Jongho Covers

3rd Blogaversary Series Day 6

As a reminder because of their personal content being devoted to covers and their participation in Moving Voices, Hongjoong and Jongho have way more covers than the other members. Therefore, I will be splitting the posts into one each for Hongjoong and Jongho and then one for the remaining members. I am teetering on the edge between having 4 biases and 4 wreckers or being OT8, so the way I have chosen to divide my posts in no way is to show favoritism to any particular member, it is purely logistical when considering the amount of content each member has released.

WARNING: Jongho is the main vocal for a reason. He LOVES to sing! This post has 34 videos linked and I didn't even add all of the times he is just randomly singing songs like at Karaoke or Idol Radio. You do not need to read this all at once. This is just a place to go to get a good chunk of his covers. So take breaks and drink lots of water this Is a marathon, not a sprint. Ok, you have been warned, now let's dive in.

Jjongst

Similar to Hongjoong, when the members were given the opportunity to create personal content, Jongho chose to cover songs. Unlike Hongjoong, he chose Original Soundtrack (OST) songs to cover. Jongho is a fan of dramas (his time watching Queen of Tears is well documented) and when given the chance, he typically chooses to sing an OST or a soft ballad, so this choice for his personal content was a given. I am also a huge fan of Kdramas and always have my trusty Shazam app nearby when watching so I can add a song I enjoy to my OST playlist. It is currently 13 hours and 26 minutes long.😳 I think I have a problem. So this content is one of my favorite of the personal contents. That being said, I am kind of ashamed of myself because I have only seen two of the five shows he covers.

OST for: Our Beloved Summer

Special Clips(ish)

This first clip is not actually a Special Clip but I needed a category to add it to so it ended up here. I honestly don't know where it came from, but I promised a BTS solo cover in the Ateez Group Covers post and I am a woman of my word.

Song: The Truth Untold Performed by: Jongho Original artist: BTS

This birthday Special Clip from Jongho is pure art! I remember the reactors at the time being surprised Jongho chose this song, saying Jongho was brave since the original artist is such a vocal powerhouse legend. I seriously cried when I first heard Jongho sing this. He proved he can stand up against the best of the best vocalists out there.

Song: Wildflower Performed by: Jongho Original artist: Park Hyo Shin

What is up with the Ateez members making these videos looking like they are longing for their lost loves? Who broke your heart Jongho?

Song: Tell Me That You Love Me Performed by: Jongho Original artist: James Smith

Maddox Duets

Speaking of amazing vocalists, Maddox is one of KQ's soloists, producers, and the English voice in all of Ateez's intros and outros. When he and Jongho get together for a duet, it is magic.

Song: Painkiller Performed by: Jongho & Maddox Original artist: Ruel

Song: Ditto Performed by: Jongho & Maddox Original artist: New Jeans

Imitation

Similar to Yunho, Jongho's character in Imitation, Hyuk, got to perform on the fictional singing competition show titled You, Me, Singing Again with his fellow Shax member, Yuri. They sang a duet that, based on the behind the scenes, they only had one hour to prepare the performance for and all of the other actors were most looking forward to seeing.

Also, can we just gush about how San is calling Jongho "Our Bear" here?

Song: Trouble Maker Original artist: Hyunseung & Hyuna

Performed by: Hyuk (Jongho) & Dojin (Yuri)

Since they are not the main stars of Imitation, their whole cover was not featured on the show but they OST does have the whole song and Jongho pops off there at the end. I added it for y'all to experience the song in its entirety.

Song: Trouble Maker Original artist: Hyunseung & Hyuna

Performed by: Hyuk (Jongho) & Dojin (Yuri)

Music Shows/Festivals

Jongho's first singing solo appearance was in November of 2021 on Sketchbook.

Song: One Late One Night in 1994 Performed by: Jongho Original artist: Jang Hyejin

He recently sang a duet for KBS World's Global Festival in Japan and it was beautiful!

Song: When it Snows       Performed by: Jongho & Sieun Original artist: Lee Mujin

King of the Masked Singer

When I think about Jongho's time on King of the Masked Singer I remember two things:

1. That Atiny automatically knew it was him just from the soundless clip in the trailer of him bringing the microphone up to his mouth.

2. I honestly feel like Jongho was robbed. I don't understand how the Steamed Eggs beat him and I am still upset about it.

Song: Confession of a Friend    Performed by: Jongho & Choi Ye Geun Original artist: 2AM

Song: Swing Baby   Performed by: Jongho Original artist: Park Jin Young

I think that the producers of the show may have felt similarly to me or at least knew they could not keep the song he had prepared for the next round from the public because they did something they had never done before, they released his rehearsal video!

Song: More Than Blue  Performed by: Jongho Original artist: Kim Bum Soo

Immortal Songs

Jongho has been invited to participate in Immortal Songs as a soloist twice! He hasn't won yet, but I have faith he will soon.

Song: So You  Performed by: Jongho Original artist: Yarn

Song: What Should I Do Tomorrow Performed by: Jongho Original artist: Yoon Jong Shin

Leemujine Service

Jongho was the first Ateez member invited to Leemujin's Service. I loved watching two musicians nerd out over music. It got even better when they realized they were born in the same year. I hope they became friends after this. Also, the harmonies on their duet were chef's kiss!

Song: Turbulence Performed by: Jongho Original artist: Ateez

Song: Don't Go Today Performed by: Jongho Original artist: Lim Sejun

Song: Another You Performed by: Jongho Original artist: Brian McKnight

Song: Ocean Waves Performed by: Jongho & Lee Mujin Original artist: Yang Dail

Moving Voices

As stated in Hongjoong's Covers post, In November of 2024 through January 2025, Moving Voices Munich, a show where idols come together to busk around a city, was aired. Both Hongjoong and Jongho participated as two of the cast members along with Sohyang, Henry, Zai.Ro, and other Munich cast members Sunwoo Junga, Nau, and Suzy. In these five episodes, cast members sang up to 60 different songs as solos, in duets or trios, and as a full group.

Full Group Songs

As a reminder, since both Hongjoong and Jongho are in all of the full group songs, and even some smaller group songs, I had to come up with a way to pick which song to post on either Hongjoong's or Jongho's cover post. I chose to use the very scientific method of "whoever sings first" as my determining factor. Please go to Hongjoong's Cover post for the songs Jongho is in but Hongjoong sings first.

BONUS: Mayfly

In Kingdom: Legendary War, there was a two episode arc where the 6 groups were split into 2 groups of 3, subdivided into Rap, Dance, and Vocal, and then set up to compete in those sub groups. Since Ateez won the idol vote the week prior to these episodes, they got to pick which two groups they wanted to team up with. Ateez chose BtoB and Stray Kids and they collectively decided to call themselves Mayfly. This is the vocal cover from Mayfly (they unanimously won their battle by the way). Another vocal performance that made me cry.

Song: Love Poem Performed by: Jongho, Eunkwang, & Seungmin Original artist: IU

Honestly, I know this is not all in terms of videos out there of Jongho singing, but I do think this is it in terms of the more professional ones as of March 2025. I hope you enjoyed and I'll see you tomorrow for our last day, Original Songs and OSTs.
