Here’s why he is known to be the ace idol of BIGHIT:-
1. His vocal and rapping skills
Being a trainee for a while, he came to I-Land with a ton of skills that he just further polished in the competition. Known for his vocals, he is often seen showing off his amazing singing skills in ENHYPEN’s title and B-Side tracks! Rapping, on the other hand, Heeseung rarely got rap parts outside of future perfect, blessed cursed or boy in luv cover. He is also the only one who trained as a rapper before quitting to focus on vocals.
And it's easy to hear that he got some experience in that. Heeseung’s rap in blessed cursed is absolutely brilliant and it makes him stand out! And when it comes to live performances (encores) one can really hear the difference between them. Heeseung sounds relaxed, confident, one can see his effort and style he's trying to put into his verse. Even in 2020 where they covered ‘Boy in luv’ by BTS most of the members had rap parts but still Heeseung did the best there. Heeseung currently has the widest vocal range in the group. It can be seen in the covers and other vocal challenges he takes part in and he has a smooth voice that compliments the high notes he does.
Perfect pitch, also known as absolute pitch, is a rare ability that allows a person to identify an exact musical note just by hearing it, without the help of a reference note. There are very few people who are born with this talent. ENHYPEN's Heeseung is one of them.
2. His performance skills
Every member in the group has amazing performance skills but Heeseung’s unique dancing skills stand out. He has insane musicality and he has fluid movements that leave the audience entranced. The expressions, power and smooth moves help him make the unofficial center of the group. From powerful moves in ‘Drunk-Dazed’ to the hip-hop moves in ‘Future Perfect (Pass The Mic)- Heeseung is a standout performer through and through.
3. His popularity amongst trainees in I-Land
His skills were so good that they were well-known amongst other trainees and the time when he entered I-Land, the other participants were intimidated by his visuals and skills and constantly sought him out for advice on polishing their skills! It was even rumored that I-Land was created to find members that would match Heeseung and that’s how it was chosen!
