He is also very stable with high notes.
Not really sure if this is the highest note he has in DAY6's song but definitely one of the highest he has reached so far. Look at how he belted those long high notes twice, consecutively without any flaws.

Honerable mention of his adlib in 'Shoot Me' bcs the original chord is already very high—and he just made it higher.
His low register is also very clean.
Usually people with nasal voice may find it hard to constantly hit low register compared to singers with chest voice (cited from Google
) but Wonpil nailed it.
