BTS Unit Songs: Three Tracks to Meet All Seven Members

Start with “Friends” for Jimin and V, “Respect” for RM and SUGA, and “Jamais Vu” for Jin, j-hope and Jung Kook. Those three unit songs cover all seven BTS members in smaller combinations. All three appear on MAP OF THE SOUL : 7, so you can keep the listening route together.

Seven names can feel like homework when all you wanted was another good song. A unit track gives you fewer voices to follow at once. You can notice a handover, replay it, and gradually connect a name to what you hear.

“Friends”: begin with Jimin and V

“Friends” is the English title of “친구” (chingu, Korean for “friend”). The official 2020 FESTA unit conversation identifies its performers as V and Jimin. That is a firmer starting point than a fan upload whose title calls an edited compilation an official music video.

For your first listen, keep just those two names in mind. Notice the changes between their deliveries before trying to label every second. Then watch their official conversation after the article if you want the faces and names beside the voices.

“Respect”: meet RM and SUGA as a pair

The official FESTA title for “Respect” names RM and SUGA. Try this after “Friends” to change the combination completely. Follow how the two performers alternate, and give yourself permission to enjoy the exchange before learning every word.

If you already know RM’s “Intro : Persona,” this offers a useful solo-versus-unit comparison. BIGHIT’s official PERSONA album notes explicitly call that introduction an RM solo. The question changes from “What does one performer do with the track?” to “What happens when these two share it?”

“Jamais Vu”: a trio that crosses the usual lines

Jin, j-hope and Jung Kook perform “Jamais Vu.” BIGHIT names the trio in the MAP OF THE SOUL : PERSONA album description, where the song first appeared before its inclusion on 7. The official FESTA conversation confirms the same three names.

This is a useful reminder that a BTS unit does not have to be the entire rap line or the entire vocal line. Start by identifying the combination. You can investigate the individual parts after the song becomes familiar, rather than treating a role label as a complete description of someone’s voice.

Why does the streaming page still say BTS?

Because these recordings are part of BTS releases. The release artist and the performers on a particular track are different pieces of information. Seeing “BTS” beside “Friends” does not mean all seven members must sing on it, and hearing fewer members does not automatically make it a separately released solo album.

For this exercise, use the official unit titles and album notes to establish the lineup. Songwriting credits are worth exploring too, but a writer’s name alone is not a promise that you will hear that person performing the recording.

Return to our BTS member guide when you want all seven names together. If you came through the current album instead, our ARIRANG first-listen route offers a separate next step. The older unit songs here are chosen to make the group easier to follow, not to replace that current release guide.
