, he is the most hilarious person in the group. Even his humor code is like granpa's joke lol. (And wasting his acting skills to make fun) I think he dedicated a lot for their strong bond like a family, even stronger than a real family. He was inactive for almost 2 years as a musical actor to concentrate only Forestella work. He was offered to join a big musical Jesus Christ Superstar, but he refused the huge chance for a musical actor. For Forestella's North American concert tour. As far he said Forestella had been meeting together 340/365 days in debut year (2018), never rested 3 days in a row before WooRim's wedding (2022.10). (They had a week rest at that time.)
Hello. Bae Doohonn's throat nodules are worrying. Do you have information about this problem? It would be a great shame to lose his magnificent voice because of this.
I leave my info text about Ko WooRim in English. As it's not my first language (neither Spanish), tell me if I have any mistake in the text. Ko WooRim is a classical bass classified as basso profondo, which is rare in Asian countries. He majored in classical vocal in SNU, the best conservatory in Korea. He started his carrer as Forestella from his 3rd grader in the university and entered the master course in SNU while active as Forestella. He was one of the semifinalists in the international concours of Toulouse in 2016. (In the concours SNU 4th grader won the Grand-Prix, SNU 3rd grader won the 2nd place, Ko WooRim was a 2nd grader at that time.) He sings good, looks good, cooks good, dances good. He usually tends to be gentle and reserved. However, with his intimate friends like the members of Forestella he shows his hilarious aspect and entertaining talent. The members encouraged him to show it in the broadcast like in the entertaining time of the waiting room of Immortal Songs. He showed the impersonation of Lee SunKyun, a famous Korean actor with deep voice, and Rainism dance quite times there. He said he dreamed to be a comedian when he was a elementary schooler, to be a dancer-singer like RAIN when he was a middleschooler, and feels like his dreams came true halfway for being active as Forestella. He's the youngest that he likes to look mature, so cute to see he tries to look cool always.
Los adoro❤❤❤ son increíbles, maravillosos, tienen un don impresionante...y lo más lindo es que FORESTELLA no es solo un grupo musical, es arte...es unión, cariño, pasión, profesionalismo...me quedo corta con todo lo que quisiera decir....o sea...LOS AMOOOOOOOOOO❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊
My info text about Cho MinGyu.. Cho MinGyu (I'll say MG) is a classical leggiero tenor and the leader of Forestella. In the field of classical vocal, opera singer is considered as the best successful career in Korea as I know. MG also worked as an opera singer in Seoul Metropolitan Opera. (Actually he has unbroken-yet record of the youngest joined member.) He is very talented like to be one of the semifinalists in Montreal Concours. But in another international concours, one of the juries said him that he would not be able to be main role in opera for his unique voice and could get a sub role as the best.. Imagine how he felt! It would be more than a desperation. But he kept finding his way on music and decided to participate in Phantom Singer 2 audition. Not only his musical technique but also his producing talent shined in Phantom Singer 2 show throughout. He has very wide view on music so he could choose great songs for crossover arrangement. Also he was a smart producer who could pick the forte from each member and imaginate whole performance for the team. Any team he joined was called as MG's team. Even he was top elite who walked on the royal path- Seoul Arts High School & Seoul National University & Seoul Metropolitan Opera - he didn't hesitate to pick a foreign Kpop vocal (Sime Kosta) or to give the main part to an amateur rock vocalist (Kang HyungHo). You know, a true tenor, who can sing high note easily, who studied classical vocal for 20 years and has top career on it, is supposed to be full of ego (almost arogant)! But MG is so humble. He always teared up at his rivals' performances and expressed his feeling with detailed praises. He supports other members using himself as a bridge to make a whole performance complete as far HyungHo said at the interview when Forestella was formed as a final team. And this is why MG is the leader even though he is the 3rd in ages from the Forestella. (There's a kind of age-hierarchy in Korean culture. So usually the oldest does the leader or boss role in a group of Koreans. )
