Voice
Se7en's vocal range distinguishes him from other South Korean pop artists. His voice can be described as smooth, mellow, and sometimes mildly abrasive (see vocal belting) when songs, such as "Crazy" and "I Know," call for it. He often sings with a vibrato in his voice that American R&B singers are known for, and also incorporates beatboxing into many of his songs such as "Passion."
Dance
Se7en's signature handstandAdditionally, Se7en is known for his dance moves. His dance style, like his vocals, can also be described as smooth and leaning more towards freestyle rather than heavy choreography. Some dance techniques he sports during live performances are gliding, popping of the chest, and various one-handed handstands. His signature handstand, which he executes during his "Come Back to Me" performances, is the Nike (see picture). Most recently, he has been executing the gainer and the pike (see breakdancing) during his "I Know" performances. Finally, even when the song involves a large dance routine, Se7en never lipsyncs during live performances, believing that "lipsyncing is no different from watching a dubbed movie."
