I can’t believe it’s been a year since Jin released his single The Astronaut. He flew all the way to Argentina just to perform ONE SONG before he enlist. I always tear up when I watch his last performance🥹💜

[@mayramaiaped]

Me too! I can't even hear TA without bursting into tears! It is such a beautiful song and the fact that he flew more than 36h just to do those few minutes because he knew we would like it is so heartwarming... I miss him a lot

[@annebenitez2340]

And @Throga, they were chanting Jin’s Korean name “ Kim Seokjin” when Jin & Chris Martin were sharing a mic. Obviously, there were Army’s in the crowd.

[@aissaagregado3309]

I know, it's been a year already. Plus hearing this after all the recent enlistment process makes me tear up all the more. 😢😢😢

[@robinbragg5585]

Me too. But I think it's because it was Jins goodbye for a little while. So I always end up crying

[@Taetaele]

i cry all the time while watching that astronaut performance, you didn’t see the audience but army at the concert were crying so bad too after, because we knew it was his last performance for a while

[@Taetaele]

also Chris did a little speech before but it wasn’t in the video, if you are curious to check it out

[@glossaria2]

The piano part in Snooze was a collaboration with one of Yoongi's idols, the great Japanese composer Ryuichi Sakamoto (I believe it was the last thing he worked on before he died), who actually played it for the album. And I BEG you guys to go back and read the lyrics to Snooze later in more depth, because I think you'll really appreciate them. This song is very much Yoongi's legacy and message to the singers of the next generation. The last bit, from "dream" onward, is a direct callback to his song "So Far Away" from his first Agust D mixtape. On the final day of his tour, the emotions in this song, and having all members and his juniors present and watching him succeed, really got to him, and he broke down at "Everything will be okay." The band kept playing, and ARMY took over and sang it to him, instead. You're definitely going to find recordings of that performance out there and I'd love for you to watch it, but I'd ask you to please NOT use it for a reaction. It was an extremely vulnerable moment for him, and (odd to say with an audience of tens of thousands of people in person, and millions online) intimate, and I'd rather not see it analyzed. He and the other members make a lot of jokes about "SUGA" being like "Sugar" (no, it's not Korean, but neither is "Shooting Guard" 😆). And Agust D is D-T (for Daegu Town) + SUGA spelled backwards.

[@evantesseract737]

This is a perfect comment, thank you. I completely agree.

[@robinbragg5585]

I agree completely. This was such a raw vulnerable performance. I'd rather not have someone analyze it. Just watch it for your own enjoyment

I'm not sure if you were aware that J-hope's Chicken Noodle Soup was a remake and sampled an original version from 2006. The official MV is as fun as the live Lollapalooza performance!

Suga was born in Daegu Town - so DT is short for that. AgustD - the DT + Suga backwards. Singularity is on the love yourself album so V’s solo on that album. Layover is solo album title done by V.

[@glossaria2]

Jin's The Astronaut... THAT MAN. 😍 He flew THIRTY HOURS ONE WAY to perform for 15 minutes at Coldplay's Buenos Aires concert, just so he could say goodbye to ARMYs. The audience was chanting was his full name-- Kim Seokjin. All of their full names are three syllables (which RM refers to in Persona), so the fanchant is all their names in age order (except for leader RM at the beginning), three eighth-note beats for each with an eighth rest between: "Kim Namjoon, Kim Seokjin, Min Yoongi, Jung Hoseok, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Jeon Jungkook, BTS!" For their solo work we've mostly chanted just that member's name, except for when Yoongi sang Life Goes On on tour. For that song, ARMY did the full fanchant, and he started extending the intro so he could hear it for longer. :D

[@damianBTSot7]

The 3 syllables of RM's real name are "Kim Namjoon." This song (and the album) is based on Carl Jung's theory of the self. "Persona"-RM "Shadow"-Suga "Ego"-J-hope All three songs are on the album "Map of the Soul:7" All 3 songs (and videos) fit all 3 members of the rapline perfectly. The lyrics are deep & the songs are really good! Check out the other 2!

And Map Of The Soul:PERSONA introduces those concepts beginning with PERSONA, both song and theme.

You should watch V Singularity perform live, it's legendary.

[@1marieleathem]

What you guys said after V's song about self reflection, and growing is so spot on. In their yearly Festa Dinner 2022, when they announced their break, you can really hear their sincerity (as always) to ARMY but you can also hear their exhaustion and frankly, they've just run out of things to write about. They haven't had the normal, growing experiences that are needed to write. They've had tons of growth, for sure, but the IDOL life can be strict and schedules show no mercy. You'll hear from each of them. They feel extreme guilt for needing a break, it's crazy. They feel they're letting us down. It's RM that broke me at the end when he said "... that we could talk and be happy without thinking about the rules of the world" and his voice broke. They wanted some freedom and to not be scrutinized. It's a really emotional dinner but the guys are always so authentic and transparent. This also feeds into their solo work and the direction of it. Jimin's "Set Me Free", RM's "Wildflower" which is basically looking back at his 20's. Suga's "Snooze" which he has said was to give comfort and understanding to the younger Idols hoping to make their journey less stressful. Anyhow, I've rambled now but here's a Billboard article on it and it does include the video. I know it will resonate with you both, as musicians and for you, Johnny as a songwriter. Sorry to go on and on but what you guys said after V's song was just so spot on. www.billboard.com/music/music-news/bts-announce-hiatus-1235087020/ Sorry my fellow ARMY Fam for going on and on. I think I'm a little emotional after the past few days. 😢😢

Jins song the astronaut was made for army as a farewell since he was going into the military.

[@glossaria2]

V puts so much FLAVOR into his songs, and I LOVE when we get to hear him using the lower portion of his range. This is from BTS's "Love Yourself :Tear" album, which is in the middle of their fourth-era "Love Yourself" story arc. Album 1, "Love Yourself: Her," is about the thrill of experiencing first love, "Tear" is the pain of break-up on realizing the love was false, and "Love Yourself: Answer" is about discovering true love through learning to love yourself. (Jin's "Epiphany" is in "Answer.") There was also a short film, "Love Yourself: Wonder," which introduced the series with JK's "Euphoria." Tear was a major turning-point for BTS in a lot of ways. The pressure of their new success and their intense promotion schedules for Fake Love (they got a day and a half off PER MONTH) made them seriously contemplate disbanding (which was the impetus for the rap line writing "Outro: Tear," which is... INTENSE). Thankfully, they didn't.

[@WonderingWildWanderingRose]

I just need to point out that we didn't know, for about a year that they'd even considered disbanding and it was another 2 years before we learned the backstory of Outro:Tear's introduction to the members and its effect on the disbandment decision. So many people tell reactors (& therefore new ARMY) the very specific personal meaning the song has for the members, but that biases people's understanding and ability to relate to the song in any other way. Many of us were able, in that over 2 year period of non-knowledge, to use that song for personal meaning/healing without having that strong group meaning interfering. (A beautiful love song "Mandy" by Barry Manilow was forever ruined for me as a romantic song when I learned he had written it for his DOG!) We should be careful not to steal other newcomers' opportunity to use BTS music for healing. (IMHO)

[@z0feya]

As far as Jungkook songs go... Still With You is kind of special because he wrote it himself--lyrics and melody--and had a hand in the production. And it's very him, isn't it? the melody is pretty but unexpected, sort of meandering all over the place. If you ever end up watching any BTS content outside of music, you might understand what I mean... JK's brain is kind of... charmingly strange. 😅

[@evantesseract737]

It's such a simple little song, too. I hope after his service that Jungkook dives back into songwriting - he's done amazing work on his solo tracks, but I'd love to hear what he writes. 💜

[@z0feya]

@@evantesseract737 Same! Golden was nice, but I want to hear something personal from him. His brand of artistry is really intriguing, and we haven't gotten to see too much of it yet. I want to know what he does once his creativity is unrestricted, when he's not stressed out by... ya know... a looming enlistment deadline. 😊

[@VanGogh-qg1zr]

Loving how Johnny enjoys the chords on V songs a lot. RM wrote Singularity specifically for V showcasing his baritone voice. As you continue on your BTS journey, you’ll surely notice how versatile V is. In group songs, he rarely sings in his comfort range and they often give him the most difficult parts (according to RM) where V’s the one who adjusts in songs made for tenors. It was mentioned in Suchwita V has widened his vocal range by an octave as a result. 🤯

[@fatemehjanipoor4372]

Namjoon is an amazing writer and really good at using words in different meanings and manipulating words . You should listen to their song Dang and also watch the explanation video of it

The song you did for RM ‘Intro: Persona’ is connected to Sugas ‘Interlude: Shadow’ and JHopes ‘Outro: Ego’… the songs are from BTS’s Map of the Soul :7 Album and they’re based on Carl Jungs book and theory of a persons psychology…… You should have watched some other song from him, like Closer or Forgetful, the performance is in the same video y’all watched!

A few of Jimin's songs are from the time they were confined during the pandemic. Set Me Free. Jimin had a rough time, he was in a lot of pain and they took him to the hospital. He had appendicitis, he also tested positive for Covid at the same time.

[@glossaria2]

One of the things I love about Set Me Free Pt 2 is that Jimin dives a lot more into his lower register. He doesn't use chest voice often, but when he does it's got quite an effect. The album it comes from was basically his pandemic response, when he had a lot of time to sit with himself and work through a lot of things he's felt have been holding him back. (He's a perfectionist and often VERY hard on himself.)

[@evantesseract737]

I love how many different ways he used his voice on Set Me Free - he made it into a whole conversation with himself. Before it came out I was hoping he'd surprise us and he really, really did. 💜

I’m hoping you continue to be interested in BTS and , greedily, hope through the year and half they are in the military.

[@VAngel876]

Just a note at the start. BTS as a whole and individually love to make lyrics and music differently. They make happy songs instrumentally and sad lyrically and visa verse. 1. Jimin's song was written as part of an album, he wrote the album due to feeling lost during the pandemic. This song was towards the end after "Like Crazy" which was how he expressed his feelings of being lost. 2. Jin wrote his song with Coldplay and specifically Chris's son. He wrote and sang this song for his fans directly before he went in for his enlistment. He wanted to thank his fans for all their support and did so beautifully. 3. RM's song Intro: Persona was written in conjuction with Suga's Interlude and J-Hope's Outro but this song was first in the album Map of the Soul: Persona. He is very into reading and this album was part of his Carl Jung's book about Man and his Symbols about the conscious and the unconscious man. So this is why he speaks of the Persona, Shadow and Ego. 4. Suga wrote this song to encourage others who are beginning to start in the music industry. He felt so alone at the beginning of his career as many people took advantage of a poor, young Min Yoongi. He therefor wants to encourage young artists that they don't have not failed if they can't be BTS right away. They need to take the steps to make themselves good and just take it easy, not worry so much. 5. V's Singularity was written for the album Love Yourself: Tear the three albums that ended in Tear were about the need in the end to love yourself. Singularity is the nature of in the end being alone even though you never intended to be. In "Fake Love" from BTS it talks of losing my voice for you so this song also talks of the same thing. V is very good with the soul music. 6. Chicken Noodle Soup was J-Hope's favorite song growing up. It was originally a song from the 90s and that is what you hear at the beginning of the song. He would dance to this song as a young man. The dance is actually the orginal dance but with more twerking lol. 7. Jungkook's Still with You was written again during the pandemic to let ARMY know that he is always with them in heart. Stay Alive was written for a webtoon that BTS as a whole was associated with. Each of the charcters in the webtoon has a parallel to a BTS member and in the webtoon they are fighting monsters thus the need for them all to Stay Alive. But as an individual each needs to stay alive but needs help to stay alive.

I always interpreted the "radio effect" as the fact that we were only able to meet through electronic media at the time. 😢 Stay Alive is the OST for their webtoon 7 Fates: Chakho which is a really gory supernatural story tbh so "please stay alive" is actually quite fitting. 😅

Oh guys I really needed this today, thanks 😭 I will wait for The Golden boy Jungkook ♥︎✨🥺

[@Justagyrl]

Thank you so much. I really missed hearing Jin's voice. I will miss them all so much

[@suzannahmontreal1051]

I'm so glad to have a reactor who is primarily about music since it is what I care about, I see the voice as an instrument among others. As for the BTS lyrics, they're mostly in Korean so the rhymes, wordplay, double entendre, syllable repetition, poetic evocation etc are lost in translation which only leave us with a skeleton without flesh. So yeah Music first always.

[@myouniverse0613]

That’s mostly true for RM’s lyrics but Suga’s lyrics are bare and simple, just pure storytelling.

[@suzannahmontreal1051]

@@myouniverse0613Yeah but I love Yoongi for his sound, his music including his voice, tone, rap skills, his cadence all that gives me the emotion. I read the lyrics and what the songs are about but that's not what drove me to love him. And as for BTS, I don't know what 70% of the songs are about. It's pretty common among non English speakers (as I once was) who are used to listen to anglophones American/British artists without caring about lyrics or meaning. Even if I understand English now, I still neither pay attention nor care. Music first, always 🎶

Holaaa!! Muchas, muchas gracias por este video especialmente en este momento. 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Si, My Universe es una colaboración entre Coldplay y BTS. Les recomiendo ver el documental que hay sobre la grabación, Chris Martin viajó a Corea del Sur. 🎶🎶🎶 Que tengan lindo dia!! 🤗💜🇺🇾

[@aissatoubakhoum846]

Thank you guys for the update in this difficult period 😢. Hope you're doing well❤.

[@tessa_mae]

Good morning from Ohio! After im so successive 2 days in a row so down bcoz of the boys just went in to military enlistment, this will be a comfort to me guys of playing each their solo. Love the 7 although i got a bias shich is Suga but I love all of them. Theyre the best and very down to earth, passionate to their fans and really descent human being s. Thank you very much for doing this for us ) armys. God bless and be well🙏

[@MystiqueRisingSun]

Jimin bias here, but I'm in Ohio, too! I am actually taking the last 4 enlisting so close together quite well, though. Hobi was - oddly - the hardest for me. I think because Jin being 30, logically, I knew he *had* to go when he did. Yoongi, doing civil service, isn't nearly as strenuous as a full-time "recruit". Hobi - going second - was difficult, I think because I was really expecting them to go in age order. Then, with Yoongi's tour, of course, he couldn't go right away. I AM glad, however, that RM and V...plus Jimin and JK...got to enlist together, so they're not completely alone...even if they do get separated into different units while enlisted, at least they have a good chance of seeing each other now and then. (I can't imagine how hard that was for Jin and Hobi going in "alone" like they did.) Bright side, it has already been a year...Jin will be back with "us" in just 6 short months! (Though I really hope he - as well as the others - get a week or two off after they get out to go see their family and friends first!!!)

[@paolarojas2981]

Thanks guys!!!! I purple you!!! You make happy today with this reaction.

Thanks for share, guys! I really love your reactions! 💜

[@bt6248]

Thank you for doing this today. 💜

[@sandiodonovan8953]

They were chanting Kim Seokjin 💜💜 During Cold plays song with Jin..

[@Lostinthelights1310]

What will I do for 18 months without Jimin putting wonderful performances out like Set me re pt. 2? 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@nickybomberry1190]

He took care of us! 💜

[@yoongitrash2699]

I adore yalls discussions! I wish i knew more about music theory to have a better ear for cords and such.

[@addiestyles9928]

Thank you guys, i really need this today 🥹💜

[@lisacsarmiento5627]

Set me Free is a song, composed & sang by Suga and since Jimin used the title, he added pt2. Jin's Astronaut is a good bye song for Armys before he enlisted in the military.

[@LizbethOT7]

All RM’s Indigo songs are a treasure!

[@LizbethOT7]

I agree with you guys I love Set me Free more than Like crazy and Letter to Army is just perfection 💜

[@imajinallthepurple]

The Astronaut was actually a huge surprise in the sense that it's in a lot lower register than we're used to from Jin and to be honest I wish they'd lifted it just a little. Chris called it one of the best songs they've ever written "so let's give it to Jin". 🥰 He'd even written English lyrics as well but encouraged Jin to write his own Korean verses and he did. Seeing that we bid a temporary farewell to the last two members today this honestly hit me hard BUT now we can start the countdown to their return starting with Jin on June 12th 2024 and ending with Suga on June 21st 2025. 💜 #APOBANGPO 💜 (And don't get me started on Snooze 'cause that's just an epic masterpiece imo. 🥰)

[@mayavril1]

P/s: actually Jin thanked Chris for allowing/trusting him to change the English lyrics to korean..it was such a good call!

[@uroojkhan7067]

Top 2 my fav songs of jungkook. These are my comfort songs. Thank u for this reaction.

[@JeonJungkook-wr4yr]

Jungkook still with you was on sound cloud but he put it on Spotify as gifts for Army. Wait till you hear Jungkooks album Golden talk about an emotional roller-coaster

[@laurahilliker5336]

@Thorga, guys, Suga of BTS there’s nothing sweet about him he’s pretty Savage with the lyrics as well the meaning behind his songs ! Lol!😂 Actually, his name is Suga ,And it comes from “shooting guard” A position that he played in basketball in school! So as an American or western ,it’s not pronounce like sugar it is “Shooga” that is his name when he performs with the other six members of BTS now by himself as a solo he is known as Agust D which is Suga spelled Backwards TD is backwards for Daegu town The city outside of Seoul Korea where he was born and raised as a young boy! He comes from the underground rap scene in South Korea just like RM so they did “battle Raps” which was competition of dissing your opponent with words! SUGA is quite savage when it comes to his lyrics and if you can imagine he was a very interesting threat to the other rappers in the underground hip-hop scene, RM also was a big threat because of his intellect and words that he uses in Korean, Japanese and English how he incorporates everything together and how they work well together it makes the opponent have to look up the words and the sentence in order to get an idea of what our RM is really saying! The decade that they have been together as a group and their solo albums have showed their individuality of what they want to display to the world musically as a group they are phenomenal and as a solo artist they’re phenomenal💜

[@djack94]

Snooze is so beautiful. It's my favorite song of DDay album. Suga is incredible. I've never listened rap before BTS. But they have so beautiful and meaningful songs. These boy are really amazing

[@nhiquang5327]

Bạn giống tôi quá. Trước kia tôi cũng ko nghe nhạc Rap. Nhưng như bạn nói tôi cũng nghe nhạc Rap từ khi nghe những ý nghĩa từ bài Rap của BTS. Rapline của BTS thật tuyệt ❤

[@elizabethhelsby3173]

I think you'd really enjoy It's Definitely You, which is V and Jin. There's a performance that is just incredible.

[@Nanak_oops]

It has been 3 years and still with you still my favourite song in the kpop.. It's so special and I can't listen to any one else sing it... In jk voice it has something I can't describe It will never get old ❤

[@csdsa]

As usual, love it! I think that ARMY should’ve voted for different pieces for both RM and J-hope! Although I loooove both Intro Persona and Chicken Noodle Soup, there are many more tracks that I think really exemplify the layers to their craft and who they’ve grown to be musically. Personally, I would recommend “Seoul” by RM and then “Daydream” or “Hope World” by Jhope! I’m really excited for when Jin comes back from military in 5 months-looking forward to his solo work! He had such limited time before being the first to enlist, so it was already impressive he did The Astronaut and traveled SO many hours and flights just for that singular performance with Coldplay in Argentina. Love your input on all the music theory behind each track! I think it’s awesome that both of y’all have different ears/are listening for different elements which makes these reviews so much more interesting. I was actually curious what you’d think of the auto tune for example but love that you recognized it for its purpose and as an intentional tool for the mood! Good stuff! Lastly, GOSH. Snooze is fantastic. If I’m not mistaken, Snooze was ranked by TIME as #16 of the Top 23 Best Songs of 2023! Well deserved. The part when Suga repeats “everything will be okay” is so simple but that’s why it makes it more emotional. My fave part and glad you responded that way to it! Cheers!

[@paulagrave9516]

I enjoyed it so much. But Jhope ha better songs like MORE and Hangsang. Watching J Hope's Lollapaloza is a must. He is a true talent and performer and the live band did an amazing job there.

[@Sujan_Draws]

JHope’s more is my work theme song!

[@BirdBird-wr8px]

Adoro "Hangsang" e "Base Line". Não consigo ouvir uma, sem ouvir a outra.

[@maryr1905]

Regarding your discussion about lyrics vs music initial response, I’m similar which is why the lyrics in Korean don’t bother me. I’ve told family who question how I can listen to songs in a language I don’t understand is that it is like listening to opera in another language. I pay more attention to the sounds than the lyrics. But for BTS before I go back and listen to the lyrics on subtitled versions, I look at explanation videos where they are available and find out the background of the meaning behind the song and that enhances my appreciation of it when I listen to the lyrics.

[@bt6248]

I've said the same thing about opera to my husband. I've sung in choirs all my life, and no one questions the worth of listening to songs in Italian or German or Latin. Why not Korean? Music connects.

[@HailToTheMeep]

Still With You or Stay Alive would not be one of Jungkook's song that I would recommend. I think a lot of his fans are into this type of genre. One which isn't quite my music style but REALLY displayed his vocal range is a COVER of "IF YOU" which he performed in 2016 on a show called The Masked Singer I think on MBC. MBC seemed to have recently re-uploaded this video 6 months ago, given how famous JK is now. But for me personally, it is worthy of checking out because of his vocals there. The song is too sentimental for me, but the way he sang it breathed a whole new life to it. He just turned 19 at the time (20 in Korean age), but sang with the soul of someone who knows a lifetime of pain. As a member of BTS since 14 years old, I guess he did know a life time of pain. Thanks again for this video!

[@brendajmurphy]

Thank you so much for this wonderful reaction! I hope you can do a second round of this with the members' other solo songs.... perhaps do Lie or Filter for Jimin, Still Life for RM, Seesaw for Suga, Daydream for J-Hope, Winter Bear or Stigma for V, Epiphany or Awake for Jin, Hate You or Dreamers for Jungkook. Borahae 💜

[@ckJinJkOT7]

Yes they collab with that My UNIVERSE

[@normalita7538]

Thank you so much for posting on YT! I hadn’t seen this reaction and couldn’t help tearing up with their voices and with the great memories from when these got released. Can’t wait for more of your reactions!!

[@angelbelle2005]

You can watch Jimmy Fallon's Show when Suga explains his alter ego Agust D, his name in reverse DT Daegu Town his hometown, agus, suga in reverse. He even joked, that DT is Daegu Town and not Drive Thru

[@angelbelle2005]

And Suga is short for Shooting Guard because he loves basketball and he's also good at that sport

[@LPnerd]

so happy you're feeling better, and thank you for this stream! that auto tune distortion used in a call and response was a touch of genius IMHO. Jimin's album runs from the beginning of covid to the end. Jimin was very affected by the covid isolation, he was frustrated, missed his life and most of all Army and Members. the songs run concurrent with his feelings at the time, and he also included a hidden song for ARMY on the record. Set me free was a show case for his dancing. My fav song on this record is face off. Part 1 is just SEt me free, by Suga. JIn and coldplay, this concert was in Argentina and Jin flew 40 hrs to do this one concert with Coldplay prior to enlisting and to say good bye to ARMY. He talks about it on Suga's talk show, ( which I can't spell the name of, can't even come close.), I think you both would enjoy Suga's show as they talk about music a lot. Jin and Chris wrote this song. They had to pitch shift for Chris. so parts are a little low for Jin. Fun Fact, army's made little packs with a candy, a piece of purple cellophane and a tape so people could tape it over the cell phone lights hence, all the purple lights in the audience. After singularity V was officially credited as part of the dance line along with JK. Jimin, and Hobie. RM wrote the lyrics for this. I'm disappointed chicken soup is the pick for him. as good as it is, it's the most pure POP. so many much better constructed songs like Hey Mama, or ego to just name two. It's to bring comfort, like home, and mac and cheese, hugs, and chicken noodle soup that mom makes when you're sick. Stay alive is from a BTS web toon. Don't know who wrote the music but suga produced it. I believe this is one he won a few awards for. JK's voice is so clear. This was such fun to watch with you!

[@Lydia-rb8so]

When it comes to lyrics - especially for RM tbh - I don't mind waiting. The man's a poet. I'm commenting while you grab the Persona lyrics, hoping you will enjoy them 💜

[@veronicabolanos3526]

Thank you for upload this video in youtube, I was looking for it in your website and very sad I couldn't watch it again and again, jehe, I really liked it

[@strawberrypeach0912]

YAY! thank you so much! i was looking forward to this reaction but then i couldn't watch it :( so happy to see that you could upload it. i'll be watching it now :D

[@z0feya]

Stay Alive is a soundtrack song, so appropriately, it's got that dramatic vibe. Jungkook and Suga are an amazing duo when it comes to making music. On a recent episode of Suchwita, Suga told a funny anecdote...as a producer, he often writes songs for other artists. Because Jungkook was always around, and because recording is somehow extremely quick and effortless for him, Suga used to have JK record all his guide tracks. Eventually though, they were told that this was apparently too intimidating for artists looking to make the song theirs. So... Suga had to stop using JK's vocals. Ah, the curse of having an iconic sound 🥲

[@cookieron9828]

You still have a lot of digging to do to know more about BTS. I enjoyed watching your discovery videos for BTS, hope you enjoy while knowing them as a group and individual. One thing I'm sure of.., You'll definitely like their music💜💜💜.

[@patriciarozendo51]

For more incredible vocals from JK, listen to the covers she does in her lives, such as the songs "Falling", "2u", "10,000 hours" and "Nothing like Us".🇧🇷💜
