Korea is completely inundated with singers from the pretty idols and talented dancers to the indie artists and OST stars. However, among the Korean artists I know, the names that immediately flood my head when I hear the phrase 'unique voice' form a much shorter list. Much like the "it factor", it's a bit hard to quantify but when you hear it, you just know that there's something special there.
Keep in mind that this list is solely based on my opinion and the artists are who I deem to have unique voices. Also, I'm limited to the scope of artists that I've been exposed to so I apologize in advance for not including your favorite artist!
Park Bom
Park Bom is one of the few idol singers I know very well. And I just happen to think she is gifted with powerful, distinctive vocals. Her audition tape in which she covers Faith Evans is a video that amazes me every time I watch it. How can such a strong, forceful sound ensue from such a petite creature? It's not only her voice, but also the way she sings that makes this female vocalist stand out. She sings with such bold, unreserved emotion during live shows ("It Hurts", "If I Were You", "Don't Cry", etc.), that I can't help but get the feels when I watch her perform.
