Once again, ARMY prove just how united they are after a post recently went viral and caught the attention of ARMY and various K-Pop fandoms worldwide.
A fan of the internationally famous boy group posted on reddit asking what and how exactly the voices of each BTS member sounded like. The user wrote “Hello. I am a deaf baby ARMY who joined towards the end of the PTD era, and I’m wondering how their voices sound like when they sing and rap. Please, if someone could explain. I would really appreciate it. Thank you! I love the boys so much.”
While the post was made almost two years ago, the most popular comments describing the voices of each BTS member went viral again, for all the right reasons, on Instagram. See the comment that (honestly) perfectly describes each of the members’ vocals below!
“RM sounds like a clay pot that was recently made, still wet, and not fired yet. Really earthy. Like the smell after it rains. He raps and sings in a pretty deep/low voice usually. His rap sounds super authoritative, like he knows he’s in charge, but his singing is really delicate and sweet, like he’s singing to a little niece sitting in his lap.”
“Jin sounds like a big bubble, super clear and iridescent. Like on the old Cinderalla cartoon when she is washing the floor and the bubbles are flying everywhere and reflecting everything. It’s very smooth and clear, like plastic or hardened acrylic. Jin usually sings pretty high and his parts tend to act like sprinkles on a cake.”
“Suga sounds like a roaring lion if you translate that into words. Super confident, sometimes very aggressive, like bullets flying at you. He raps and sings in a lower voice, but not as low as Joonie. His raps sound super straight, like a laser beam. Suga often sounds like he is at the edge of insanity, in a Heath-Ledger-as-Joker sort of way.”
“j-hope sounds like an image of a bright, almost neon rainbow floating in a pitch black sky with stars. Or sometimes like a hand reaching out and squeezing your heart. If Suga’s raps are straight, j-hope’s raps are a wavy line, lots of tonal changes and he takes a more winding path with the words as opposed to spitting them out. His singing is always really passionate and powerful, like someone yelling out with strong emotions, maybe happiness or maybe grief.”
“Jimin sounds like a shard of a broken mirror, sharp and clear and reflective, piercing through other sounds. Jimin is like the frosting on the cake. Very sweet and used to make things look beautiful. Jimin tends to sing pretty high, but some songs he goes into his lower register that is more delicate and less piercing, like tall grass next to a river. His voice is always very comforting, like a friend giving you a hug after a hard day.”
“V sounds like flowing melted milk chocolate. Smooth, thick, and full. He would be the gooey filling between the cake layers, or a ganache poured over the top. I just keep feeling it as warm and melty. And classy. Fancy. Vintage fancy, like Leo meme from Great Gatsby. He can sing really low, but his can also crank it up to sing some crazy high parts. He always sounds like he’s letting you in on his secret feelings.”
“Jungkook sounds like a fresh crayon that is smooth and shiny and bright. The kind you don’t want to color with because it’s so beautiful the way it is. He sounds silky and shiny. Like honey, smooth, sweet, clear, even the amber color. He tends to sing higher most of the time and goes off on crazy ad libs. Jungkook is the actual cake in this vocal line dessert. The perfect density, but the perfect amount of fluff. Not too sweet, but the perfect amount of sweetness for a cake.”
Each member feels perfectly summarized and the description hits the nail on the head, don’t you think?
The original poster and reddit community were overjoyed by the various answers and only had high praise for the descriptions of each member. See what fans had to say about the post down below!
In other news, BTS made history yet again as being as the first group in history to surpass 40 Billion views on Spotify! Member Jimin’s “Who” is dominating Spotify’s Daily Top Songs and Global Charts for four consecutive days as well. Let’s aim for a whole week (seven days a week!).
