His voice is so heavenly”, “JK is literally singing his heart out, im crying”, “Jungkook’s voice really is something else. Wow. He truly has no limits as a singer” and “His sincerity when he covers a song is my favourite thing ever.”

Netizens react and find a connection between the cover and BTS' last performance

BTS fans also found the connection that this cover of Falling was released exactly two years after BTS' last live performance. On October 29, BTS held their final concert of the BTS World Tour Love Yourself: Speak Yourself. Seoul, South Korea, hosted the event. However, BTS has not mentioned anything about the connection, fans are currently only speculating it.

Harry Styles' album, Fine Line, featured Falling as his third single. The song reached No. 62 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the year it got released. The album was a commercial and critical success for the One Direction member, debuting at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.

This isn't the first time Jungkook has shocked BTS ARMY members with a solo performance. Jungkook has previously covered Adam Levine's Lost Stars, Justin Bieber's Nothing Like UsPurpose, and 2U, Charlie Puth's We Don't Talk Anymore, IU's Ending Scene, George's Look at Me, Lauv's Never Not and Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber's "10,000 Hours" on YouTube and SoundCloud.
