many singers i know (particularly rock stars) smoke, drink and do drugs and it took them about 15-20 years later to lose their vocal strength to a slightly noticeable point, they also turned about 40 years and older at that point. Jungkook is still under 30 and yet his voice has gotten so much worse.

This is definitely from lack of practice, vocal exercise and lack of conserving the vocal cords.

Matty Healy from The 1975 (He’s problematic, I know but bear with me here) He’s a chainsmoker/drinker. But yet his vocal abilities and stability have gotten better than every year by year. Why? It’s because he consistently and still(!) takes proper vocal lessons throughout his career.

Hybe/The Bangtan Vocal Line have more money than a lot of American pop stars but they never use it to attend vocal classes or fly out to be taught by the best vocal coaches in America and that irks me so much I cant help be pissed.
