V of BTS (BTS) shone with his presence as a standout vocalist on the 'ARIRANG' (Arirang) album.

Vogue US selected BTS's 'ARIRANG' as one of the best albums of 2026, highlighting V's vocals as the only member singled out for praise. In its overall evaluation of the album, it specifically pointed to a particular vocal part in the track 'NORMAL'.

Citing reasons for its selection, Vogue US stated, "Whatever happens with the Grammys—BTS released one of the best albums this year." It further analyzed, "It wasn't necessarily required that BTS's first comeback after military service be special. Returning with a style similar to their previous popular and radio-friendly hits would have been enough, yet they returned to the roots of early rap and hip-hop. On that foundation, they added everything they had learned about how to utilize their own voices."

Vogue US noted, "'ARIRANG' is filled with many elements worth loving," and highlighted V's vocals on the track 'NORMAL': "The part where V sings 'Got me feelin' things unusual' sticks in the mind powerfully."

The New York Times also reviewed the 'ARIRANG' album, evaluating that among the vocal members, "V's voice is the most passionate and powerful." In a recent interview, Lea Salonga replied, "V is the member with the most captivating vocal ability," adding, "V possesses a warm tone beyond mere skill. It is particularly interesting when he handles high notes; even Broadway professionals did not expect a baritone to sing a tenor line."
