Until the very end, the BTS leader remained unaware as Jungkook skillfully altered his voice to converse with him.
BTS members love to play pranks. Be it ganging up on a particular person to splashing water during concerts or purposely leaving a member behind. Remember the time when V (Kim Taehyung) lost his bag and the group tried to prank him with rude comments? He sensed something was fishy but played along anyway. Well, the septet do not leave a single opportunity to pull each other’s legs and this time it was Jungkook and Taehyung who prank-called their leader RM aka Kim Namjoon during a live broadcast.
It appears Jungkook changed his voice to converse with the BTS leader and until the end, the latter didn’t realise it all. At one point, Jungkook even sings during the call. If Namjoon’s expression is anything to go by, he seemed quite awkward, even forcing a smile, but cheered for the caller. Footage of the incident is gaining massive traction on social media. Though Kim Namjoon missed recognising who the actual caller was, the ARMY claims it didn’t take them long to know it was the BTS maknae. “Jungkook changes his voice to prank call Kim Namjoon but ARMY still recognize him,” read the caption of the clip doing the rounds on Twitter.
Another video from the same broadcast features V repeating the prank by changing his voice. V appears to act sleepy, but this time the leader recognizes his team member. “Aren’t I supposed to act like Army?” asks V leaving audiences to erupt in laughter.

The reply section of the video is flooded with reactions from fans boosting their identifying skills. A user wrote, “When he said hello I just knew the owner of this voice and when he sang it was confirmed that he’s goigie (JK). It was so cute.”

It was just a couple of days ago when BTS celebrated their 10th anniversary. Jin and J-Hope who are currently enlisted in the army weren’t able to reach out to the fans but other members celebrated the major milestone by thanking and showing gratitude for their supporters online.
When it comes to RM’s solo activities, he has already released his full-length album Indigo. A couple of weeks ago, it was also officially announced that RM will serve as an ambassador for the Ministry of National Defense. Bighit Music confirmed the musician has joined as a public relation ambassador where he aims to promote the work and projects of the department.
