The East Light’s Sagang’s Facts
Sagang’s Appearance in Mnet’s The Voice Kids in 2013
The powerful stage of rock and roll kids Jeong Sagang became a hot topic on Mnet’s Voice Kids broadcast on January 11th, 2013, he showed off his singing ability with a song titled “Aspirin”. Sagang, who had been active as a vocalist and guitarist of Rock and Roll Kids for two years at the age of 11, captivated the judges at once with his relaxed stage manners and stable singing ability.
Yang Yoseob, who took Sagang’s stage as the lead, called him ‘Beast Style’ and said, “If you become my mentee, I will give you the dance of Lee Gikwang, the song composed by Yong Junhyung, and my signed CD.” Seo In-young continued, “There are parts of it that I regret, but I fell for the ‘Woo’ part. I know how to enjoy singing. The technique is lacking, but I will fill that part through training.” Yang Yoseob was chosen by Sagang. Seo In-young then said, “I want to be an idol too,” and laughed out loud.
Sagang’s Debut with The East Light
The East Light’s Sagang has a soft and clear tone, he has a rough and husky voice. He debuted as a member of The East Light on November 3rd, 2016, in the position of vocalist (rapper) and guitarist. From “Holla” to “You’re My Love”, he is mainly in charge of verse 2 in all the sound sources released so far, but The East Light’s Sagang’s voice is rough, so he sometimes thought that the listeners might be surprised if they heard his voice from verse 1, so he gave Eunsung the first part. Overall, it seems to be a wise choice to match the triumph of music, as the sound sources flow calmly in verse 1 and exhilaratingly in verse 2. However, he did not give up the desire to include his own voice in verse 1, and he mentioned that he was competing in good faith with Eunsung while always researching how to calmly raise his voice.
However, it is not common to use husky vocals at a young age. Although the period of transformation has not yet come, and his voice remains, if he passes that time well, there is a high possibility that he will become known as a vocalist with a unique tone. The East Light’s Sagang fully participated in every activity and promotion of the band since they released some singles from 2016 to 2018, such as “Holla” (2016), “I Am What I Am” (2016), “You’re My Love (Tropical Mix)” (2017), “Love Is…” (2017), “I Got You” (2017), “Real Man” (2018), “Are You Okay” (2018), and their latest single “Love Flutters” (2018).
