You must check out V’s live versions of his solo songs - Singularity and Stigma. V has the widest vocal range in the group and for a baritone, he is able to match the high notes of the tenors in the group. He has one of the most versatile vocal tones and effects like his growling. RM has said that V can sing any genre, he is that versatile. You’re going to love the tiny desk. V is a musicians musician. He gives time to the band to have their moment to shine. As he loves jazz and classical music this performance was what he envisioned when doing his album.

my opinion here is that we need to start including taehyung more in conversations about best vocalists in kpop bc that man has been singing LIVE at every promotion and he has sounded exactly like the studio recordings every single time but he’s adding his own twists as well❤❤❤❤

YEEEESS!!! I agree 💜

His album Layover is V in a nutshell. The love for jazz, the artistic creativity, the old soul, the unique vibe, and the ridiculously intoxicating voice. I can listen to him sing anything. This is a great performance. If you ever are bored lol and want to watch all his MV's in order, the art that he puts into them is also amazing.

[@tannieslostmommy4572]

It's only V who broke the typical k-pop music illusion. Now more k-pop idols following his music style and daring to take the risk for different genres

[@alm9535]

I was so delighted by your excitement especially Johnny. You are so right, V has so much respect and adoration for musicians and bands because he loves jazz and various instrumentation. You can tell how very happy he is in this performance. There's another jamming session with the same band. They are actually guest musicians- a few were flown in for this Tiny Desk Korea performance (off shoot of the original NPR Tiny Desk mini concert in the US). I think one of the vocalists is based in Seoul. These amazing musicians have played for so many American artists. I think they all became close with V. He is such an extraordinary and special person. A little tidbit V loves Cole Porter's song performed by Louis Armstrong and Bing Crosby - Now You Has Jazz from the musical High Society.😊🎉

[@Kodamakitty]

I was looking for this reply - thanks, @alm9535! Tiny Desk NPR has been really good to BTS. BTS had a Tiny Desk (at Home) during the pandemic that does feature their regular touring band, Ghost. It's where the tag, "Tiny, but not so tiny concert" comes from. RM featured in a Tiny Desk for his solo album, Indigo (2023) where he also includes songs from both BTS and his other solo mixtapes. ^_^

[@Appu-r8s]

Isn't he unique in this kpop industry I mean I love his voice his songs really different from kpop music

[@chrisevert7539]

V is also an actor, which makes him really good at telling stories through his music. He has the ability to communicate the emotion of the song, just as does when he's acting. And he also plays the saxophone, which explains the respect he has for the musicians. The instrumental section in this performance is way longer than the studio version.

[@andruslowe513]

V’s Tiny Desk performance will give you the full measure of deep, smoky, honeyed baritone voice. Plus his love of jazz. This is completely different than what he does as a member of BTS. Seven members - seven different voices and musicalities. I can’t wait until you see how these seven come together in a BTS song. 💜 Welcome to ARMY. 💜 Now, deciding which BTS song to listen to first!

Taehyung is very cultured musically. He has a love of jazz and neo soul, the blues etc. His voice naturally is a baritone, his vocal range E b 2 - D6. To hear his range Stigma is the song to hear and can be seen live too and Singularity showcases his gorgeous warm baritone. You guys gauged his personality well he is a real sweetheart.

[@brieezy373]

V's whole album is such a love letter to jazz and blues. This is V's groove. I'm born and raised in Motown and this man could drink me under the table with r&b, jazz and blues knowledge. He can do anything but with this album he showed us his heart. 💜

Thank you, it’s nice to hear your opinion about V. He loves music very much and appreciates talented people. A dancer from his team wrote to him, “Thank you for making each of us feel like the main character on stage.” Despite his enormous popularity, he is modest and kind. By the way, he not only sings beautifully, but also dances superbly

[@ceciliadsa7073]

For me, the songs that V BTS sings are very soothing, try listening to the song when you want to sleep, or you need relaxation. V is a baritone but has a unique range, he can reach high notes with his beautiful valseto voice, you can listen to him in one of his songs, "Stigma" some of Solo V's Old songs: 1. winter bear 2. Sweet Night 3. Stigma (High Note) 4. Singularity 5. Scenery 6. Inner Child 7. Christmas Tree ( Ost. KDrama) 8. Snow Flower (ft.peak boy) 9. 4 O.clock ( ft.RM) 10. Friends (ft. Jimin) 11. Hug me (ft. J-hope) 12. A Brand New Day ( ft. Zara Larson and j-hope) 13. Even if i die, it's you (Ost. KDrama Hwarang -ft.jin) 14. Someone Like You (cover) 15. Travel with me (Short song) Enjoy, 16. It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas (Le jazz De V on Bangtan Chanel) Borahae💜

[@abigailteh1019]

The mark of a true artist is when you are confident in your own talent that you are willing to shine your spotlight on others. V has genuine love for music & is most happy when he shines his own light on people around him. He appreciates & gives recognition to talents.

[@alipotter0613]

You say you had the wrong impression of BTS and Kpop in the beginning. Well I just want to reiterate, BTS are an anomily within Kpop. They are not like any other group and I would say they are not even a 'boyband' anymore. They would be best described as 7 different artists with different tastes who come together and make magic when they do! They can now sustain themselves as soloists but choose to be together. And in every promotion Tae has done over the last few weeks he is singing live every time. Amazing.💜

Why did i know you guys will like this hahaha. Seriously one of his best live performances. How many artists nowadays do we know who would take a step back & let the band have a long moment :). That band (note: his crew for his album not BTS) was chef’s kiss! And, one of the things I thought first listening to his album - honest. genuine. If you guys ever circle back to him, please listen to STIGMA (note: BTS members have solo songs within their albums & this is one of his). This one shows off his top range. And then LE JAZZ DE V (note: this is a live performance released as a gift to fans during their 10th anniversary). This one shows off his jazz baritone. He’s an old & gentle soul who was always into jazz soul r&b. He learned 🎷 when he was young & played a ‘lil in the band sessions (available in bangtan tv KZbin channel), tried to learn trumpet & violin too. It’s truly amazing how all the members are so “individual” yet so cohesive when performing as a group.

Taehyung has a flavour of jazz in him. Even though layover is pop rnb, he has some jazz sprinkled in there which makes it so authentic to tae and his origin. His voice of course is just a magnificent fit for the genre. Just like this each member have their own influence which is reflected in their music. Jimin is influenced by artists like troye and usher... Jungkook is currently the classic pop star who takes influences from other pop stars Justin timberlake and Justin Bieber. Jin is leaning heavily into the coldplay style pop rock and the korean trot singing style. Jhope sounds mainly like 90s hiphop grunge mix of wutang, biggie and the new jcole. Namjoon listened to everything and he sounds like indie music mixed with pop. Agust d has both rock and classic hiphop style with a mix of piano rap. BTS as a whole sounds like everyone combined and mashed up together.

V is a huge jazz fan. He is also a lovely person from all I have seen. He was on Suga's talk show, and they were both reminiscing about their journey and agreed that they were very lucky to be in a group with genuine, selfless, and kind members. They also spoke of looking forward to getting the team back together. Every member has had success with their solo projects. Reinforcing my belief, BTS is a group of tallented solo artists who choose to be a group. If you look further into V's solo work with the group you are going to see his range in his songs Stigma and Singularity. They have to be heard live to get the full picture and including the dancing and pageantry that is typical of Kpop, but in a way only BTS can deliver. I am so ready for you to catch a live group performance. You will love it.

Hey guys! So glad you enjoyed listening to V! You made a good choice. I just want to offer a little help with some Korean pronunciation. "Jungkook" (and all Korean words with the letter J ) is pronounced with a short, hard J like in 'jump'. In fact you can even pronounce J a bit closer to a 'ch' sound. The letter J will never be soft or buzzy, never 'zzhung-kook". The sounds associated with letter Z don't exist in the Korean language. They don't have that letter. Funny bonus fact: They don't actually have a letter V either! In the Korean alphabet V's name is spelled "뷔" ( Bui) which are the letters ㅂ (b) ㅜ (u) andㅣ( i).

Альбом Layover V - это музыкальный шедевр. Какой красивый богатый голос у V, это наслаждение слушать его! Спасибо Tae за хорошую музыку, будь счастлив и пусть все вершины покоряются тебе всегда!

[@fireworks_6549]

This was lovely. V is such a vibe. His personality, his fashion, his taste in music, even his music videos. Such a satisfying pleasant aesthetic. I can't wait for you guys to explore some more. Jhope's lollapalloza performance (with subtitles) is such a joy too and a totally different take on music as well. I also CAN NOT WAIT for the Taylor guide!!

[@leahwarburton]

Tae loves music. All music. But he does have a special love, and appreciation, for Jazz. Whenever we get to see one of his playlists somehow, and it doesn't really matter how it starts, eventually he ends up with Etta James. And you really have to love a guy, in this day and age, who appreciates the classics.💜

[@M.o.777]

There are 5 songs in his album and V said that they are meant to be listened to in the order as they appear in the album as they tell a story. Should check out the music video as well, as he is a great story teller not only musically but visually as well. My favourite from this album is actually "Blue". I would love for you to check out some of his older works as well - "singularity" was written specifically for him from one of his band member RM, Snow Flower, Inner Child, Stigma and Sweet Night, all of which he co-composed, to name a few. If you wanna check out his moves, check out "Smoke Dance Challenge BTS V", its a short clip thay show case his cool moves. Yeah, we love out Tae bear 🐻 and BTS and would love more contents about them!

[@ЕленаЕмельянова-и2щ]

Браво V, ты мой самый любимый вокалист BTS... Он прекрасен и внешне и внутренне. V не просто поет, он растворяется в музыке, он заражает всех вокруг любовью, теплом и нежностью. Вокруг него всегда какая-то волшебная аура добра и счастья. Люблю этого мальчика и желаю ему всего самого наилучшего.

[@heymisslayla]

I've come to know them as a group first before getting to know their individual artistry. So I know what they're capable of together. But when you said that you both haven't even seen them dancing (while singing), that makes me wonder what if my first introduction to V is through this soul, jazzy songs--just like you guys--then someone told me that he can dance (street/hip hop) so good? I'd probably say there's no way...but here we are 😃 It's like a reminder for me, that it's not often that we get to see special talents like them. Cheers!

Si el cantara musica mas popular, bailable y pegajosa seguro que hubiera llegado a los primeros lugares por mas tiempo, pero el canto lo que a él le gusta lo que lo hace feliz y realmente se ve que disfruta su musica y en verdad el no necesita de ninguna colaboración él brilla por si solo y quienes amamos la buena musica se lo agradecemos.

[@MsNomzie]

Tae on stage shows so much emotion in live performances. But his vocal range is just insane, from deep growling to high notes people have often been shocked at what his voice can do. He is extremely down to earth and used to spend time just playing video games with ARMY.

[@ailynken4824]

V has such a wide range !!! He is my favorite vocalist of BTS.. there is such a warm touch on his voice .. very distinct on his own but can he can reach as high range too, his low tone is to die for … watch stigma and singularity ! For me he is very authentic on his own and stick on what color and music he wants.. and this album shows his genuine heart and love for music.. he is a try artist .

[@jinsmoonmarie6452]

SUGA defined KPOP as integrated content: “‘K-pop includes not just the music, but the clothes, the makeup, the choreography…all these elements I think sort of amalgamate together in a visual and auditory content package, that I think sets it apart from other music or maybe other genres so again, rather than approach K-pop as it’s own genre I think approaching it as this integration of different content would be better.” That said, a song like Slow Dancing is not KPOP, it is just a heavenly R&B/Soul track. This band was assembled by V specifically for Layover promotions - and you can see how much he reveres this type of music and his sincere happiness that he is able to give his favorite type of music to ARMY💜

[@BTS_BORAHAE_ARMY_OT7]

His voice 🥹 It's so relaxing and dreamy 🤍🎤🎶This performance of "Slow Dancing" by V / Kim Taehyung on Tiny Desk Korea is sublime! A new favorite! 🥹 Huge props to the live band for complementing V's vocals & energy so well! ✨💜

[@isaobregon5532]

This is definitely ear candy for musicians, also the respect and how V genuinely enjoys what the band does is amazing. My favorite tiny desk so far 💗

[@WINTER-j8i]

Layover era is the happiest taehyung i have ever seen and at the end of the day, that’s really all that matters to me. will always be by taehyung’s side loving and supporting him as he further embarks on another new journey in the future, creating history and making new records.

[@LynVergara-ri9mu]

I'm really happy with your reaction of V's songs. He's really a good & humble man, that' s the reasons we love him so much. God bless

[@28andee]

You are so right in your observation about V. He really is a warm, sincere person and is a master of "intelligent restraint". His album is such a breath of fresh air. And the best part to it is the fact that he is staying true to his musical taste. He adores and respects soulful music so much. Thank you for doing this reaction!

[@ЛюбовьПименова-ф4х]

Уникальный Техён ,уникальный голос.Его песни не однодневки,они с годами ещё лучше и нужнее становяться 😅

[@Lydia-rb8so]

Not only is he cool with letting the band have their moment. Look at his face. He's living his best life, and it's so nice to see.

[@cindymx02]

RM tiny desk is also a good one. The rest of the members also have really awesome live performances.

[@carolerodgers2710]

V is magic!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@maruragu8192]

Awww our Taehyungie.. yes, V is legit an old soul, jazzy boy.. him staying true to who he is and it shows thru his music. People see it. Guys thank you for your review.. ur specifics made his music more interesting.. borahae 💜

[@lillianbarbieri7771]

Taehyung is an amazing vocalista and just a sweet human being. His voice is really great and so warm and smooth and He can transition so well. He has my favorite voice out of the group although Love all of them. Hope you can check the other lives He did for this album, They are really good. He loves jazz and has a great appreciation for music in General so the Live environment with a band is perfect for his Project.

[@janettmorales4424]

Thanks for reacting to V, ARMY, we were expecting this album and we knew it would surprise us with the jazz musical style, which he really likes. For me his voice is a delight and hearing him live in this presentation with the band is a perfect complement. Richard, you are absolutely right when you say that V is sweet and humble just like his BTS brothers, despite having completed 10 years in their musical career, they have their feet very firmly on the ground... Thank you again, a hug, mom ARMY From Chile 💜

NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series has become anything but tiny since its inception in 2008. These are live recorded mini concerts. Playing a Tiny Desk Concert at NPR is a big deal-Cat Stevens, Jackson Browne, and Lucinda Williams are among the names who have performed in front of the book, CD and record shelves at the All Songs Considered office. RM has done the tiny desk concert and BTS has done a tiny desk concert as well. It has expanded and this is the Tiny Desk: Korea version

[@krystynawasilewska1209]

V is amazing, magical, unique, beautiful ❤❤

[@rjs722]

Perfection. We just love everything about V and about this album. Each member had their own promotion style that fit their releases. I love that V did a lot of live performances that were laid back and intimate. He just shines. Some folks were a little disappointed that he did not deliver a more theatrical performance vocally and dancing more on this album because he is able to do so. I love that he stayed true to the vision he had and that he promised he would deliver. He has plenty of time to deliver the charismatic flashy V when he is performing with BTS. Lord knows he has got that stage presence no matter what. I have been listening to this album and his performances on loop since they came out. I only wish the songs and the album were longer. A live version album would be snatched up in an instant. BTS and their members have grown so far beyond KPop.

[@BirdBird-wr8px]

Tae has a fantastic voice. He has very peculiar and diverse musical tastes, but we tend to associate the jazz style more with him. My favorite songs of his are: Snow Flower (Christmas song) ; It's Definitely You (feat with Jin), Rainy Days (from the new album) and Sweet Night (an OST from a k-drama Itaweeon Class). And he was once considered one of the most handsome men in the world. For the armys it continues to be so.

[@ТатьянаВолкова-х7в]

В 2023 он снова признан самым красивым))

[@HH-mz1bg]

I never fail to feel his emotions whenever V sings. So remarkable.

[@ЕленаДолгалева-н5я]

Bravo Bravo Bravo Kim Taehyung The magical voice of Kim Taehyung

[@nohelialopez116]

Gracias amigos por sus comentarios tan explicativos del performance de la presentación en vivo de nuestro Príncipe TAE un saludo desde Venezuela

[@docinho8025]

V é genuíno é muito diferente do restante dos membros do Bts não digo que é melhor nem pior, ele é apenas totalmente diferente em tudo , principalmente no gosto musical , no jeito de se vestir ele gosta de roupas com modelo mais antigo , ele é ator também foi o único membro do grupo que já fez um filme , ele é único barítono da vocal line do bts , ele quebra tabus no meio do kpop, ele também sempre deixa claro seus posicionamentos dentro do grupo e já foi até interpretado como rebelde por causa desse jeito único de ser dele , até os próprios membros do Bts falam que o V tem uma personalidade muito particular . Kim taehyung(V) é muito especial , sou army e amo todos os membros do Bts mas taehyung foi o primeiro que roubou meu coração justamente por essa excentricidade dele , esse diferencial que ele tem não só dentro do grupo mas no kpop em geral , a voz marcante grave escura e profunda que é marca registrada dele também é minha paixão e sem falar que um gato lindo sedutor que sabe muito bem ser sexi sem ser vulgar 🔥💜🇧🇷

[@JIMINTAE210]

He is a special Angel )

[@0.0TK]

Taehyung's relationship with his entire team (actors, dancers, the band, the staff) left me even more in love with that beautiful man🥹❤️ It's so cute to see him interact with everyone so naturally and so close. The work environment stops being work with him around, Taehyung makes people feel comfortable with him. He's someone so warm, with so much charisma, that his joy and enthusiasm is contagious, it's impossible not to adore him, not to smile when you see him happy, know someone like him or more precisely him is to win in life. More than co-workers, they end up becoming a beautiful family, who welcomed Taehyung and made him feel free, he enjoyed working with them so much that it comes across the screen. I can only thank the entire team who was with him for treating Taehyung with respect and affection, the result of that was seeing him with a beautiful smile in each behind-the-scenes video, sharing moments with the team, having a good time, and creating beautiful memories 🥹❤️

[@Susane0613]

I have been loving ur reactions to bts lately and about taehyung, he is like u know don't judge a book by its cover it really fits for him. He is such a sweet and genuine person. Pure might be the word that suits him the best and this is actually coming from a person who has been with them for so long and have almost grown up with them. He is such an old soul who really loves music and actually wants to comfort people with his music not running behind the pop songs that seem to do well commercially nowadays. His songs bring me so much comfort and peace. Hoping to see more of bts reactions from u guys bcoz its just the trailer there is still so much left.

[@bell3320]

V! he has a beautiful and unique deep voice, he loves jazz and classical music (i recommend you to watch 'Le Jazz De V'). he also learned saxophone and trumpet. and Yes! that's what makes BTS special, because you can find 7 differrent colors, tones, flavors, uniqueness in 1 group. You can find every genre in BTS, they are people who truly love music💜

[@tantiongcomelannie8253]

Thats why i love V his voice is amazing...its heaven 💜

[@clbock1227]

V was mostly raised by his Grandmother, and I think this turned him into an old soul. He is such a unique person and I love the timbre of his voice. He does tend to sit on the bottom side of the pitch when he sings. When he was younger, he had a lot of pitch issues when he sang live. But, he's worked hard and really matured into a wonderful musician.

[@monicaphares5030]

His voice is flawless! I have heard his voice go to all ranges both with such depth power highs unbelievably low tones. And a comforting sound that's like drinking a hot cup of coffee in the morning. I could spot his voice out among a crowd just like that for the uniqueness of it. Thank you so much for your reaction

[@annar6432]

I would concur with the comments here - get in to the rabbit hole that is taehyung and it’s really hard not to appreciate his vocals. He has crazy range - singularity, stigma, innerchild, jump, fire then this! PS: I’ve noticed you guys don’t leave a comment unread and that is sooooooo special! You make your audience feel included. Your reaction space is like creating a psychologically safe space! You guys are cool❤

[@eeveel8318]

Taehyung is such a great story teller I love he conveys his feelings , so different from anyone K-POP idol , and that’s awesome 🤌🎼💜
