You're anticipating the high note, we're anticipating him flying high😂
@Tomas Terry begone bot
The crazy thing is that Jungkook basically taught himself his own technique because he didn't want to take classes for fear that they'd change his singing style and tone. He literally did that himself since he was thirteen.
Yes I saw he said in interview with jhope...
yes he did go to class but not very much
someone on your stream said they're too "happy-go-lucky" but they have yet to hear bts' darker music... they have everything you could want in a discography. give them louder than bombs, tomorrow, house of cards, lie, stigma, begin, outro: tear... and they will see
I was going to comment that. Nah, my guy they’ve written some dark songs
Fr like the song is literally called "Euphoria" what did they expect the song to be like all depressing? Lol
@@QAmodb ikr?
Exactly! Some ppl really just judge their whole discography over only 1 song when in reality they have the most versatile discography ever
Yeah exactly and even if they didn’t make dark music, what’s wrong with making happy or positive sounds songs?? Some people need to stop being so judgmental
Jungkook is so impressive and a great singer thank you for your reaction we really appreciate it
Dude, I was just looking up JK reactions and couldn’t find very many by reactors that I respect. Lo and behold, I keep searching and found your just posted video. JK is one of the singers I look up to a lot. Thank you!!!!!
Hey, I'm so glad! Thanks for your kind words :)
@@CharlieCalottaReacts wondering if you would check out “main vocalist jungkook” by Ida s or “evolution of jungkooks vocals” by Ida s and there’s a bunch of clips and behind the scenes stuff of them live, recording music and what his roll is, what it means to the others and more info about how much he does behind the scenes that we never see… it’s crazy… he basically is the only person doing almost every chorus… no other vocalists lol just his layered vocals and love they have the other vocalists sing on top of his harmonizing vocals to make them more full…. He’s got a great ear for music and his harmonies with the vocalists and also the rap line is so good but his adlibs are just always elevate the song bc of how he does them… think you’d like the content of both of these to get a better idea
He got the looks, the voice, the body, and the talent. This man is so fckn insane talented!
Jungkook is the “Main Vocalist” of BTS. He truly has the voice of an angel! 🥰💜 Please react to “Jungkook’s Amazing Vocals, Ad libs, and Harmonies” by Ida S. 💜💜
Yes Ida S makes really good Jungkook related content that shows how talented he is!
Yes please!!
Jungkook vocals are rare in kpop
Jungkook is the main voicalist, lead dancer, sub rapper and center of bts.
center of bts? Wut? Where did you get that info? In my 5 years stanning I've never heard that. the BTS I've known is a group without a frontman. Also, sub rapper? he has not rapped in a long, long, long while.
center of bangtan hahaha are you a baby army?
@@Jo-oq2xy And how long Jungkook didn't rap in your opinion?
@@belenmongelos2792 i think you are baby army😂
@@Jo-oq2xy i think you still have to know about BTS
Nice! Thanks for reacting to Jungkook's Euphoria! I really enjoyed it. :)
Kookie's voice is so smooth and angelic. How is his voice so consistent, even when in the air? I can't imagine the amount of work he has put in to get this good. Purrfect performance :)
I swear most of BTS live performances, at least the videos I've seen, sound better than the studio versions.
Jungkook: Take my hands now
Jk: Close the door now when I'm with you🦋♥️🌸💗🦋💜
HE IS MY EUPHORIA JK😘💋♥️
Suga explained on a Korean talk show that when they came to the US in 2017 for the AMAs, their US TV debut, the huge reaction made them realize that that would only be the start of their success worldwide. They are very humble and take the responsibility of fame very seriously, so they had to take a break to figure out if they wanted to continue or not. I think that speaks volumes of them as artists. A lot of people wouldn't have thought twice about gaining fame.
Yes, they're the biggest group in the world now. Actually, they were the bestselling artist in the world last year (IFPI). They're Korean, though, and they've said that they feel like aliens in the Western music industry. They're happy with the fame and everything now, though. After giving it thought, they realized that this is what they want and their bond with ARMY is unprecedented. It's really hard to explain how close it is.
Anyway, thank you so much for the reaction, I love your BTS reactions! I really recommend checking out This Is BTS and BTS Crash Course 2020 for an introduction to who the group is! 💞
Jungkook practice on his voice by himself from debut up till now , but when he was trainee he take vocal lesson from coach And other bts (member Jimin , Taehyung , Jin ) takes vocal lessons when they needs up till now . Jungkook is the only who don't take vocal lessons after debut on purpose bcs he said in an interview that he did not want to lose his voice color/ style by focusing on Vocalization. He said that first he wants to sticks to his style and wants to improve by practicing himself . He did awsem job you will find him anytime singing anywhere, he is so passionate for singing. He becomes so effortlessly professional singer.He is so versatile in singing. He was the only member who had singing experience before joining bighit. He was good singer from start age of 12 or 13. In 2011 he joined bighit and become trainee and debut as Main Vocalist in 2013.
As a Main vocalist he has many talents and responsibilities.
Most of the background vocals , adlibs, harmonization are done by him.
He also record vocal guides tracks for bts songs (vocal guides are like demo which gives direction how to sing specific melody, runs or notes) He also gives advices to other vocalist in the group if they need help.
In Euphoria he also add adlibs and runs himself. There is another version of Euphoria Dj swel version . And there is video of him recording Euphoria and he is telling the producer to add the adlibs or runs in that part.
He is very talented from very young age . He also wrote and produced his First song in 2015 at age of 17
Love is not over . Then so on.
What singing experience did he had before joining BH?
@@bee12117 i don't know if he talked about his singing experienced before being a trainee but he joined a singing competition in korea before named Superstar K, but lost in the second round. and so his video didn't make it in the tv
here's the link of his audition in the show th-cam.com/video/EJ6xv7U7veU/w-d-xo.html
@@unknowninglee Ok I know about that. But it's not the same as taking vocal lessons.
@@bee12117 well he never mentioned anything about taking vocal lessons before he became a trainee so maybe not
You should here him sing Acapella! His voice is beautiful and he can transition between notes with such ease and grace. I could honestly listen to him sing all day long.
it’s cute to see you getting impressed by looks 😂💜 Jk is called the bunny 🐰 and his doe eyes 🥺 he is so beautiful!
His eyes were thing that got me 1st, other than his voice
please react on YOUR EYES TELL..live performance. it was composed by jungkook.
Jimin is taking vocal lessons from the trainee period that's why his vocals improved so much.
other member ( taehyung , Jin along with jimin ) Still takes vocals lessons if they need.
jungkook after debut didn't take vocal lessons on purpose he said in interview bcs he did not want to lose his own style.he said from since he is practice himself.
Actually, JK said "I didn't take that many lessons since I was trainee till now" It doesn't mean that he hasn't taken any more and that if he really really needs an advice he can always take a lesson now. ^^
@@lyna2559 Actually he said he doesn't take them bc he dislikes what they do to his voice
@@lyna2559 no he doesn’t… it’s why he says ge prefers to practice just by himself bc he didn’t want to lose his style. His way of doing it kept his style but gave him time to progress overtime without losing his vocal personality. Jungkooks style of sining is not common for those that truly know his vocal diversity… people get confused bc how he sings changes so effortlessly and it’s not something easy todo at all… also how he chooses to mix in vocal colors and textures make his voice sound so different all the time but constantly improving. He said he built his technique up himself and he started with more skill and control than the other vocalists even though they were all good… but even though he was a baby.. his voice, raps and dance helped him earn that “center” spot for performances … the others definitely have grown so much especially from where they started… it’s rady bc I think they’re all pretty far above average as vocalists as a line… jk just has elite technique and style… he breath control and vocal stability are second to none… interesting kid lol
@@lyna2559 he actually said lot but you definitely didn't get what he said please watch interview again...
@@blarmy827 you sum up perfectly
He leaves you speechless at times and just jaw dropping stances right? 😂😂😂 he is really one of the best when it comes to having a very versatile voice range. He sings lead, backups, sub rapper, lead dancer, and does harmonizing with the whole group. 💜 He has the charm and capacity to mesmerize or hypnotize his audience into captivating them to just stare and then probably cry since they can connect to his message through his singing. JK is cute,handsome and very much talented in what he does. JACK OF ALL TRADES BUT INSTEAD OF A MASTER OF NONE ...HE IS THE MASTER OF ALL HE ENDEVOURS TO TAKE ON 💜💜💜 AGAIN THANK YOU FOR THIS 💜💜💜
Это бесподобно, как голос Чонгука завораживает нас всех
Jk best voice in the world &best one in the world king 💜🐰🔥😭
Jungkook love you 💜
Jungkook - still with you
I look forward to your reaction video 😊
Omg I can’t imagine him watching jungkook doing “my time” live!!!! And yes this boy is GORGEOUS!!! Also “my time” has a similar high note but in a completely different vibe and way lol I think it would be interesting to see him do “my time” live in black leather or the skin tight red suit with slicked back black hair and undercut….. there’s only two live performances bc quarantine happened before they toured with that song… but it’s definitely jungkook showing he’s not little baby jungkook anymore and he’s a grown ass man! Definitely such a good watch for new people 😂
Please, react jungkook doesn't know autotune! Angel Voice ❤️
jungkook helps them with singing alot. that is part of the reason they sound so amazing. cookie does adlib, background singing, he even lays down tracks for them to practice on. cookie is amazing for all the work he does for the group. they all do their part tho and they have worked so hard to get where they are today. i cant think of anymore deserving group then them
They almost disbanded in 2018. In 2017 they blew up even more in America and just globally. With fame comes hate and that took a toll on them. Not to mention personally some of the members went through a lot. For example, Taehyung lost his grandfather and friend that year. Mentally they were all struggling.
I hope you check more of his vocals
Especially raw ones he is known as acapella king , sings every chance he gets
Pls react to jungkook's "still with you" lyrics video
I want to hear your opinion about this ' Jungkook the main vocalist of bts by Ida S' . It mainly focuses on his responsibilities not a vocal compilation.
Thank you sooo much for react to jungkook his vocal ability is amazing he can pull of every genre of song he is mainvocal,center,leaddancer,subrapper and the youngest of BTS he called GOLDENMAKNAE cuz he is the youngest and can litteraly do anything above average try to know him more he is amazing and kind human being
Thank you for appreciating how him flying around and hitting the note while doing this… bc it’s really looking so easy bc of jk… but we know he always looks effortless when singing… it’s so crazy!!! The one whole one foot thing freaks me up… they weren’t terrified of success…. They were struggling mentally from the years of hate in Korea and then came to the us and had to face the racism and the other bs. These boys are pure happiness
Im happy to see how through your channel people get to know different styles of music and even if a particular artist's music is not their style, they can still explore and appreciate it :) Suga from BTS said that you will like BTS music if you listen without prejudice :)
1 thing though Jimin has people to help him with vocal lessons. In many instances he has talked about it
Misconception came was when they were on tour and during the tour, because of the dates, at that time they couldn't get a vocal coach but lot of people misinterpreted it as if he is not given the opportunity to take vocal lessons
The “almost disband” thing was in the beginning of 2018, and we don’t know the cause, Jin just said they were “tired mentally”
Thanks for this reaction. I love how you articulate the details , and your editing and audio is so smooth :) BTS turned me around too i used to shun Kpop
Thank you so much!! The editing and everything is actually done live, and I worked really hard to get it to that point, so thank you! I'm really learning how impactful this group is, and people like you are part of that journey!
jungkook is such a legendary vocalist!! i appreciate BTS members so much because they are able to fill the stage by themselves too 💜 also about the jimin comment on your live, the whole jm isn't confident with his voice deal is pretty outdated. that was back in their younger days when he didn't receive the appropriate training yet. Now he's doing great and making good use of his unique tone 🥰💜 you should hear ypur eyes tell, stay gold and serendipity to hear for yourself 💜💜💜💜
You can tell that he is ABSOLUTELY not afraid of heights (see his bungee-jumping video) - most of us would clench up and have trouble breathing being hoisted up and dropped down like this, and he's relaxed, breathing freely AND pushing out those smooth, strong tones at the same time.
I would just be screaming. ;)
Jungkook💜 es único 🎵🎶👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I love how you take it all in "the musical experiment that is bts"...yes exactly! One of my favorite things is growing up and growing old with bts...we've both changed since meeting each other 😅
Oh my friend famous opera singer was in the Sidney opera House was singng while hanging from the ceiling in a full body contraption and custom. It's of swung round and he was facing the backdrop and had to continue in character and sing while holding in desire to laugh. I remember him telling me about it and I later saw the televised production on BBC One our national TV company . He's written 2 autobio about his life as a famous British opera singer. So when I see Jungkook flying through the air I think you are so brave anything could happen.
Jungkook ❤️
I wanna clarify that comment at 10:20 ! They didn't want to disband in 2017, but in 2018 they were thinking if they should resign their 7 year contract or not. (They cannot just disband whenever)
Yes, they were scared of their succes, some more than the others. Suga talked about his fears in a few songs. He also shared that after they got to perform at 2017 AMAs, he cried in the shower the same night because he was so terrified!
In 2018 the time when we got the LY: Tear album with many emotional songs. At the awards shows that year they gave a speech snd shared their thoughts about disbandment, and everyone cried.
Luckily, they resigned their contract in 2020, and are still very passionate about music and performance 🥰 (sorry for the lengthy comment)
BTS are like the avengers in music industry, the best of the best
As someone from Germany, I've definitely seen some interesting reinterpretations of operas. I didn't know that it's a typically German thing though.
We once went on a school trip to the opera (10th grade, I think) to see 'Carmen' and for some reason everyone was naked and climbing chain-link fences. I'm still not smart or artsy enough to get why.
They sang about almost disbanding in "Louder than bombs" and rapped about it in "Outro:Tear"
100% recommend you check these out with lyrics
There's also interlude :shadow which talks about the fear of success as well. Although i can't relate to the song at all since im not famous, it still really move me and i get it because that's how i would feel if i was in that position
Yes! Definitely check out Tear, at least!
Louder than Bombs is about their fans' pain and pain in general, not necessarily about them disbanding (not been explicitly talked about). Outro Tear is though since SUGA mentioned it.
Thats not what ltb is about, do you even watch Namjoon's live? Ltb is about the letters Army send them and the feeling that they can't help everyine
Thank you so much for this. Please do more BTS. I never used twitch but I especially go to check out your reactions.
"One of the biggest...". Who could be bigger than BTS today? Anyway congratulations to Dynamite, now certified 3X Platinum by the RIAA (3 million units sold in America).
Jungkook is an angel
React to Jungkook If you live cover on masked singer by Mel Galarza channel Full live cover is only on this channel
up
Yes please
This was great. Really great. Cheers to your folks in the chat.
4:10 fuck PLEASE watch “main vocalist jungkook” by Ida s….. also “on kinetic manifesto con prima” or do it live… their comeback stage basically
If you don’t watch this song and feel euphoric than you’re a miserable person … 😂 nah but for real how can this not bring you happiness!!! Also the pedal he is standing on his half the size of his foot and he’s on one foot and the other he’s on the ball of and he flys all around the stadium…. And so fast and far with his arm up like that… but he’s going really fast with not much holding him up there and he can’t be moving…. And how he moves at all up there and he’s waving and looking down… like wtf!!!!
They are being pampered .
They live in a dorm all 7 boys.
Two bts videos in one day, we spoiled lol
Loved this reaction, you seem really cool. Take care
First time watcher and new sub. Appreciate you digging a bit deeper into their vocal mechanisms.
Meu bebê sempre'adorável JK ❤️ JK de ouro bebê
It is true in the fact that they considered disbanding (it was early 2018 however) because their success was starting to get overwhelming. It comes from the perspective that- the chances of bts getting big in Korea was slim simply because of the fact their company was smaller meaning they did not get as much opportunity as groups from bigger companies. But when they started getting really big here in the west it quickly became too much-> I think it was around the time that they first performed at on live TV in America (late 2017) that they had to take some time to figure out if they wanted to continue to keep going or if it was time to hang up the towel. They took a break around that time and they decided to continue with their careers thankfully, but it does sadden us knowing how close we were to losing them :(
Brian; If you want to know how ARMY found out that BTS almost disbanded, please watch

I am new to your channel, but OMG! So respectful! Thank you for your explanation
I was checking your account last week to see if you uploaded any new BTS reactions but didn't find any and today I come back and see you did one to their Fix You cover AND Euphoria?!!! My lucky day 🙏
BTS 리액션 너무 좋아요 ~
또 해주세요 ^ * ^
I don't know if you've reacted to Magic Shop by BTS. It's a beautiful song, they all shine in it, and it's one of my favorites.
Plz react to
Jungkook karaoke master by Ida S channel
JungKook said in many interviews he stopped taking vocal lessons after they debuted in 2013. He said he worked by himself singing every moment he was awake. He says he is aware he lacks vocalization, but he does not want to take lessons about it and lose his style. He found his own voice and does not want to change it.
You should react Jungkook- Decalcomania and Bts Born Singer Live Stage Mix.
Who ever said Jimin doesn't have anyone to teach him how to use his voice didn't know what they were talking about. Each member is allowed to have any help they want or work by themselves it's the ethos of Big Hit. Freedom to develop.
I love Jungkooks voice the most, it goes straight into my heart and stays there💜 And his the main vocalist for a reason. If you want to see what BTS says about Jungkook you can watch it here from Ida s youtube channel. th-cam.com/video/T16cR3euP2s/w-d-xo.html
Our main vocalist Jungkook
We love u Jungkook 💜
I think you need to watch the BTS guide and BTS introduction and BTS hardships to know them well
it's not true that they almost disbanded in 2017, bc they were scared of their success... they discussed disbandment in 2018, bc they were going thru hard times. they weren't in the best place mentally, the amount of hate and pressure they had then as a group not to mention their personal struggles as Tae lost his grandfather, the de*th threats everything just cumulated in them. rap line wrote the song "outro: tear" for this exact reason the song express their fear of being torn apart and the pain that it'd cause
Comment in the livestream: This song isn't dark enough for me.
Me: Thinking about Jungkook's character in the BU jumping off a building cause of family negligence and his friends group falling apart every time I hear this song.
I mean even the music video is on a rooftop. You fly high, you fall hard. The song always reminds me of the kind of highs where you are bound to crash so it kind of creeps me out
Fun point...He was a little annoyed that he had to use the safety harness.😂 He is an adrenaline junkie.
I highly recommend you to check out Ado "Odo" her vocal techniques is UNBELIEVABLE. Seriously
That one person that said they were "terrified of their success" and this was the reason they almost disbanded at one point. I would really love to know where they got that reason behind their near disbandment from.
I love your reactions.... but some of ur stream commenters... 😬 I try to avoid reading them cuz... theres some really close minded people in there....
Why is it that girls are looked down on for being enthusiastic about the things they enjoy, but men can get a pass for going crazy when showing literally the same reactions...
Anyway it's not your faul a lot of men in particular have very close minded views but still... I think is super commendable that you share about BTS with your people, cuz a lot would go eww why? (Which I've seen from the stream comments) but you're always so respectful and insightful, so thank u for that!!
People should be more open minded
Euphoria is jungkook solo song.
Ha, I feel that one guy’s comment. I am a grouchy old woman, but BTS has changed my disposition.
Jungkkook the angel is literally flying !! World peace ✌️
Please react to jungkook singing on vlive
Please react to BTS - the Tiny Desk Performance!
Live singing with a live band in a small location. Just them having fun & showing off their vocals! It’s a must!
BTS is the biggest boyband in the world
This golden boy practice singing while running on treadmills. Like... yeah I wouldn't be able to even breathe while walking on treadmills...
Tq for the reaction for The Golden artist JUNGKOOK
Certainly but definitely react Jungkook the main vocalist in Bts and Jungkook the Acapella King.
Thanks to react to jungkook he js the mainvocalist of BTS he has alot amazing stuff as an artist
You are diminishing the song for yourself by anticipating that high note. You are trying in your head to hurry through the song. The whole song and performance are wonderful, enjoy it for all of itself, for what it is, euphoria.
You read someone's comment on the video from the chat that Jimin doesn't have someone to teach him to use his voice. I don't think it is true. This person thinks that member of biggest group can't find or afford a vocal coach? This is absurd. If you compare his live peformances from 2013 and now you see the clear progress and change in his voice. He embraced his unique tone and hones it as time goes. He is still young and he will continue develop his voice
I work on the talent side of the industry and Jimin's voice is stunning. I don't know who made that comment. it's as if they are talking about that video Jimin made in his pre-debut days when he was talking about his dream was to have a voice that touched people. He has accomplished that dream. Jimin, like all BTS members, is a STAR!
yes, that comment was so random to me, some people loves to victimize them bc of their past hardships but thanks to their own hard work now they can do everything they couldn't do back then and you can tell jimin's progress through the years, it's something to be proud of! he worked hard for it but people still have to say those things...
Maybe that person saw that documentary where they were on world tour and JK was trying to give advice to Jimin because Jimin felt himself that he was struggling with something in his singing. JK said something about not being able to go to a teacher about it. But I think that was to do with being on world tour. A while ago Suga went for some vocal coaching so they certainly are able to get it.
whoever made that comment for sure didn't listen all Jimin's solos and the latest "Film Out"
The almost disbandment is real.. The pressure was too much for them to handle but we are glad that they took a little break and got through that 💜
Jungkook said he was freezing to death singing up
they thought about disbanding because when they got populer the works and everything also increased for them. and its a fact that kpop ıdols works a lot. they were writing and producing their music and of course choreo. so it was quiete hard
That person in chat calling BTS too happy-go-lucky really bugged. 90% of BTS songs either have a main deep meaning of a second deep meaning or both
Jimin serendipity please
was reading the chat the whole time lol the person who said that BTS' music isnt dark enough for them listened to one song and already thinks this is the only genre BTS does... and if they knew ab Euphoria, the song actually has some underlying themes of sewerslide especially when you tie it to JK's story in the BU where he does jUmp off a building...
Everyone is on a different part of the journey it seems
please do react to Jungkook the main vocalist of BTS by Ida S. thank you
please make more BTS live performance reactions but with all of them together..
Can someone tell me what technique vocal that use by jungkookie to sing Euphoria? (Sorry, for my broke English)
BTS💜💜💜😚🇦🇷
Please do the evolution of jungkooks vocals by Ida s or main vocalist jungkook by Ida s… you’ll be surprised I guarantee it
check out House of Cards by BTS Live
They were almost kids in their 20s , life is being like a roller coaster for them, the success and the fame is sometimes overwhelming considering they never had a proper teenagers life...They probably miss a NORMAL LIFE sometimes
