K-pop, a genre of music that originated from South Korea, has taken the world by storm, with bands like BTS at the forefront of this international craze. Perhaps the most formidable asset of BTS is the individual members’ versatility and talent which extend far beyond the group’s dynamics. One such manifestation of this talent was seen when one of the BTS members collaborated with the global music sensation, Charlie Puth.
Charlie Puth is a renowned American singer, songwriter, and record producer best known for his catchy tune and heartfelt lyrics. When news broke out that he was collaborating with a member of BTS, the global fan community, better known as the ARMY, eagerly awaited the result of this intriguing blend of Western pop and K-pop styles.
To clear the suspense, it was Jeon Jung-kook, commonly known as Jungkook, of BTS who collaborated with Charlie Puth. Jungkook is the youngest member of the band, popularly known as the ‘Golden Maknae’ owing to his diverse skill set that includes singing, dancing, and songwriting.
The collaboration song between Jungkook and Charlie Puth was not named “Left and Right,” but it was actually “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” a heartfelt track that was originally performed by Charlie Puth and Selena Gomez. The version by Jungkook and Charlie Puth was a stellar example of how music can be a universal language, transcending borders and language barriers.
The cover of “We Don’t Talk Anymore” by Jungkook was first posted on the official BTS Twitter account, where it attracted immediate attention and praise. Later, the duo performed together at the MBC Plus X Genie Music Awards in 2018, causing a significant stir in the global music scene. Although not hitting the Hot 100 Top 40, it still was a memorable collaborative set that resonated with the audiences and showcased the dynamic blend of Eastern and Western music styles.
It’s no surprise that BTS’s global reach continues to widen over time, and their collaborations with global music icons like Charlie Puth only confirm their continuous expansion and influence in the global music scene.
Jadi, jawabannya apa? Anggota BTS yang berkolaborasi dengan Charlie Puth adalah Jungkook, dan mereka berdua menghasilkan versi sendiri dari lagu “We Don’t Talk Anymore,” bukan “Left and Right.”
