Character evaluation

Yang Kun has a husky voice full of male charm, which has become a symbol of his unique style. Yang Kun's combination of hardness and softness is amazing, so he is also known as "sexy male voice". Through years of accumulation, Yang Kun has established a unique style of music creation. His magnetic voice, a little hoarse blasting texture, almost rap, freely used falsetto, and the symbolic vicissitudes of falsetto at the end of the sentence make Yang Kun a special musical symbol in the Chinese pop music world. Yang Kun's soft and charming song "itch" is completely different from the original singer's style, and the heartbeat in the music gives people a strong sense of freshness (Tencent review).

Yang Kun is very manly. He's a little cool. He doesn't like to talk very much, but he has a lot of flavor (Hou Xiangting comments).

Yang Kun is a very talented man
