Crezl

Who is this?

Crezl (Korean: 크레즐; RR: keurejeul) is a South Korean crossover male vocal quartet formed through the JTBC singing competition program, Phantom Singer 4, which aired in 2023. They officially debuted as a group after advancing to the final round of competition. The name, Crezl, is a portmanteau of the English word "creative" and the Korean word "즐겁다; jeulgeopda" meaning "joyful/fun" to reflect their aspirations to enjoy and create music that displays the unique qualities and personalities of the four members who come from different music genres and share that joy with those that hear their music. The group consists of K-pop idol singer Jo Jin-ho, Korean traditional music artist Kim Su-in, classical vocalist Lee Seung-min, and musical actor Lim Kyu-hyung. Unprecedented in the four seasons of the popular Phantom Singer show, Crezl gained recognition as a 'true' crossover vocal quartet that draws from the different genres of pop, musical theatre, western classical, and Korean traditional music called "국악; gugak", showcasing each unique color while also displaying a seamless harmony among them.
