K.R.Y is the 3 main vocalists of Super Junior who take part in high notes and have the main role in singing together with Super Junior. Super Junior K.R.Y has different vocal colors for each member. Kyuhyun has a blue vocal color, because his soft voice can easily make people fall asleep. Then there's Ryeowook with a white vocal color, because he has a loud and clear voice. Lastly, Yesung has a dark vocal color, because Yesung has a husky, soft, and heavy voice. Although heavy, Yesung has the highest voice.
