Heads up: The picture of Bae Doohoon you have with his profile details is actually a pic of Woorim. Kang Hyung Ho is the only one who has no formal music education but is a fully qualified chemical research engineer who worked for 4 years in that capacity for a Petrochemical company before entering Phantom Singer tv survival competition looking for crossover artists. He entered with a viral performance of Phantom of the Opera singing both the male and female roles. He was the only amateur singer to advance thru the gruelling show to finally win with Forestella. worthwhile checking out their Bad Romance live, Bohemian Rhapsody, Exo’s Mama. Also they are 6 time winners of Mama award … historic effort
Thanks for correcting!
Todos cantam divinamente, mas Ko Woo Rim é magnífico!!! Sou muito apaixonada por ele!
Cho Mingyu, foi o que mais me chamou a atenção pelo carisma dele, o sorriso meigo. Adoro o jeito dele cantar. Tbm admiro e gosto muito dos outros cantores. O cho Mingyu não é o mais baixo, apesar de ser um centímetro mais do que o Bae. Abraço e obrigada por compartilhar as informações.

Eu realmente estou encantada com o grupo, todas as vozes são extremamente afinadas. Quem primeiro me chamou atenção foi worim por sua voz extremamente grave e sua beleza ( depois soube que era casado) agora admiro sua integridade em honrar o casamento. Vou continuar ouvindo o trabalho desse grupo que é excelente muito bom de ouvir. Que Deus abençoe!
J’adore Woorim pour sa voix profonde, sa beauté et sa sympathie, mais j’adore les 3 autres qui ont également des voix superbes (et qui sont pas so cute également), leur façon d’être me plait beaucoup, ils méritent leurs succès.
Todas las voces son maravillosas y melodiosas, con muchísimo talento y armonía; sin embargo el artista que me dejo atónita fue la de Woo rim por su profundidad y fuerza, no podría describir el impacto que me causa cada vez que escucho su impresionante voz. Son increíbles, los admiro profundamente.
Хто з учасників FORESTELLA першим привернув вашу увагу? Пан Чо Мінгю, бо він просто фонтанував емоціями й був дуже артистичним, співав пречудово! Щоправда, всі вони артистичні, а пан Хюнхо такий милий! Та ще й має ТАКИЙ ГОЛОС!!! І ще вони вміють бути на сцені навіть містично демонічними, просто сексуальні агресори, коли на сцені співали “Bad Romance”! Їх голоси так чудово доповнювали один одного і створювали щось неймовірне, кайф для меломанів!!!
