Lee Sang-min focused on uncovering the potential of No. 1 member Yoon Soo-min.
On the 15th, the YouTube channel "232 Project" released a video in which Lee Sang-min recorded the first practice session of No. 1 member Yoon Soo-min. "232 Project" is an idol training reality project started by Lee Sang-min, who once swept the music scene, as he dreamed of a comeback as a producer after enduring hard times and paying off debts.
Lee Sang-min showed the sharp sensibility of a producer at the recording site. He said the key to the practice recording of the debut song "GENIUS" was finding the parts best optimized for Yoon Soo-min and added, "My role is to find the unique characteristics each member possesses," continuing persistent and meticulous directing.
In particular, Lee Sang-min gave detailed advice by demonstrating points that bring out the rhyme, pronunciation and sense of rhythm in the lyrics. Also, when Lee Sang-min complimented that she seemed to have perfect pitch, a shy Yoon Soo-min drew attention by fully immersing herself in the song once the recording began.
Lee Sang-min highly evaluated Yoon Soo-min's growth potential. At the same time, he emphasized that this work was more than a simple evaluation; it was a process for an artist to hear and refine her own voice. He said, "From a producer's point of view, you have to consider whether the strength lies more in rap or in vocals."
Lee Sang-min defined the debut song "GENIUS" as a high energy track expressing self-confidence and a bold attitude, saying its characteristic is portraying the artist as someone with a sense and mindset different from others. In particular, he expressed strong confidence in the song, saying, "It will be able to show powerful performance, style and a solid character."
