A special thanks to @jorobertson for posting this OST on the wall the other day which led me to add it to my playlist which led me to google Ko Woo-rim which led me to discover he is in a group called Forestella which led me to this YT hole:
Did you know this? I just found it on wikipedia: There are many versions of Arirang – and different interpretations of its meaning – this is one version, (the one I like) “… the song goes back to the 1600s when a despotic emperor was imprisoning people right and left who had opposed him. He hung these prisoners from tall pine trees on top of the hill of Arirang, located outside Seoul. Legend states that one of the prisoners condemned to death, walked his final miles singing of how much he loved his country, and how much he hated to say goodbye to it. It was soon picked up by the other prisoners, where it became a Korean tradition that any man had the right to sing this song before his execution.”
Yes! I’ve noticed they usually have a set order of how they stand on stage so from their right (our left) it’s Ko Woorim, Kang Hyunho, Cho Mingyu, Bae Doohoon.
Woorim is the maknae (1995). He is a classically trained bass singer so he also does things like this: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oUwCX9x01xA
His speaking voice is also insanely low.

Thank you for these. They are so beautiful. Their range is stunning, but I love Ko Woo-rim’s bass most of all.

Loved this. Ko Woo-rim is on the right, I guess, from his fabulous voice.
