Let's take a look at BTS V's vocal journey and marvel at his wonderful singing voice.
Dyllan Mykel, Kpopmap EditorBTS have become a world-renowned idol group, recognized all across the globe. Their star presence is second to none, effectively leading K-Pop to newer heights with every step of their career. Despite all members currently carrying out their mandatory military service, they've filmed and recorded enough content so ARMY will be unable to feel their absence during the time apart.
Just recently, BTS V's newest single, 'FRI(END)S', dropped to the excitement of fans everywhere. It's a love song at its core, raising question marks over undefined relationships but also reveling in the heartwarming feelings that come with it.
One of the things millions can agree on is that V's voice is absolutely heaven-sent, dripping with a tantalizing sweetness that you quickly become addicted to. Although he's so deeply tied to being a member of BTS, the idol has his own vocal color that screams unique and original.
V has come a long way and is now recognized as one of the world's most loveliest vocalists.
The start of BTS' career was explosive with a hip-hop focused title track that may surprise some newer fans. During this period there were small snippets of V's vocals, but nowhere near as much as we hear it today. Even looking at his debut concept photo, you would never expect that the idol carried such a refreshing vocal tone.
But as time would go on, fans and netizens alike would start to discover V's tender vocals. This is highlighted most especially in his cover of 'Someone Like You'.
The cinematography screams homemade video for the family as V broodingly walks down a random alleyway. However, accompanied by his amazing voice in the background, your heart begins to melt a million times over. For those discovering the idol's voice for the first time with this cover, it's a revolutionary moment that they surely have not forgotten.
Luckily for fans, V did not stop there. From that point onward, he began to create even more opportunities for ARMY to hear his voice outside of BTS recordings. At first, he simply uploaded covers onto his group's official YouTube channel. His renditions of songs like 'Hug Me' put millions in a state of shock and awe.
Then, there's also K-Drama soundtrack V. While his first OST appearance was for a series he was starring in, due to his strong bond with the Wooga Squad he gladly lent his voice for his dear friends. This gave way to heartwarming hits in 'Sweet Night' and 'Christmas Tree'.
Hearing V's voice in the background of such moving dramas elevated numerous scenes to the next level, with a growing appreciation towards the drama and the BTS member himself. Even after these series concluded, fans continued to listen to V's wonderful OST soundtracks.
Even while focusing on group promotions, V continued to remain passionate about his own music. While standing on stage as a member of BTS, he simultaneously released original songs like 'Scenery' and 'Winter Bear'. Through these tracks he continued to showcase himself as a sentimental vocalist, much different from the energetic idol that fans often witnessed dancing on stage.
It wasn't until 2023 that V finally came out with his solo debut album, "Layover". It was a true testament of V as an artist and the type of unforgettable vocalist he's become over the years. The entire album tugged on fans' heartstrings, making them vulnerable and softhearted right until the very last note.
Now there's no doubt in anyone's mind that V's angelic vocals deserves so much praise and more. He's come a long way as both a group member of BTS and as an established soloist. While he's fulfilling his military service, fans are sure to listen to V's voice a million times over, waiting patiently until he's able to join ARMY once again.

"Are you a 'T'?" Find out about this fun Korean slang phrase for checking someone's MBTI!
Kay Sesoko, Kpopmap EditorBTS' V: 너무 'T' 아니에요? (Isn't she too much like a 'T'?)
IU: 나 'F'야. (I'm an 'F'.)
IU: 너 'T'야? (Are you a 'T'?)
BTS' V: 나 'F'야. (I'm an 'F'.)
IU: 나도. (Me too.)
"Are you a T?" ("너 'T'야?" in Korean) is the latest Korean slang phrase that you can hear wherever you go. It refers to the 'T' that forms part of the MBTI personality test - which refers to 'Thinkers' (the opposite of 'F' which refers to 'Feelers').
This question has become a meme in Korea that people use jokingly when someone coldly spits facts or doesn't empathize with a situation. It might even be used with the connotation, "What's wrong with you?" You can spot a lot of your favorite idols and actors using the phrase in their content these days. For instance, IU and BTS' V were seen using the phrase in their 'Love wins all' behind-the-scenes video. You can watch the full video here.
