Discography of EXO’s Xiumin
Each member of EXO has their own unique and very good voice with powerful chords. Every member can sing pretty well including Xiumin who can hits notes higher than the main vocalist, Chen. The issue is that somehow Xiumin just doesn’t get that many lines to sing in EXO’s title track. But, as a singer who has a sweet and quite powerful voice, he got to show off his singing ability through some collaboration projects, and even released a solo track. In beginning of his debut, he often played the rap parts rather than the vocal parts, and his fans were sad because he could not frequently show off his performances on stage. However, the number of parts he has been given has been gradually increasing since 2015.
