Jungkook is the most well rounded in BTS

The argument

Jungkook is the best member of BTS because he is so multitalented. He is known for his singing ability since even before he debuted, and he appeared on the Korean show King of Masked Singer, where participants show off their amazing singing ability. Since some of his roles are lead dancer and sub-rapper, he is by default one of the best rappers and dancers in the group. Third, Jungkook has written both music and lyrics for several BTS songs, including his "My Time" from their newest album. Aside from his talents within BTS, Jungkook is also very athletic and artistic. He is known for his strength to the extent that he has nicknames like "muscle pig." Also, Jungkook has shown off his artistic abilities with drawings he has posted on social media and short films that he has created that tells the group's story. Jungkook's prowess as an all-rounder can be seen in his nickname "Golden Maknae," which RM gave him; "maknae" is a Korean term for the youngest member in a group, and "golden" refers to how Jungkook excels in his many talents. He has also been rated as the top all-round K-Pop idol, so he is the best all-rounder not only in BTS but also among all K-Pop groups. In short, Jungkook has achieved more overall prowess than his bandmates despite being the youngest member.

Premises

Counter-arguments

Jungkook may be a man of many talents, but he can also be irresponsible. This is evidenced by his failure to comply with social distancing measures during a rise in cases of COVID-19; he subsequently tested negative for the virus, but that does not mean that his actions were not incredibly risky. Jungkook cannot be the best member of BTS because of this mistake: he thoughtlessly put not only himself but also potentially his friends, family, and other group members in danger.

Rejecting the premises

[Rejecting P1] Being assigned the roles of lead dancer and sub-rapper does not make someone 'by default one of the best rappers and dancers in the group' — role allocation in a group reflects casting and balance across a lineup, not a ranking. The premise treats a job description as a measurement. [Rejecting P2] Athleticism, drawing and short films are not criteria for being the best member of a music group. Breadth across unrelated activities is being counted as though it were musical merit, and the 'top all-round K-Pop idol' rating is cited without saying who conducted it or on what basis — such rankings are typically fan-voted popularity polls. [Rejecting P3] The all-rounder standard is chosen rather than defended, and it is the one measure on which the argument's candidate wins. Competing positions in this debate rest on depth — songwriting and leadership, vocal or dance ability at the highest level — and the argument gives no reason to prefer range over excellence in a single discipline. [Rejecting C] The eighth position on this question, that all the members are equally valuable, is the natural reading of a group in which each member is credited with distinct strengths, and nothing in the premises rules it out.
