Long thread about Jungkook’s beautiful voice, in which his voice is being recognised for its special colour and unique quality.
1) Jungkook’s unique sound:
Kim Yoon-Ha, KMA music critic, stated that she is highly sensitive when it comes to a singer’s voice colour. She highlighted Jungkook’s unique sound stating that it isn’t a sound often heard in the kpop scene.

To establish whether a singer has an unique sound, a few important factors need to be taken into account. It’s the way a singer sings a song, and if that singer is recognisable because of their voice and own singing style.
One recent example would have to be that Coca Cola ad, despite us not knowing BTS vocal line would sing there. We immediately picked out it was Jungkook’s voice.
Even back in 2016 during Masked Singer, no one knew Jungkook would appear. Yet the minute he sang the first line, all fans knew it was Jungkook because of his voice. He is a recognisable singer that can be easily picked out.
The panel of experts reacted surprised to Jungkook’s voice on masked singer. They felt that his voice had a mysterious sound to it, an unusual sound for an idol and wondered how such a voice could exist.
A singer is highlighted as an unique singer if they sing songs differently than others in a recognisable matter. Looking at Jungkook’s covers, each cover also has that distinct Jungkook-esque sound that no other singer has.
It’s difficult to do a cover, make it fit the genre but also make it your own. Yet Jungkook sings all his covers in a completely different way, while also making it fit into the genre. It portrays Jungkook’s identity as a singer.
Grammy committee member, Lim Hyung Joo, highlighted that when Jungkook sings BTS songs as well as others songs, he continues to maintain his own style of voice. He called Jungkook a special vocalist who creates his own definition of what it means to sing well.
Lastly, Jungkook is labelled as a special vocalist who can sing songs in his own way. But that being said he is also the type of singer that can easily blend in with other vocalists to make a song sound as one whole, making it sound clean.
2) Jungkook’s bright, soft and warm voice tone:
His voice is the kind of tone that makes a listener immediately feel peaceful and comforted. A lot of people, but even BTS members themselves stated that Jungkook’s voice sounds like heaven. https://twitter.com/bts_twt/status/967811568388915200

Jungkook uses his air in such a way that causes his voice to sound all soft and nice, rather than toneless and flat. That way his voice and the way he uses it is so pleasant to the ears.
3) Jungkook’s smooth, honey-like quality:
His voice carries a reoccurring element and that is that it can make itself so smooth and as sweet as honey.

One of the reasons why you almost can’t detect a range switch crack whenever he transitions in different registers.
4) Jungkook’s sentimental voice:
Jungkook himself once said that to him emotions are important. No matter how well a person sings or how good a voice is, emotions are a must for him. It really shows cause he is very well known for his emotional voice.

Because of Jungkook’s understanding in emotion, it’s one of the major reasons why music critics and producers have highlighted him often stating that he can bring a listener into a story and bring the song to life.
Producer Jinbo especially highlighted him as a singer who impressed him a lot. Whether it be for his voice, or his ability to absorb the producer’s view and bringing it to life with the right emotions.
5) Jungkook’s breath:
Jungkook has the quality and ability to create this unique sound through his breath. He takes in air and combines it well with the articulation of words. It creates this unique sound that’s refreshing to hear.

Jungkook uses his breath to emphasise various emotions. Sometimes the more breathiness there is in Jungkook’s voice, the more likely you will hear a saddened tone.
6) Jungkook’s variety, being a vocal chameleon:
Jungkook is mostly known to fit the classical pop sounds, yet whenever he explores other genres, the reaction is massive causing people to wonder how he is able to sing every genre.

Even listening to the different remixes of Dynamite, Jungkook adapted his voice. He sounded more soft and breathy in the Slow Jam Remix, while he sounded more powerful and raspy in the regular Dynamite version.
There are a lot of singers with a good voice who only stick to mostly one genre and style. Yet Jungkook explores all kinds of genres. He has this quality where he is able to change his voice (and colour). Here are a few examples.
Pop:
Disco pop:
R&B:
EDM:
Rock:
Jazz:
Ballad:
Opera:
Jungkook is the epitome of what it means to be a singer’s full package. He has it all from voice colour, skills, technique and versatility.
