MY FIRST TIME HEARING | V of BTS - TINY DESK KOREA | REACTION 

I think what is most important to understand is that K-pop is an industry, NOT a genre. There is a HUGE misconception out there that so called K-pop music is all pop... it's NOT! We certainly don't call British music B-Pop. We need to stop putting music from other countries into a box. Rap is rap, R&B is R&B, Pop is Pop, regardless of the country the music is coming from. 💜

A lot of idols can't sing live and their voices are embarrassing, but Taehyung V has the best, most beautiful, and strongest voice. Не kills everyone. He's also a dancer and the king of fancams. He has the most viewed fancams in the history of K-Pop and also the most famous. He's a producer, model, and actor, and he can do... Everything....🔥💜👑🐯

V is definitely the R&B/Jazz/Soul crooner of the group. He loves old school Jazz... Sinatra all the way. 💜

It’s hard to imagine that this guy with such a gentle voice is now serving in the Korean special forces😊

Thanks for your reaction! V is the most unusual person I've met in KPOP. He releases non-commercial music, all his performances are live, V enjoys his work, gives peace to his listeners, and musicians, dancers and staff thank him for his kindness. He is a very handsome, talented and down to earth artist. He is now an elite SDT soldier. I literally listen to his album on repeat 💜

V is an old soul. He loves crooners 😂 His whole solo album is timeless. He also has his latest single Fri(end)s which has a live performance too if you want to check it out. RM (another BTS member) just released Come Back to Me which is an awesome piece of art cinematically and musically. 💜

This man could sing about rusted door hinges and I would listen!! Taehyung has a gorgeous voice and crazy range.

Expect the unexpected with BTS. From the group or as solos, you never know what you are going to get. R&B, Neo-soul, EDM, jazzy, hip hop, balllads, folk. The 'K' in Kpop stand for Korea! Just note that I am sure if you listened to other Kpop groups, you will very quickly notice the difference between them and BTS. Mainly their music and lyrics are far superior.💜

About Japan.. when you said Japanese are not listening to V.. I laughed out so loud. V's nickname is TaeTae (real name Taehyung).. and Japan is literally called "TAETAE LAND" 😅💜🤷🏻‍♀️

Thank you for checking out V. His music is amazing with his vocals and instruments. No need for bells and whistles pure artistry. Glad you enjoyed it. If you love his style and vocals checkout the rest of the album Layover totally no skip. Also watch his new song Fri(end) s for his amazing vocals and it's in English set in the UK. And his duet with UMI Wherever u r. As released end of last year an indie song. Both these songs charted on Billboard as did songs from Layover. His critically acclaimed MV and song Singularity and stigma his solos in BTS are not to be missed. And for a taste of jazz watch Le Jazz de V which he made for his fans. A total anomly within BTS and kpop. Glad you enjoyed his music. Hope you continue to check out V's music and songs. 💜

V KING OF VOCALS LIVE 🔥🔥 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❤❤❤❤

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 🥹❤️

V is probably the most musically inclined out of the group. He's got the voice along with the range, dabbles in Jazz/Bossanova, pop, rap, and more a few more genres, and he also plays multiple instruments. Not to mention the way he carries himself on stage and in public. His love for music overflows, and you can tell by the fact that he always wants members around him. Whether it's with BTS or with other band mates. His music and the music videos always have some sort of nuanced complexities that are pretty much unique to him. Making music with other people is a feeling I will never get over.

Expect the unexpected with BTS! Thank you for reacting to V! ( or we call him by his name ,Tae) he loves jazz so much and his solo album is all about it. 💜

Layover was such a perfect example of V's music! He did the music 🎶 which isn't considered popular music especially in SK. Bravo to V for putting out an album of music 🎶 that he wanted to do. I am proud of all 7 members doing projects as soloists that reflected their individual styles. We got 7 solo releases plus 2 more so far in 2024 and Jin is coming back. These guys gave us so many "gifts" with their music. We are so lucky ARMY 😊🫠

V's voice is unique and amazing, V is the most handsome man no 1 in the world, welcome the BTS journey,.. borahee

Also I absolutely LOVE the fact that many reactors say the same phrase when reacting to V: "THIS IS BABYMAKING MUSIC" 😂 Indeed it is!

BTS is so crazy bc just like you found out that Jungkook and V are so different, the other 5 members are just as different too😂 It still amazes me how all 7 are in the same group. There's a lot of personalities, talent, different vocal tones and styles there, and the fact they manage to create a perfect synergy is like a miracle. They are really special 💜

V is our lover of Jazz he play's saxophone and there's the band practice and at the end he's jamming with the band on the saxophone. There's also V with a traditional jazz band singing 2 classic jazz songs. Entitle Jazz de V. V has quite a big range and has solo's within BTS album just like all the members. These songs are from his Album Lay Over.

I think you really gonna love the video La jazz de V if you really wanna hear kim taehyung getting in to the jazz vibe ❤

One of V's idols is Bing Crosby. 😊

12:30 by the way, V is very loved in Japan and they even call him their prince. We call Japan TaeTaeland (his full name is Taehyung) 😅

The magical voice Kim Taehyung Bravo Bravo Bravo

I always Say... he's a Vampire. He's an old soul in a young body...My bias forever 💜 💜 🇩🇴 I miss him soo much.

You should watch Le Jazz de V if you want to see V doing some old school Jazz.

Layover is a jewel in the world of K Pop, I love this album because shows very well Taehyung and his talented as a singer. I hope one day after his MS he wants to make an album with his own songs because he is an amazing songwriter. Thanks for your reaction 💜

Taehyung is the one who has the widest vocal range in bts and is considered the jazz and r&b lover of bts, layover his album is my favourite and I love his voice. Please react to le jazz de V, singularity and stigma

😂 V and baby making music is well known 💜 I can definitely recommend V's solo song on a BTS album called Singularity, especially the live version that starts with him lying on a bed! That is definitely baby making music. Although, as is typical with BTS, the deep and meaningful lyrics are far from that topic! It would be great if you could react to the other 5 members' solo songs, see just how different they are, and then do BTS group songs to see how unbelievably amazing they are in bringing such different artists into a cohesive group.

RM Tiny desk please ( leader of bts) His name is Namjoon and he is the one we call Joon

Whats fun about these guys, they are all completely different from each other for their solos, but absolutely amazing when they are together as a group, its like a sampler appetizer when they are together you get a taste of everything and everything is amazing together, they love playing with all sorts of genres you never know what you are going to get! And with them each doing group and solo work no one is jealous of the other, they are each others biggest cheerleader

Yes, the hat should stay on 😂😂. Thank you so much for reacting to V's music!!💜 It was fun watching V in Tiny Desk again with you grooving and dimming the lights, just enjoying the good music and the performance 💜. The studio version of Slow Dancing had a flute solo instead of a sax. Pretty unique, right? You usually don't hear that in kpop, much less pop music, but V very much had distinct artistic choices in his album. I hope you have a chance to check out his other songs, even if you don't react to them. Thank you again for sharing your reaction 💜💜

Everyone in BTS is so unique. They can all be solo artists if they want to. I recommend RM Tiny Desk he is the leader and one of the rappers in BTS. BTS did a Tiny Desk as a group too.

And taehyung said who loves music they will like these song, he was not wrong i saw my neighbour they are not kpop fan or bts fan but they listen taehyung song and their family are too much into music.

V has always been unique his one live he did he brought his puppy tannie it was the cutest thing ever tannie looking around and wondering but stayed out of the way

As others have pointed out K-pop is an industry not a genre. BTS started out over 10 years ago as a hip-hop group but has evolved a musical profile that incorporates multiple genres from hard rap to pop and everything in between.

Thanks for your wonderful reaction.💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 V's voice is a marvel that transcends mere description. With its velvety tone, emotional resonance, and unparalleled depth, V's vocals possess a rare and captivating quality that enchants listeners from the very first note. His voice carries an undeniable warmth and richness, capable of conveying a myriad of emotions with stunning clarity and sincerity. What truly sets V's voice apart is its soulfulness. Each note he sings is imbued with raw emotion, whether it's the tender vulnerability of a ballad or the exuberant passion of an upbeat track. His ability to infuse every lyric with genuine feeling creates an intimate connection with listeners, drawing them into the world of the song and leaving a lasting impression on their hearts. Moreover, V's vocal range is truly impressive, allowing him to effortlessly navigate between smooth lows and soaring highs with impeccable control and precision. His distinct timbre adds a unique flavor to BTS's music, enriching every song with his unmistakable touch. Beyond technical prowess, V's voice possesses a magical quality that transcends mere musicality. It has the power to evoke nostalgia, spark joy, and stir the soul, leaving an indelible imprint on all who have the privilege of hearing it. Whether on stage or in the studio, V's voice is a testament to his artistry and passion, showcasing his boundless talent and leaving an enduring legacy in the world of music.

Yes,V has that "baby making" music down. Love it

I recommend you watch his live performance of Singularity...he is an amazing performer!!!

Love music? Love V! Enough said. Thanks for enjoying this. Hope you love the album too.

V soulfull voice really calming 💜💜💜💜

V is amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Every BTS member has their own unique flavor, and when it all comes together...🔥🔥🔥

👑 V es arte puro 🛐💚💜👏👏👏👏

OH DUDE, THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO WATCH LE JAZZ DE V SO YOU CAN KNOW HOW BEAUTIFUL V'S VOICE IS!!! I'll wait ❤🎉

If you love jazz I highly recommend to check lee jezz de V live peformances he cover 2 jazz songs I'm sure you'll like it💛

Taehyung é sensacional 🇧🇷

Love that you are enjoying their songs they have a huge discography. Each member is a super strong artist so you'll also love their solo work. And the group work is just magic.

Japan is nicknamed TaeTaeland (V's land) 🤭 . But the boys are from South korea idk if u know this already.

THAT'S WHY BTS IS THE BIGGEST AND THE BEST GROUP OF THE WHOLE WORLD , EVERY MEMBER IS INCREDIBLE TALENTED ,AS WRITERS, PRODUCERS, SINGERS, DANCERS, PERFORMERS, STORYTELLERS NOT ONLY THAT THEY ARE INCREDIBLE HUMAN BEINGS SO HUMBLES, THEY LOVE AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER LIKE REAL BROTHERS , THERE'S NO ENVY, JEALOUSY BETWEEN THEM AND THEIR LOVE AND LOYALTY FOR THEIR FANDOM (ARMY) IS INSANE. EVERY SINGLE ALBUM AS SOLOISTS IS A MASTERPIECE IN A DIFFERENT GENERE AND STYLE. Thank you for this reaction from a 54 very proud ARMY!💜💜💜

I love this as its Tae being Tae, sharing the music he loves with his ARMY, he is showing the younger generation that there is music than pop, you can see the joy he is getting from being with like minded musicians. He is a totally charming young man with an endearing personality, and an acknowledged beautiful face and smile. Waiting for his return from very difficult SDT force.

You should listen to Layover, V's entire album it's so good and arguably one of my favourite solo albums since solo era started

Time for the introduction to BTS by Taylor Mari. It's pretty long, but it's okay if you keep it all in one video and not split it into parts.

Thank you ! This BTS band is definitely INCREDIBLE ! You could also like them ! They're so clever, humble, multitalented and passionate ! 49yo french girl here ! I'd like to add that V is a hilarious human being ! I love watching this playful man who didn't even audition to be in BTS ! And Jungkook and V a so like brothers ! RM's last song which came out 7 days ago is BABY making music tooo in my opinion !!!!

Oh I can't wait till you dive deeper into BTS you'll be blown away by the diversity both as a group and as soloists. Each member has their own style and genre of music that's completely different from the others yet they manage to fit together perfectly and create beautiful meaningful songs in all genres as a group as well 💜

funny you commented on his casual fit, hes the king of suits and dressier styles 🤣💜

I loved your reaction and such a good analysis , I recommend: Singularity live in Tokyo, Stigma live, and Le Jazz de V, I think you might like it, 🤗🥰💜💜💜💋.

Yes tae is a jazzy boy. His vocals are smooth like honey 💜

The diversity is exactly what always keeps them current. There's always a song to fit your mood with these guys, anything from FU to babymaking music. 😁👍 (Btw, the way you call Jungkook "Joon" is actually the short name for one of the other group members, namely Kim Namjoon aka RM, so calling him Jungkook or JK would probably save you some very confused comments 😉) Also, Jeon (pronounced more like (to) Shun than Joon) is his surname. Korean names start with the family name and end with their personal/first name. 😁👍) 💜

Please watch the Tiny Desk for the entire BTS group. It's amazing! You will see and hear the group as a whole and also evaluate each member individually.

I enjoyed your reaction so much. V is an amazing artist. You are totally right saying that his voice is soulful. He has the widest vocal range in BTS. Also he really loves jazz and R&B. I recommend you to watch his live performance of Stigma

At them moment he's serving in the Military Police but will be back in June 2025. But we've just been told by their company that BTS as a whole have new song coming out in June which we realise will be for ARMY (fandom) for their 11th birthday. Usually they hold a Feista for their anniversary where they eat talk to us and get a little bit drunk. Clearly while doing their military service they can't do that this year but they've pre recorded a song for us.

I love how you said he looks like he really belongs there!!! It’s so true! Tae and jazz is just a match made in heaven especially when he’s performing with a live band & you can tell he truly appreciate music and the musicians that accompany him! I’d love to also see your reaction to Le Jazz de V and his appearance on IU’s Palette 💜

Thank you for your reaction, I love seeing people enjoying Taes work as much as me. He really does make music for music lovers.

Congratulations again, you have seen the second power of the seven powers of BTS

Every member of BTS has a different style to their solo work, and when they work together it's like you get a flavour of each! 💜👏 And BTS has many different songs from different genres. 😊

You right, maybe if people play more of Taehyung's (V) songs in countries like Korea and Japan the birth rate can increase lmao 😂

Clearly, 💜V💜 is extremely a talented singer. 😊 BTS FOREVER 2024-2025 💜

BTS members are from Korea! For Jungkook, you can call him JK, it's his nickname and easier for foreigners to pronounce.

Jungkook's full name is Jeon Jungkook (jeon is his surname)... so Jungkook is his first name. People often shorten it to JK

Thanks for reacting to it! I was wanting to listen to Layover again and You right on time

You probably have already heard but Jungkook is his first name and Jeon his last name.. I recommend using his nickname JK Vs name is Kim Taehyung with Kim being his last name You are right that music is totally Vs vibe he is amazing I liked your reaction

Thank u for ur reacting pls react more for Kim Taehyung.

Hi dear. 69yo ARMY(BTS fan) here.Eventually you'll need to react to "A Guide to BTS Members: The Bsngtan 7" by Taylor Mari. It's a long one but you might want to plan on it in the future. But anyway hurry back with more BTS please.

Thank you for checking this out. Looking forward to more.

Stunning performance

I think if you react to A guide to the 7 members of Bangtan by Taylor Mari. You will learn the names and see so of the talents and personalities of each member. You will see each is very different but very talented. You will also understand why the fan base called the ARMY are so protective of the guys. So when you say things that's not correct you will be checked immediately, Army means no harm just very protective. Welcome to BTS the rabbit hole is deep so enjoy.

Thank you for reacting to V and the BTS members ! Can't wait to see more of your reactions ! Indeed Jungkook and V are really different in their styles but you'll quickly discover that every single member is completely different. As a fanbase (called the ARMY), we often joke about how they literally have 7 different music styles/personalities/artistry in a single band and they make it work even better ! You'll really enjoy discovering them as they have, no lie, the widest range of music any artist have and hundreds of songs. That means, no matter what your genre is, you'll find songs you like and some you might enjoy less. Anyways, as much as medias like to put groups in a box, BTS is no typical "boyband" and even in the Kpop industry, they're totally different. BTS are pionniers in some way and have a totally different story. But most of all, they've been working very hard for a decade, literally starting from scratch in a company that was on the verge on bankruptcy only to have made this company one of the biggest economic sources in South Korea nowadays. They literally are the one who paved the way for Kpop artists outside of Korea. To make it short, there are 3 rappers and 4 singers. Before debuting, two of them were underground rappers and another two of them were dancers. And on top of being amazing rappers, singers and dancers ; BTS members write, produce, take part in the artistic concepts, music videos, dance choreographies, ideas... Everything basically, in collaboration with their company staff and artists. They're really on a lane of their own and I think you'll see that for yourself when you react to more. Plus, they have one of the strongest bond with their fans and they just reciprocate all the love they receive from us and even more ! Also, I think you should definitely react to the different fan-made guides about BTS. They'll put you on many informations about the group, the members, how they work and everything basically. Because above learning about their group history, these guides make you understand their music a lot more in some way. That was my case when I first became a fan (and I'm sure I'm not the only one). I guess learning about the background of each member, their background as a group and the way they work for their craft, makes you understand the music (and the artistry) in a much more complete way. One of the most complete (and amazingly made) guide is : "A Guide to BTS Members: The Bangtan 7" (by Taylor Mari). Hope you'll react to it ! In any case, enjoy the journey !! 🤍

Once again, kpop is not a genre but a industry. A lot of people have a misconception of that. Anyways, that's for the reaction! Also, something to keep in mind is that army (BTS' fandom name) likes BTS and they are part of kpop in some way (they actually go beyond that for many reasons but that's on another conversation) but that doesn't mean we like the whole industry. Many don't even listen to kpop and just BTS, so just to keep in mind that some may find uncomfortable to be called kpop fans when they are not unless they are multis (fans of many kpop artists).

Seeing all the silver ARMYs popping up in here makes my heart warm! I’m not quite there yet - 40 year old ARMY here lol - but I love seeing our diverse fanbase represented! You’ll find so many different genres and styles and stories within the discography. All the guys have their own distinct styles and they’ve really taken the last couple of years to explore their individual colors. It’s been awesome to watch them grow! Our V (Taehyung) is such a unique guy - a little eccentric, but super charming. He adores jazz music and really let that love come through in his solo album. You can tell here how much he adores and respects the musicians here and lets them shine. Subbed so I can keep watching your BTS journey! Welcome and borahae!

This whole album reminds me of the 70s' r&b of my high school years.

Lovely voice

V Is a MASTERPIECE!

I am a big fan of Tiny Desk and this mini concert top my list. It's definitely a neo-soul - RnB jazz influence album. It's so V! I am happy he went full with is favorite genre for this debut album

love your reaction, as a jazz lover I love this tiny desk performance so much

Can't wait to see you go through all the members. Next RM "Come Back to Me"? You can call Jungkook, JK. It's a lot easier. 😀💜

All album LAYOVER is a marterpiece... I love it!!!!💟💜🙋‍♀️

you should react to festa 2021 live, its similar to this but with all of bts, around 8 songs and all are AMAZING

Thanks for trying out the guys of BTS. Open mindedness is always nice to see. 😊 One hint - Jungkook's full given name is in fact Jungkook. His family name is Jeon. (So, nobody calls him Jung.) In Korea, family is greatly emphasized, so everyone introduces themselves in daily life with their family name first, then their given name. So I would introduce myself: "Hello, I'm Sealana Angela" if I were Korean. You may see in the comments that people call V "Kim Taehyung." Kim is his family name (what we refer to as last name) and V's given name is Taehyung. Pronunciation: Taehyung rhymes with "Pay-Young" and Jungkook rhymes with "Sung-Cook"

next one should be Jimin💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 and Jin💜💜💜💜💜 of course check out The Truth Untold where all 4 BTS vocalists are together💜

Pls! reaction next to V's fri(end)s mv...stigma live...

KPop, which is an industry and not a genre.💜

Спасибо вам за реакцию, приятно видеть что вы восхищаетесь нашими парнями, восхищения на Тэхёна ( V) 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍💜💜💜💜💜💜🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Hello from Silver Army at 80 👵🏼...... I love love your enthusiasm and joy to this most awesome tiny desk performance it most certainly mirrors my feel to it🫶💜

King v

💜🇧🇷💜V has that old soul beautiful personality and his voice is just so good 💜💜thanks

Im ot7.. but my first bias is V.. and i feel so proud whenever someone apreciating his voice.. and they like his songs.. And still u have 5 more member to check out.. i bet next time u will more amaze how they r all can be a soloist but still stay together as a grp..

All the members of BTS have unique artistic expressions in their solo projects. That's also why the combination of these individualities in the whole that is BTS really is a singularity in k-pop, to the point that they don't fit the shoe, really... Side note: Saying a Korean is Japanese is like telling an Irish he is English, although the socio-demographic reference about natality rates would apply. I agree with you, though, that V's music and voice possess an undeniable sensuality ;)

I think you need to reevaluate your opinion of Korean music. Jungkook and V are members of a group of creators, artists, and musicians. It’s clear you have many preconceived notions about KPop, which is an industry and not a genre. You will find bands that fit your stereotypes, just like there are more “manufactured” US groups. But, you will also find honest musicians who happen to be Korean and in a boy band. Korea and Japan are different countries. I hope you both read the comments and listen to our guys without preconceived notions. Good luck on your journey.

i don’t have to read the lyrics all i do is close my eyes and feel the vibe of the song and walla im in heaven 😊 his voice is so calming so relaxing 💜💜💜💜

Army in the area 🙋🏻‍♀️🥰💜🇧🇷
