“BTS have started a new Era with the release of their "BE Album", and as with every era, there are new changes, whether it be hairstyles or fashion, there is always something new. The most significant change would be the color of the members microphones. BTS have different colored microphones that represent their personalities. The colors have changed over the years while some still remain the same. Members who have changed their microphone are Jin, RM, j-hope and Jungkook. V has remained with his green mic while SUGA keeps his black mic. Over the years, BTS has become known for more than just their incredible music and mesmerizing performances. From their fashion choices to subtle details in their concerts, every element has meaning, and this includes something as specific as the microphones they use. BTS made a significant change that has fans abuzz with excitement and speculation: the introduction of new custom color microphones for their live performances. These new mics not only mark a change in aesthetics but also symbolize a fresh chapter in the group's journey. For both BTS and ARMY, these color changes represent growth, evolution, and the ongoing bond between the members and their fans.
Suga and V have maintained their color for their microphones. These new microphones are customized by Crystal Glowe a South Korean company and embedded with Swarovski crystals.

For the new mics; RM has 2 mics Silver & Black with rainbow crystals from his Blue one, Jin’s is White with 3 tiny pink butterflies from his Pink one, Suga’s remains Black, J-Hope’s remains Red, Jimin’s is Orange from his Gold one, V’s is Green with no crystals and Jungkook’s is purple with rainbow crystals from his Pure Purple one. The new mics were first seen on Jimmy Fallon’s BTSWEEK and continued to Map of the Soul ON:E concert, on to all other performances for the rest of 2020.
The new mics are brighter, vibrant and dazzling, a great representation of the beautiful things yet to come. They represent growth, adventure and beautiful music. Just like the microphones have evolved over the years, so have BTS members’ characters, thoughts, goals and personalities, so I think these new bolder shinier colored microphones fit perfectly with where they are now and where they hope to be. Who knows, maybe this is the last time they will be changing their mic colors or they will do so again in future, either way, we love the new bold looks.

Microphones might seem like a small aspect of a live performance, but for BTS, they hold deep personal meaning. The members have been using custom microphones for years, with each member selecting a color that reflects their personality, music style, or even personal growth. These microphones became an extension of their identities on stage, adding a personal touch to their dynamic and emotional performances. One of the most famous examples of this is Jin's iconic pink microphone. The pink mic was synonymous with Jin’s fun and playful personality and was a staple during some of BTS’s most significant moments on stage. Similarly, Suga’s matte black microphone reflected his understated, introspective style, while RM’s blue mic symbolized his calm, cool demeanor as the group’s leader.
In a 2020 interview with Esquire, RM explained that these microphones were "not just equipment but something that carries a lot of emotion," hinting at how much the group invested in these personalized tools. Each color held a connection to the member’s personal identity and journey, making the microphones more than just props for singing—they became symbols of their evolution. BTS fans were quick to notice that the group had swapped their old custom microphones for brand new ones during their most recent performances.
This change did not go unnoticed, with ARMY immediately flooding social media to discuss what the new microphones could mean for the group. The new colors were striking, with each member selecting a fresh shade that appeared to signal a new chapter in their careers.
The switch to new microphones doesn’t just represent aesthetic choices—it signifies a new era for BTS. Over the years, BTS has been known for their ability to reinvent themselves while staying true to their roots. This microphone change reflects the group’s ongoing evolution as artists and individuals, and it mirrors the fresh directions they’re taking with their music and their identities. The new colors mark a departure from the past eras of BTS, which were filled with massive global success and personal milestones.
While those accomplishments are still celebrated, the new microphones signal the group’s desire to keep growing, both musically and personally. The members are entering a period of exploration, with some members preparing for solo projects, others facing military enlistment, and the group as a whole working on continuing their global domination.
These new microphones also embody the maturity and introspection that has defined BTS’s recent work. Their albums Map of the Soul: 7 and BE delved deep into themes of identity, self-reflection, and mental health, and the change in microphones can be seen as a visual representation of the group’s evolving journey.
Each member is finding their own way to express themselves, both within the group and as individuals, and the microphones reflect this growth.
As with anything related to BTS, ARMY has passionately embraced the microphone change, taking to social media to share their interpretations of what the new colors could mean. Some fans have speculated that the new microphones represent BTS’s upcoming solo ventures and that the colors hint at the themes and emotions they will explore in their individual projects. Others have focused on the emotional connection between BTS and ARMY, suggesting that the microphones are a way for the group to communicate their love and gratitude to their fans. Many ARMY members have pointed out that the color purple, chosen by Suga, is particularly significant, as it’s a color that BTS has associated with their deep bond with ARMY.
Fans have been quick to express their excitement about what the new microphones mean for the group’s future, with Twitter and fan forums filled with theories and discussions about the symbolism behind the change. While the pink, gold, and blue microphones of the past will always hold special memories, ARMY is eager to see what this new chapter holds for BTS.
BTS’s decision to switch to new microphones is not just a stylistic change—it’s a representation of their continuous evolution as artists and individuals. The new colors signal the start of a fresh chapter for the group, one filled with new challenges, growth, and exciting projects.
As they continue to break records and push boundaries, BTS remains committed to their fans, using every element of their performances—including their microphones—to convey their love and appreciation.
For ARMY, the new microphones are yet another reminder that BTS is a group that never stops growing. Just as the group has transformed over the years, so too have their tools of expression. These new microphones represent both the journey they’ve been on and the exciting path that lies ahead. As BTS embarks on this next chapter, ARMY will be there every step of the way, eager to see what’s next for the global superstars.
