Newsnomics AJAY ANGELINA reporter | South Korean, K-pop singer IU and BTS star Jungkook both have
been featured on the American magazine Rolling Stone’s list of ‘The 200 Greatest Singers of All Time’.
IU ranked at the 135th position while BTS's youngest member Jungkook ranked to 191st.
The American magazine wrote, "Keep in mind that this is the Greatest Singers list, not the Greatest Voices list… In all cases, what mattered most to us was originality, influence, the depth of an artist’s catalog, and the
breadth of their musical legacy."
Rolling Stone explained, "Jungkook is the youngest member of BTS, and boasts a wide range of talents while engaging in various activities."
On the other hand, IU is “one of the most highly regarded vocalists in the Korean music scene since the hit
song Good Day in 2010.”
This is a first time that South Korean artist has been included in the ranking of an American magazine.
