NewJeans Hanni Presents Song Cover of IU's 'Through the Night'

On January 13, NewJeans Hanni made a buzz after unveiling live singing vocals in a broadcast.

On this day, KBS' talk show and live music web program, "LeeMuJin's Service" unveiled a short video teaser of its Episode 46 featuring the rookie female idol.

In the video, singer-songwriter Lee Mujin was seen asking Hanni if she knows how to play other instruments besides the ukelele.

Although Hanni is a little bit shy, the star confessed:

"I like playing the guitar a little, but I'm not good at it."

Hearing this, Lee Mujin asked a favor from the idol, saying:

"Can you show it for the first time here?"

Hani gladly said:

"Okay, I would love to."

In the short clip, Hanni then started playing the guitar and raised expectations for a live song cover of IU's "Through the Night."

The full episode will be uploaded to YouTube KBS Kpop channel on January 17, 6 p.m. KST.

NewJeans Hanni Praised For Live Vocals, Guitar Skills– People Says She's True 'All-Rounder'

Following the release of the short clip, the video already amassed 133k views on YouTube, not even a day since it was released. Hanni also drew the attention of global fans, entering the TOP20 trending searches on Weibo China. In a popular Korean online community, Hanni's video also became a hot topic, with more than 33k views.

The reason why the clip is raising the attention of K-pop enthusiasts and netizens was due to Hanni's excellent live singing skills.

She unveiled impressive cool and clear vocals that aren't like a rookie at all. Despite her shyness, Hanni flaunted a stable and soulful cover that is pleasing to one's ear. Her guitar skills are also not to ignore.

Due to this, people left positive comments such as:

• "Hanni with her honey voice."
• "She has heavenly vocals."
• "This is crazy, I still love the original, but I love the song even more after hearing this."
• "Her voice, singing style, and pronunciation go so well together. It's already good to sing the song just as is, but even better to hear her sing the song in her own way. It's exotic and soulful."
• "This is the best 'Through the Night' cover I've ever seen."
• "I want to hear a full version soon."

After hearing her live singing skills, K-pop fans and netters also declared Hanni an "All-Rounder" idol.

In K-pop, this position was only given to an artist with extraordinary singing, dancing, and rapping skills. This title could expand to idols with more talent than idol skills such as acting, playing instruments, songwriting, composing, etc.

Hanni received comments such as:

• "The more I look at it, the more I think that Hanni is a full 'Hexagonal' (all-rounder) idol."
• "She dances well, she's good at singing, she's basically good at everything."
• "I like it. Hanni is a true all-rounder."
• "As if Hanni being a good dancer and singer isn't enough, she was also given charming character and personality, she's so loveable."
• "She's young, the prettiest, with a successful career. You're doing well."
