Following the backlash toward Jin, V, and Jimin’s “Spring Day” stage at Jin’s encore concert in Seoul, attention has shifted toward Jungkook’s strong vocals and consistent live delivery.

Clips of Jungkook performing have begun circulating widely across social media, with many commending his stable tone and control even during demanding songs. Fans claimed that his voice often carries BTS’s vocal lines — including ad-libs, harmonies, and background parts — and that his skill stands out even more now in comparison to the group’s other members.

Others have drawn a clear contrast between Jungkook’s performances and those of his bandmates, with many claiming that he is “the only one who can sing live” in BTS.

Kinda understand now why Jungkook is the most popular in that group…cause he's the only one who can sing https://t.co/mKQVQ6KYWo

Some netizens expressed frustration, suggesting that while Jungkook continues to show dedication to his craft, the other members appear less vocally prepared despite their long experience in the industry.

So this is how BTS without jungkook sounds. It's unfair to jungkook why the other members don't put an effort after 10 years. They are not roookies. https://t.co/4KuX3prIQo

This man carries the vocals for the whole group,backgrounds, ad-libs, everything. If BTS ever released a song without Jungkook for “experimental” purposes, it’d be funny to see who could handle his parts.pic.twitter.com/BJrzACnzQt https://t.co/nspfKb0sQf
