What sets K-Pop singing apart

K-pop is South Korean idol pop, and its groups usually split a song by vocal role: main vocalists take the high belts and ad-libs, while lead and sub vocalists and rappers cover the middle. The main-vocal parts carry the highest sustained notes, and tenors and sopranos make up most of this hub.

J-Pop is mostly sung by solo artists, with faster, wordier melodies and less of the role-split belting.
