Jungkook of BTS stunned fans by releasing a rendition of Falling. The song was initially performed by Harry Styles as part of his 2019 album Fine Line. Jeon Boo Yeon, HYBE’s Studio engineer, recorded and mixed the song, which was posted on YouTube. It rapidly piqued followers’ interest, and within an hour, the video had topped two million views on the platform.
J-Hope, another member of BTS, was taken aback by Jungkook’s version of Falling. The rapper took to Weverse and asked Jungkook when he was able to record the song. He also gave his opinion on the song. “When did you make this (song)… it’s wonderful,” J-Hope said, according to the BTS fan account @BTStranslation_.
Fans have also showered the song with affection. A fan remarked, “Jungkook’s voice is what falling in love feels like.” “Jungkook’s cover of Harry Styles’ Falling was the cover we never knew we needed,” said another.
Some others were also surprised to learn that his rendition of Falling was released exactly two years after BTS’ final in-person concert. On October 29, BTS held their final concert of the BTS World Tour Love Yourself: Speak Yourself. It was held in Seoul, South Korea.
“Jungkook uploaded a rendition of ‘falling’ by Harry Styles, and today also marks 2 years since BTS’s final live concert before the epidemic,” a fan said.
BTS has planned a Map of the Soul tour for 2020. However, owing to the epidemic, it was postponed and then cancelled. BTS has begun organising internet concerts. The most recent one, Permission to Dance on Stage, took place on Sunday. Meanwhile, this isn’t the first time Jungkook has recorded renditions of popular songs from around the world. Previously, he covered Adam Levine’s Lost Stars, Justin Bieber’s Nothing Like Us and Purpose, Charlie Puth’s We Don’t Talk Anymore, Lauv’s Never Not, and Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber’s 10,000 Hours.
