[Yoon Minsoo] 윤민수 in Vibe

I'm sure you've heard of this dude. Likely, you heard of him at about the exact same time I found out about him, when he showed up as one of the new singers to join TVprogram "I Am a Singer". My first thought was "who's that guy? kinda cute, good built... looks good..." Then I found out that his name was Yoon Minsoo.

Yoon Minsoo, born on April 1980, made his debut in 1998 as one of the original member of the group "Four Men" (포맨). He stepped out as member of the group not long after their second album, but stayed with the company and started to be a song writer and producer for the remaining Four Men starting from the third album. (My research found that the current members of the group are all "new" members, leaving no traces of the original formation)

In 2002, Yoon came back to the music industry in a new group called "Vibe" (바이브) through their first album titled "Afterglow". The group originally had three members: Yoon Minsoo, Ryu Jae-Hyeon (류재현), and Yoo Seonggyu (유성규). Yoo stepped out of the group after their second album and sing solo as "Noblesse", leaving on Ryu and Yoon in the team. 

Despite his so coy-looking style we see in "I am a Singer", I find his previous pictures from Vibe to be "richer" in expression~ I wonder which one is the real him~ ^^

Although I hadn't known them for long, it seems that Vibe's 3rd album especially made a breakthrough for them. Yoon Minsoo sung two most representative songs of this album on his first appearance in "I am A Singer": "That man, That woman" and "Liquor".

Also a surprise by the beginning of this video is that the keyboardist is Jang Jiwon (장지원) who's a regular session keyboardist for Boohwal concert as well~ :)

Anyways~ I'm sorry I couldn't really gather that much about him~ to be honest, I don't have the time to (T_T) I'm in tight schedule... Yoon Minsoo had only been in "I am A Singer" in one "set" now, in the competition singing "그리움만 쌓이네" (originally by 여진, 1995) and "사랑 그 쓸쓸함에 대하여" (originally by Yang Hee-Eun, 1991). Out of all his songs choice and performances, the guy really got me. He's got depth~ I wish him success without loosing any of the depth he has now. 

Best wishes and fingers crossed~~ Yoon Min Soo!! :)
