@@G.Rudi.Banother fun fact. Back in the day, the members did a competition (for fun) of who can hit the highest note in the group and it was V how hit the highest note and that was when their vocal tones and skills were still raw. It was a shock because until stigma, v only got to sing in growl. V also co wrote a group song called ‘hold me tight’ which was his first try at songwriting and then we got 4 o’clock which he co-wrote and sang with rm (pure poetry lyrically). Can’t wait for you to discover his EP ‘layover’ a no skip album of slow jams. V wanted this first album to showcase the music he likes and listens to. He has the most recognisable and unique voice I have heard in the music industry. Congrats on growing your channel.

"How did you all even fing meet?" Honestly all you can say is fate because when you hear the actual story you would think it was made up. RM failed his initial audition and was recommended by a rapper to small company BigHit, Suga just wanted to be a rapper/producer but they convinced him to join RM, J-Hope was a dance who never rapped before being selected for BTS, Jin is literally a really good looking college student with no singing/dancing experience they picked up off the street, Jungkook was offered to join many big companies but decided to go with nearly bankrupt BigHit because he fell in love with RM's talent, V only went to the audition to support a friend, and Jimin almost didn't make the cut until all the other members fought to have him. Once you have a chance to experience Jin, I highly recommend watching Taylor Mari's Guide to the Bangtan 7 which gives you some background on each member and how they joined. She covered the story up to "Chapter 2" aka military/official solo career era and its an amazing watch to really understand where BTS started from and what they were able to achieve.

V is a musicians musician and the tiny desk arrangements of the songs are different. FYI, not only does v have vocal range, but he has a wide range of vocal affects. Rm has said that v can do any genre and it will sound authentic to that genre. His vocal are flexible, his hip hop sound is true to hip hop, the same with other genres. He use to sing with growls in the early bts songs and did sort of growl rap singing, examples of this is in the group songs boy in luv, jump, spinebreaker, baepsae. He is really unique and music critics have said his vocals are essential to the bts sound like billboard who said -- Billboard said, “the expressive vocals with a wide range of vocal ranges and deep voice tones play a pivotal role in BTS sound. V’s vocals have been evaluated to play a central role in the group’s sound. V’s low tone is a key element of the entire BTS sound”.

@@mariacristinacosep925 I don’t think that’s fair. He has never been anything other than respectful and complementary of all of the members. As someone who has been singing all my life, I know he was comparing Jimin and V only to distinguish between their tones and the dynamics of both their voices. They both have great voices, part of any good reaction is being able to distinguish the different qualities and tones of their voices. And in the past when he talked about the auto tune, he specifically said it is a choice based on the style of music, not because Jimin needs auto tune to sound good. The last thing I want to see is my favorite reactor to decide it’s not worth reacting to BTS members because things he says are misinterpreted and misrepresented. God Bless.

[@rafaelsmith5737]

​​@@G.Rudi.B21:45 Jimin's voice isn't God given 21:54 it wasn't a gift, in fact Jimin practiced a lot to have that high singing voice. After all, It's not strange to have males having lower voices, but it's quite unnatural for an adult male to have higher voice. You can watch BTS old vids of them singing in live performances. You can hear Jimin's voice ain't that high nor does it have a unique sound. Back then he was quite depressed cause he says his singing ain't good. In one old clip, probably 2015 he once said he wants to have a voice that can soothe people. So throughout the years you can actually hear his voice gradually changes. From his first song "Lie" back in 2016 where his range was normal, to "Filter" in 2019 where you can actually hear his voice is getting higher, to "Who" 2024 where his voice is already so high. There's a stark difference.

[@kekiwa2683]

I'm a OT7 by heart, but V's voice... It's chocolate, it's velvet, it's a warm hug, it's cuddling in bed on a rainy day, ut's a warm summer breeze, it's comfort. It gives me the break to breathe on a hectic day, it slows me down and gives me a bit of peace. Soul food for the ears. His 'Layover' album is a constant companion in my car on the way home after an exhausting work day. You get it. He is a bariton by nature but his range is...wow!

Kim Taehyung has the widest range in BTS and he is a baritone! His range, versatility, transitions, techniques and ability to emote are all crazy great! Kpop caters to tenors and Kim Taehyung was the first baritone in the industry. So while his company did not know how to use his vocals, he was so good that he made his own unique style and sound of music and as a solo artist does whatever he wants. A true artist. I love the stage versions better than the studio because it is sharper and as high as it can be.

Taehyung is just out of this world crazy talented. There is nothing this guy can’t do that is just ordinar. He excels in everything he loves. He is such a big music enthusiast and it shows. V appreciates real good music that is why his music is so special. He is always authentic, genuine, and organic. You won’t see him put out subpar music or put out a ton of versions of his songs. V is involved with his music from beginning to end adding his personal touches. His eclectic taste in music is like his vocal range. Taehyung listens to Ella Fitzgerald to Bing Crosby to Antonio Carlos Jobim to Paola Sandejas to Procol Harum. He listens to everything. He especially loves to sing neo soul, jazz, and R&B. V is so eccentric that he released his version of It’s beginning to look like Christmas in summer on his Jazz de V performance. Who does that⁉️I highly recommend watching his Vlog DRIVE with V on yt. It will give you a personal view on what it’s like to take a drive, listen to music, and hang out with him. Also recommend reacting to his Tiny Desk Korea, Band sessions, and First take. He is also an amazing dancer and has video out on The Smoke Challenge with choreographer Bada Lee, he also dances to Fuk Sumn, and dance challenge ON THE STREET with Jhope. I think God took his time in creating Kim Taehyung. Thank you for the reaction. It felt genuine and it really shows your appreciation for music. 👍👍🫰🫶✌️🐯👑🐻💜♥️💜♥️💜

V being the only baritone in the group has such a large range. He & JK usually have to sing higher because BTS songs are written higher to accommodate Jin & Jimin’s higher natural ranges. V’s solo album ‘Layover’ really gave us such a treat in being blessed to hear his more of his natural lower range, plus he loves jazz & a lot of the album is jazzy R&B. Like others have said, definitely recommend “Korea Tiny Desk” performance as you get three of the songs from the album live.

What's hilarious about them being accused of lip-syncing when it comes to them is 1. They refuse to do it, we've even seen them on rare occasion struggling cuz they were sick at a concert stop singing so another member takes over or the crowd does with no backing track. J-Hope had the sound cut out in the middle of his song "Mama" so he finished it acapella with the crowd singing along 2. Majority of Kpop actually does do it, some of the biggest names even in fact 1 recently came under fire for badly lip-syncing at an American award show the VMAs. I wish I could find this vid I watched years ago that actually shows the terms they use for when you have a fuller backing track, semi, or full live vocals. There is specific terms for it with these kpop music shows that many perform on and they have a written program or guide for the sound engineers for these shows cuz they have multiple groups perform one after another, so you can actually look at it on paper which acts are lip-syncing or not if you work at these korean shows.

It's always funny to me seeing people wondering in awe how they met/how bts was "formed", bc to me it almost feels like they were destined to be (as cheesy it may sound). In V's case, he just went to support a friend at an audition, didn’t sign up or anything, but then the producers asked if he wanted to give it a shot. He did, and ended up being the only one from the city to pass. RM once said that the they're all important, but the vocal backbone is Jungkook (again, his words, not mine, and it's just to answer the question). JK is the main vocal of the group and because of that he has more lines in their songs and he's always doing ad-libs/hidden vocals, he is also a central piece in almost every choreography.

[@kaysmith5356]

His newest project is his Layover album. It's just 🔥🔥🔥. It's short enough you could do the whole thing. You'll LOVE IT! He also has a song with UMI "Wherever u are" that was released after his enlistment...DOPE!!! And whatever you do, PLEASE check out his song "Fri(ends). All in English and also released after his enlistment. V keeps us fed! 💜💜💜

V is about longevity not about charting. Its admirable that an artist places importance on the music. His vinyl is out now. Appreciate your sincerity in reactions.

[@Imavibeanywhere]

The reason we love BTS so much is because outside of being kind, humble kings packed with talent 👇🏽 1. Mics are ALWAYS ON 2. Pure talent, no matter which one it is 3. They did their homework, and they love what they do 4. They keep getting better because they never think they did a good job (they don't have to, but they think they need to) 5. They only compete with themselves 6. They came together cause it was destiny 🐨🐹🐱🐿️🐥🐯🐰 7. They do it all for Army 💜

[@bitterswee7__]

Taehyung aka V is such an amazing artists! He loves to do soul, r&b and jazz, he performed with his own band his solo album, those performances like tiny desk, and band sessions are a must! his artistic vision is so wonderful, he always take part in his projects, his ideas always are so creative, he's really a great musician ❤️‍🔥

[@Phoenix.14]

When I was a baby army the Wings album coming out was the best thing ever for learning the members' individual voices. Tae was my bias and I knew his lower range but holy crap Stigma blew me away once I heard his range. I got chills every time. I even got a non-army friend to listen and she was going crazy. It's so underrated😭

[@deniseBTSOT7]

A cute thing about V (Taehyung) is that he loves some of the greats, like Tony Bennett and Frank Sinatra. When BTS performed Butter at the Grammys, during commercial break, our little extrovert V, walked up to Lady Gaga, chit chatted and asked her for a pic. You could tell she was charmed by the way she touched his face.

[@Saranghae68]

Tae is my bias in the vocal line Stigma really does show his vocal range and I totally agree with you on the raspiness within his high range.

[@ZariDV]

"Where did you get this guy from" lmao. Pure luck for the company really. BigHit Ent almost didn't find V because he hadn't intended on auditioning for the group. He just went along to keep his friend, who was actually going to audition, company. So him even being there was pure chance. Luckily someone from the company saw him milling around and asked if he wanted to audition too and Tae decided to take his shot. Our talented guy showed off his various talents and impressed them so much that he wound up being the only person who auditioned that day who was chosen to join the trainees. He really does have a gorgeous voice. I tend to think of words like "rich" and "decadent" when I hear him sing. It's like chocolate or fine whiskey or something that has a sense of depth to it's richness. I love hearing him sing. As for the vocalist who is "the backbone" as you asked, it's hard to say from a subjective standpoint because everyone's taste is different. It's hard to basically pick the "backbone" instrument out of an orchestra where the overall sound is beautiful only BECAUSE each voice is included. The way BTS works is that they bounce around from person to person so constantly within the song that it's different from Western groups that have 1 main frontman and everyone else harmonizes around him/her. But I suppose if we have to give an official answer, objectively, would probably be Jungkook. I say that as Jungkook's official role in the group (among other roles) is the "center". Which means that he's in the center of the dance formations more often than not and he tends to sing a bit more often in a significant amount of their songs. He will often get the most lines distributed to him and you'll hear him more often singing at the forefront although that can switch a lot depending on the song. I think his vocals sits at a steady in between in the group's range so others can move around his range and blend well. At least that's why I think the company may have selected him as the center and main vocalist. His vocals holds a touch of each members' so it's easy to sift from his voice into someone else's when they pass the baton vocally throughout songs. For me though, I can't imagine how BTS would sound with any member missing. Like V for example has such a unique depth to his voice that he grounds the music in a crucial way to my ear. It would be a lot of highs all of the time, which can be beautiful too, but there's a really nice balance when his soulful tone is added. Or Jin has such a classical touch to his voice that there's an old school vibe he can add to some song that's so resonant and stunning and almost like crystal with how clear it is. His voice always gives me chills. It's like it slices through the songs and makes you take notice in some songs. I have an extra special soft spot for his voice and I always look out for it. Jimin's tone is so unique that I tend to think it helps BTS stand out in their overall sound. No one else sounds quite like him and you can notice it a lot when other groups try to do BTS covers. They can almost kind of mimic their sound a bit for the most part but then when people get to Jimin's section, the difference is so stark it's kind of shocking at first to realize how hard it is for anyone to really copy his vocal tone and style. He's almost like a signature to BTS. And I've spoken on JK already and how foundational his voice tends to act in a song. Especially with how classicly pop his voice sounds. It's why it made so much sense that he was able to explore different sub-sounds of different styles of pop on his album, giving a lot of range even if it's technically the same genre. And it worked. They're all a crayons in a box. Even if one colour is used a lot, or some used less than others, they're all important and have extra importance depending on what needs to be filled in.

[@SriP-o7c]

I love how you break down the question he asked about vocal backbone. Funny thing was that yesterday, I was just reading this Japanese vocalist analysing each BTS member and which area their vocal strength cover. The amazing thing is that the final ‘map’ shows that there’s not one empty space not covered, each member contributes and this is one reason why listening to their discography is so amazing and comforting. The analysis also concluded that JK (as you said) as well as Tae (as GameBoy suggested) are the lynchpin of the vocals. If you would like to read the post yourself, let me know. Will share it here

Tiny Desk is so good. It not only shows off his vocals, it also shows how unselfish he is when it comes to performing...the music comes first. He is also VERY charming which brings that extra something to the performance. BTS are 7 incredible soloists who are also proudly part of a group that provides top quality music, lyrics and performance. Being an ARMY is a gift to myself. They care for us as much, if not more, than we care for them.

V has the widest vocal range and it reflects so well when sings those high pitches effortlessly. It comes naturally to him, he doesn't need to push harder. He's extremely talented and his voice is so deep. I am proud of him ❤ Kim Taehyung is a baritone legend, one of the artists with the widest vocal range and also the diamond voice of Korea. has the best stage presence and is the best performer. so taehyung has everything that should be in an idol ..thats why idols take him so many examples

[@LW-le5vg]

THANK YOU! As always. V was younger when he did Stigma than Singularity, fyi. If you care about stage presence (as I know you do), you MUST watch Singularity live; it's legendary. For more V, there's his whole solo album from one year ago, Layover; 5 mvs; and a fantastic Tiny Desk

[@wintertae7184]

yes !! Singularity live is a beast !!

[@CloudedLeopard8588]

V the baritone said to the tenors with the high notes…hold my beer. Let me show you some range, let me match your highs and challenge you to come down deep into the ocean where I normally sing. This type of ‘cry’ singing is lost in today’s music scene, we don’t get this type of singing anymore. Now you need to check out his EP ‘layover’. V took us to church with stigma. He is the soulful, blues, jazz, r&b king. FYI, kmedia named V as the idol of idols because so many idols cite V as their role model and study his performances to learn stage presence.

[@eden.nd.]

I've also heard a lot of people saying he's one of the friendliest idols, to staff and strangers as well as other groups. Apparently he stands out from the other members because they're polite but quite shy whereas tae is an extrovert and will make friends with anyone! He really does have a soul and personality as unique as his voice.

One thing that ARMY can't do is choose who's best or who's better than whom. It's not that we're immature, but we knowing it very well that they are complement each other. They can shine as bright as they want as soloists, but when they come together, they are one. And that is their magic. Like how can people who are so talented individually be so ego-less when they are put into a group?

[@leeswhimsy]

V is an amazing presence on stage live. Just incredible. I mean, look at this performance: he didn't need to have any choreo or fancy stage. He simply sang as he walked down some stairs, walked across the stage, and stood there. So happy you appreciate his talent. (BTW - I don't have a PROBLEM with choreo or great stages, I love them.) Unbelievable that he was just at a BigHit audition to give moral support to his friend who was auditioning, and they asked him if he'd like to audition too. Things like that make it easy to believe that BTS got together by Fate and is meant to be and meant to be here at this time.

[@snowflowerandwhatnots]

Okay so this video was uploaded 6 hours ago and has amassed over 500+ comments, so i don’t know if you’ll ever get to read this but i still want to let you know how much I enjoyed this reaction as a fellow lover of music and of BTS. I think I’ve been here long enough, and one thing that I truly noticed when listening to their discography, especially with Tae’s (V’s) discography is that he requires no heavy production especially in instrumentation. I don’t know if it’s merely a personal choice or that the producers he’s worked with so far understand that his vocals just has that much thickness, vulnerability and versatility that they want it to shine through on top of everything else. You can even hear that in his latest release, the last song he left us with while enlisted-Fri(end)s. Not a lot of people recommended this but for me, it’s such a fun song that shows another dimension of his vocal skills and delivery. It has a doo-wop vibe, which I feel like you’ll appreciate too as a student of music, yourself. And the video is also ~really~ good-a reflection of his creativity and very 🌈colorful🌈 character. The representation on that video was a cherry on top especially in the kpop industry (or in korean culture, in general) that isn’t open to that type of representation (you’ll know what I mean when you see it). ☺️ He really is who they call “idol of idols” for a reason; he’s just so unique especially among his contemporaries and in the Korean music industry, in general. V, as his alter-ego, is known to be this superstar who’s a pro in doing unique stages and in going all out in his performances, which has “birthed” a lot of 4th and 5th gen idols (they literally say he’s their inspiration or role mode, following his path). But what i feel like makes him a real “idol” is that he’s unafraid to push boundaries but at the same time is very self-aware and knows the beauty of restraint (you can hear that throughout Layover. The album itself is his “artistic layover.”) This is becoming too long but in conclusion, South Korea is sooooo lucky to have V and BTS. It’s been 11 years since their debut and no one else still does it like them.
