@rob
Another random question
Based on all the heights you've seen
What height range is tall in your opinion?
Editor Rob
From my perspective, 6ft looks tall and for many countries is what you could say falls in the tall range.
Alphaheight said on 18/Mar/23
@Rob
It's a random question, but do you think the taller the person the more he/she shrinks throughout the day
Like someone who is 5'11.25 in the morning ends up 5'10.25 before bed
While someone who is 6'3.5 in the morning ends up 6'2 flat before bed
And someone who is like an NBA player at the height of 6'8 in the morning ends up 6'6 or maybe even 6'5 or close to it before bed?
Editor Rob
I believe there has to be some correlation depending on spinal length. Also as people age their morning-evening shrinkage should decrease a bit as the discs themselves lose a little bit of thickness.

@rob
Are you planing any time soon to list the rest of members?
Editor Rob
If I decide on some heights for them.
Pseudo said on 4/Jan/23
I think Jim deserves a quarter inch upgrade, he often pulls the weak 5’10 and he rarely wears thicker shoes unlike his band mates which give him an inherent disadvantage.

5’9.5 for Jin 👍
DJ C said on 27/Dec/22
This seems alright for him. I think he's in the 175.5-1.77 range.

RM: 179.5-181
Jin:175.5-177
Suga:171-172
Hobi:172-173
V:174-175
Jimin:169-170
Kookie:172-173
Agust D: 6'3

@UEDO

Can’t see RM at the full 5’11, so Jin’s listing still checks out.
UEDO said on 12/Dec/22

If you watch the first few minutes of the video, I think Jin looks pretty close to RM barefoot. I cannot see a full 2 inch difference. I think Jin needs an upgrade to 5'9 1/2.

V or Jungkook should get a page, Rob. If Jin is listed at 5’9 1/4 then give V 5’9 and Jungkook 5’8 1/4- 5’8 1/2

JJV2 said on 18/Sep/22
I wonder when will we get a page for V and jk
JJV2 said on 12/Sep/22
@bgh
5'8.25 Seems about accurate
I don't know but i never get the close to 5'9 vibe from Jk so 5'8.5 is realy arguable as you mentioned
I would go to say he is 5'8.1/8 as rob but realy an 8th of an inch is not worth debating
Though the 5'8.5 i see it possible for V
JJV2 said on 11/Sep/22
@Malcolm oliver
Yeah and the issue is that they are stuborn as hell😂
They act as if BTS are their saveors or something
and they are the most perfect ones on earth as if they are deffending there religon
I mean having a cleb crush is ok but the army of bts is something else
bgh said on 11/Sep/22
@JJV2

Well he does look short compared to Charlie Puth who is listed 5’10 on Google, same as in this website. He also visibly looks shorter than V, but V is a fan of insoles and is the master of posting. I think Jungkook is 5’8.25, 5’8.5 arguable.
JJV2 said on 10/Sep/22
@bgh
Is this true?
Like he is the only one the people thought he was shorter than hs claim?
Doesn't this mean he is a bit far from his claimed height?
Like the defference between his actual height and his claimed height is the biggest out of all the members for people to notice it out of all the members?
bgh said on 10/Sep/22
@chad michaels
Some spectaculated Jungkook to be shorter than his listed height, but that’s about it
Malcolm Oliver said on 9/Sep/22
@chad michaels
It’s because this site is so obscure (growing for sure though) and also Armys make up a hell of a population. If we’re talking numbers, it’s us against a vast majority who will claim what BTS claims. Tough battle.
chad michaels said on 9/Sep/22
it’s kinda funny how we’re the only ones to call out their real heights lol

Jk Seems exactly 5'8 next to RM and compaired to ryan

@7272
Is it me or is RM 1.5 inches taller than Jk when slouching?
V indeed is the master of the posing

Most perfect lidting
bgh said on 5/Sep/22
Jimin - 169.5
Suga - 170
J-Hope 172.5 (173)
Jungkook 173.5 (174)
V 175.5 (I could honestly see him between 5’9 and 5’9 1/4)
Jin 176.5
RM 180
JJV2 said on 4/Sep/22
@superB
Yeah exactly
@Malcolm oliver
The photo of Jk and j_hope
J_hope is a bit slouching but as you said Jk pulls the 5'8 and J_hope a weak one
To me personaly Jk is exactly 173cm but not gonna argue on a fraction
@Malcolm
My friend has exactly the same propotions as jin and the same height at 176cm so i find it hard to guess a defferent height for him
V half inch shorter than jin whatever his height but 5'9 flat Seems accurate
Rm has a tallish frame so that makes it harder to guess him
But put sock insoles in mind guys
Really you don't know what these celeb are ready to do for some extra cms
Plus they don't give a lot about 1_2cm at most which is the range that we are argueing about
Just saying to put every possible way to increase height in mind
The listings though are starting to make sence

Rob, I think you should put Kris Wu, PSY, IU, RM, and Jin in a “K-Pop idol” category.
Malcolm Oliver said on 3/Sep/22
Jimin 169.5
Suga 170
J-Hope 172.5
JK 173.5 (174)
V 175 (176)
Jin 176 (176.5)
RM 180

Jin has a chance for 5’9.5. V for 5’9.25 to a lesser extent. JK for 5’8.5 to a lesser extent.

Final.
Malcolm Oliver said on 3/Sep/22
@superB
Solid list. Can’t argue with that.

I feel like with heights, you have to see it in ranges to get a feel for where they might “exactly” measure. As I’ve mentioned, there exists a low measurement and a high measurement that one can pull off. Because there is a low and a high, there has to be a middle measurement to counterbalance these two.
Let’s take Jimin for example. If we have 169 (5’6.5) as a low and 170 (5’7) as a high, he would exactly measure at 169.5 (5’6.75). Same goes for the rest of them.
Suga 169.5, 170, 170.5
J-Hope 172, 172.5, 173
JK 173, 173.5, 174
V, you could argue for 2 ranges: (174, 174.6, 175.3) or (174.6, 175.3, 176)
Jin, could also argue for 2 ranges: (175.3, 176, 176.5) or (176, 176.5, 177)
RM: 179, 180, 181

I think we’ve all come to a consensus that Jimin and Suga are pretty much within a fraction of each other. No arguments there.

JK at an EXTREME low can seem like an on-the-dot 5’8 (172.7), but rarely, if at all, dips below it.
Click Here
Though this photo may be skewed via footwear, posture, whatnot, Jungkook has edged out J-Hope on most occasions. It’s safe to say the latter is a weak 5’8 and the former, a solid one.

V is a classic example of what a flat 5’9 is. It’s ironic because I am also this height and not only do we have similar proportions, I even have a friend at the same height as Jin (and our height comparison is pretty much the same as them). Imo there is a half inch difference between the two that can pass as unnoticeable in some instances and other times, seem very obvious. V is a flat 5’9, Jin a strong 5’9.

I gave RM a 2cm gap range because it’s hard to decipher where he would truly measure. The average guess for him on his page is 5’10.5, his listing is 5’11, his official profile states 181. And the funny thing is he can pull off all 3.
It should be noted that the difference between RM and Jin is a 3.5-4cm difference, the same as Jin and J-Hope, which I do find to be consistent.

All in all, I think @superB’s listings are relevant, but would give them a few extra cms for good measure.
JJV2 said on 3/Sep/22
@Malcolm oliver
Guess We'll have to wait to see rob's opinion and listing on V
Listing V will make guessing the others easier
superB said on 2/Sep/22
@JJV2 shoe insoles can definitely play a massive role with height for these idols but I don't think many use sock insoles. I find it hard to believe that V could be 176 because realistically he looks more than 1cm shorter than Jin. I can't decide if Jin is 176 flat or 176.5. If he's 176 which is more likely then I don't think V in comparison would even reach 175 flat. There is a chance Jin could be 176.5, in which case it could be argued V can look the full 5'9 in comparison. 176cm for V is too high.
Psuedo said on 2/Sep/22
@JJV2

Look at how V stood next to Jin in the behind the scenes Black Swan, side by side, barefoot. You can’t get more accurate than that. V looks 1/4 inch shorter, virtually identical with Jin. V is clearly almost or if not 5’9, and when he stood next to Corden, he can look 5’9 flat. Also, Jungkook behind the scenes with 5’10 Charlie Puth he is looking 5’8.5 range, with same footwear.

Like I don’t understand how you can say V is possibly 5’8.5, when most people agree that J-hope is flat 5’8. There is no way V has 0.5 inch on J-hope, clearly more. As for your sock insoles, it’s just really unlikely on most of the evidence as we’ve never seen BTS admit show sock insoles, and in the James cordon you can clearly tell the white sneakers r flat and their foot isn’t elevated.

I’ve provided a bunch of evidence in this forum in the past that you can see, but you’re just eyeballing it in what you feel without providing pictures or events which is why I’m just confused on your reasoning.
Malcolm Oliver said on 2/Sep/22
V and Jin are the most confusing to me because at some points they look the same, but other times it can seem like there’s an inch or so of a difference. Jin’s undoubtedly taller, but whether it’s by a fraction, half inch, or somewhere in between (or maybe even more) is up to your own interpretation.
JJV2 said on 2/Sep/22
@superB
I find your listing the most accurate
JJV2 said on 2/Sep/22
@psuedo
Look
I'm not saying he is 5'8.5
I'm saying it's arguable
V is not 176 i guess that's ovious
Anything🤍 between 5'8.5_5'9 is around accurate
And please don't only go by photos as there are sock insoles and other sutff that can play a role
Suga clearly doesn't care about his height
But the most popular ones do care like V and jk and jin and jimin
Jimin sometimes looks on bar with RM
I don't know why you think that only shoes plays a role here
Jk clearly is 5'8 range so why you surprised he might actualy be 5'7.75
You think 0.25 an inch makes a defference on camera?
I'll give more proofs ofc when i get my hands on them
But from what i've seen i'm saying my opinion
I'm not trying to offened any body i'm open to discussing
But finding evidence is not that easy when someone has like 100 defferent heights on multiable events
JJV2 said on 1/Sep/22
@Malcolm oliver
Hmm..
Yeah i get what you mean
It makes sence
kaleo said on 1/Sep/22
I honestly just think that Jin could be 177.7cm or 176.5. V will probably be 175.2 or 176.3 . Jk 173 or 174

Psuedo said on 31/Aug/22
@JJV2
Please give evidence like I have, you can see he looks but you have not shown anything.
Your claim that V is 5'8.5 is ridiculous, as that would make Jungkook 5'7.75 range and then J-Hope like 5'7, and then Suga like 5'5.
superB said on 31/Aug/22
@JIYU, I cannot see Jin anywhere near 177.5 as he is realistically 176 flat, for the others:
Jimin 169
Suga 169.5
J-Hope 172
JK 173.4
V 174.6
RM 179-180
superB said on 31/Aug/22
I wouldn't go as low as 5'8.5 for V, but 5'8.75 - flat 5'9 seems right. Jin isn't 5'9.5, this isting is accurate. Jungkook is definitely not 5'8.5 but I can give him 5'8.25
JJV2 said on 31/Aug/22
@psuedo
Dude he looks 1.5 inches shorter and he is wearing a thicker shoe
Jin is a solid 5'9
5'9.25 is the maximum
5'9.5 is just highballing him
V is a master at posing and his head make him look bigger in size thus make you feel he is taller
V is 5'8.5_5'8.75 not the full 5'9
Jk is 5'8_5'8.25
That is my final listing for those members
Pseudo said on 30/Aug/22
There is absolutely no way V is 5’8.5, that’s literally just lowballing him for no reason. With James Corden he looks at LEAST 5’9. He has a big head relative to a very skinny body so he often looks shorter. Jung look is more likely 173-174 range as in left to right he actually looked like a strong 5’8 with 5’10 Charlie in equal footwear.

, V deserves a 175.3 too 175.9 and Jin 176.5 to 177.2. The more I see it, Jin is at least 5’9.5. I’ve seen 5’9 guys with great proportions like Jin, and they’re often shorter than what Jin appears. Watch his video with Lee Jung Jae, he actually stands extremely well with him
Psuedo said on 30/Aug/22
If yellow jacket is 173cm, how tall would you estimate the guy in red? They’re in equal footwear

Editor Rob
Close to 178cm.
Malcolm Oliver said on 30/Aug/22
@JIYU
Your guesses are too high imo
Malcolm Oliver said on 30/Aug/22
@Psuedo
You could make the case too that RM is not the full 5’11. So 5’10.75 - 1.5 = 5’9.25. Which is why I keep RM at that 180 mark (179.7-180.3 = 180). Either way, there is no wrong with keeping this listing or adding a quarter inch upgrade.

@JJV2
I think the highest that one member measures is the lowest another does. For example, the highest JK can pull off would be 5’8.5/174, but the lowest V can seem is around there too. And so on and so forth.

Jimin 169 (lowest), 170 (highest)
Suga 170 (lowest), 171 (highest)
J-Hope 171 (lowest), 173 (highest)
JK 173 (lowest), 174 (highest)
V 174? 174.5? (lowest), 175? 176? (highest)
Jin 175? 176? (lowest), 176.5? (highest)
RM 179 (lowest), 181 (highest)
JJV2 said on 30/Aug/22
@superB
That's what i've been saying
Even 5'8.5 is arguable
superB said on 30/Aug/22

Please upgrade Jin to 5’9.5, he looks that with Lee Jung Jae and often has looked 1.5 inches shorter than RM in equal footwear.
JJV2 said on 29/Aug/22
@Malcolm oliver
Yeah that Seems about right
Malcolm Oliver said on 28/Aug/22
In that case, here’s my final thoughts on their heights, + or - a fraction.

Jimin 169.5
Suga 170
J-Hope 172.5
JK 173.5 (174?)
V 175 (176?)
Jin 176 or 176.5
RM 180
Malcolm Oliver said on 28/Aug/22
Yeah, now I’m starting to see the case for 5’8 on JK. He would measure similar to Rob or Corden as I mentioned. Anywhere between 5’8-5’8.5 is arguable.
JIYU said on 26/Aug/22
There is no way Jin is lower than 177, he's probably around 177-177.5
RM - 180.5
V - 176.5
Jk - 175.5
Jhope - 174
Jimin & Suga - 172
Malcolm Oliver said on 24/Aug/22
I’m going to have to second @Psuedo here. V rarely looks under 5’9 and when he does, it’s because of angles or posture as I said.

Jungkook is a little iffier, but I do think he’s at least half an inch shorter than V. He seems similar to Corden in height. Still a chance for 5’8.5 though.
bgh said on 23/Aug/22
I do think V is at least 5’9, I’m not sure about Jungkook being the full 5’8.5 as he looks under it at times

Psuedo said on 20/Aug/22
@JJV

Please be realistic... 1.5 inches is an absolute joke.

These shoes would literally give about an inch, it looks to be made of a cheap rubber sole.
Click Here

By that logic you're telling me that those white sneakers gives the same height as Doc Martens, which Big Rob has a page here measured at 1.5 inches.
Click Here

As said before, V can pull of solid 175-176 range here with Corden, who's wearing dress shoes.
JJV said on 20/Aug/22
@Malcolm oliver
Jimin and Suga has once been listed 175 and 176 so that's 5.5_6cm increase not 4_5
So they can claim anything they can pull
JJV said on 20/Aug/22
@Malcolm oliver
Yeah he is slouching but don't forget that V is wearing chlesa boots which give him an inch advantage on corden
So i would say bare foot V is similar tl corden
And the camera angel doesn't play a role here cause they are standing next to each other and the camera is directed to the center and not comming from the sides
When it comes to harry's photos
We can't take these photos as a proof
Look
When someone look taller that means there is a higher chance they are wearing thick heels or lifts
So harry in the first photo might be wearing lifts to match his claim of 6ft because the defference is just so big cause harry looks to have a 4inch advantage in the first photo
The camera angel can trick and change the height but at this slight angle i don't think it adds this much defference
But when you see a celb looking shorter than his claim it's a higher chance that this is his actual height cause you will wonder what happened and they are not wearing any lifts or thick heels
What i'm saying is that it's easier to know someone's height when he looks shorter cause you know he is not wearing lifts to support his claims
But when he is looking taller you'll have that doubet that he is wearing lifts
They look tall=thats what they want
They look short=thats what they don't want so what is happening here(a higher chance that this is their actual height)
Get it?
JJV said on 20/Aug/22
@psuedo
Those are not basic white sneakers
Those sneakers give atleast 1.5 inch
Psuedo said on 19/Aug/22
Jin deserves an upgrade to 176.5cm. Too many interviews I see wear he's wearing flat/equal footwear with RM, he rarely looks the 2 inches shorter, often much closer to 1.5. Especially with Lee Jung Jae who's 180-181cm, Jin can pull off a 5'9 1/2.

V is absolutely not 174, more like 176 flat. He always looks taller than J-Hope who's 5'8 by like an inch, and he's 0.75-1 inch taller than Jungkook in equal footwear. I think it's just being ridiculous to give him 174 MAX, more like 174 minimum maybe, 176 max.

Click Here
Just look at this video, V looks to have at least an inch on James Corden in basic white sneakers. Jin get's a 176.5, and V 175.9.
Malcolm Oliver said on 19/Aug/22
@JJV
I think it comes down to angles and posture. In that photo with the Quora answer, V is slouching standing next to Corden. I could post these: Click Here
Click Here

and make a case for V being 5’9, but again angles and posture are at play. I think if we really looked into it, V can just barely edge out Corden (similar to how he edges out JK by a bit). Corden has even been argued to as high as 174. Here’s him with 5’10 Harry Styles: Click Here
Click Here

Notice how the 2nd photo they look almost even. I think the same thing is happening with that photo of V and Corden you mentioned. It’s taken from a shorter perspective and makes people look close in height (because it’s only a half inch difference).
JJV said on 19/Aug/22
@Malcolm oliver
Yeah that's on point accurate
Jimin and Suga might be a little below 60kg though
Kinda 58_59kg
V is like 62kg
Jungkook as well as V & propaply 64_65kg at his best shape
Rm about 67kg or a bit heavier
J_hope solid 59_60kg
JJV said on 19/Aug/22
@Malcolm oliver
The thing is V looked similar to corden at 5'8.25 in the photo(and with an inch thicker shoes)
Something doesn't make sence
Lets forget about footwear there
V looked similar to corden
Jk is 5'8 without lowballing him
I don't know why but i can't see Jk at 5'8.5 even his propotions say that he is about 5'8 if not a weak 5'8 and see the 5'8.5 spot goes to V
J_hpoe is similar to Jk or a bit shorter but he just doesn't care with footwear
JJV said on 19/Aug/22
@7272
J_hope is 171.5 max
For V 175 is maybe an overestimate
174 fits nice
Jk 172
Jin is exactly 176
The rest seemed accurate
Malcolm Oliver said on 19/Aug/22
Speaking to RM, he is a classic example of what 180cm is. At least 179, at most 181.

@JJV
I also agree that their weights range around there. I have a similar build to V and no way are him and JK 70+ kg. Weight is obviously a lot trickier than height to gauge, but they still have slim, lean frames. Though if they’ve been bulking or putting on weight, I can see a chance for 65 kg or .
Malcolm Oliver said on 19/Aug/22
@7272
More like
RM 180
Jin 176 or 176.5
V 175
JK 174
J-Hope 172.5
Suga 170
Jimin 169.5

If you really want to lowball JK, he can look similar to 5’8.25 Corden in height, but is probably a half inch shorter than V.
V is 5’9 through and through (you could argue that quarter inch, but it’s minimal at best). Jin is a half inch taller than V.

See the trend now? It’s usually a half inch difference between all members, bar RM.
Think about it. Someone else pointed it out, but the average height inflation idols will claim ranges around that 4-5cm mark. Not always, but sometimes.
i.e, Jimin’s profile lists him at 174 — in reality, he is 169.5; 174 - 169.5 = 4.5.
Suga 174 - 170 = 4
JHope 177 - 172.5 = 4.5
JK 178/179 - 174 = 4-5
V 179 - 175 = 4
7272 said on 18/Aug/22
RM 179.7 or 180

V 174.6 or 175?
Jungkook 172 or 173?

V and JHope are so tricky to estimate

I can’t see Jhope at 5’7 probably weak 5’8
JJV said on 18/Aug/22
@bgh
V looks similar but what about footwear?
JJV said on 18/Aug/22
The thing is that they are wearing chlesa next to corden
Thats an inch advantage
Plus guys their weights are not above 70kg at all
Maybe RM only
But the rest are slim and they are 60_65kg range
70kg at their heights will be buff and they are not buff(only RM a bit)
JJV said on 18/Aug/22
@bgh
Yeah RM is not 5'9.5 obviously
But the rest seemed accurate
Rm is minmum 5'10.5
But as i was saying
V is max 174
And jungkook is in the weak 5'8 around 172
The rest are known
We know that jin is not shorter than 5'9
And Suga, j_hpoe, jimin are closer to 5'7 range
bgh said on 18/Aug/22
@JJV
RM is standing behind, he actually can pass for at least 5’10.5 there. V looks similar range to Corden though?
JJV said on 17/Aug/22
@bbq
Yeah that's accurate

RM and Jin never wear insoles so if Jin is 176, RM could be in that strong 179 range

@psuedo
Yeah that's true
But again 0.25 inch is not that big of a defference
But i'm not saying he is 179cm
But i'm saying that it is a possible case
bgh said on 16/Aug/22
@Pseudo
J-Hope too, actually. He often looks very short next to Jungkook/V when there is only 0.5-1 inch difference between them. Often looks the same height as Jimin and we know how chunky Jimin shoes are.
Psuedo said on 16/Aug/22
@JJV
rm usually never soles insoles, he’s the only member along with SUGA that really don’t care about their height as I see him often wear flats.
JJV said on 15/Aug/22
@psuedo
Yeah you have a point
But to think about it Also 0.25 inch is not a major defference
We're saying 5'10.5 is possible as footwear change the defference
bbq said on 15/Aug/22
Could certainly say Jin is 5'9.5

Rob what do you think of this?
Psuedo said on 15/Aug/22
no way RM is 179.1cm, he’s 5’10 3/4 at worst. He clearly has at least 1.5 inches on Jin who could even argued for 176.5.
JJV said on 15/Aug/22
@chad Michaels
He realy do look that range
I believe so too he is around 5'10.5
JJV said on 15/Aug/22
@zzY
Yeah that's a possibility
chad michaels said on 14/Aug/22
@JJV
I personally see RM at 5’10.5-75.
zzY said on 14/Aug/22
@JJV yeah accurate enough. I'd give JK the 5'8.5 and V the 5'9.25
JJV said on 14/Aug/22
@bgh
Rm is not standing tall in comparison to jungkook
I think he clears the 2.5 inch defference
The question is if 3 inch defference is possible or if RM the full 5'11 rather than 5'10.5
JJV said on 14/Aug/22
@zzY
Honestly that's the most accurate range
They're the hardest to guess😂
V propaply is closer to the 5'9 and Jk is closer to the 5'8
Since the average of this range is 5'8.5
And there is about half inch defference between the two
I'll round there heights to be 5'8.25 for Jk and 5'8.75 for V
Isn't this the closest guess?

@JJV RM is listed as 76kg which seems accurate. I also don't think V looks under 70kg, he seems to be bulky and have a decent amount of muscle mass
bgh said on 11/Aug/22
RM 74kg
Jungkook 69kg
V 68-69kg
J-Hope 65kg
Jin 64-65kg
Jimin 61kg
Suga 60kg

They were slimmer back then, but they don’t diet anymore and put on a fair amount of weight since then
JJV said on 11/Aug/22
@zzy
Bro there weights isn't anywhere near this
The biggest RM was at 70kg
Jk the same if not less and he claimed more to suit his height claim at 70kg
V at 60_62kg
Jin at about 60_61kg
J_hope 60kg
Jimin and Suga 60kg or less
And that was at there peak muscle mass
Now they are lighter than that

Jung-jae is taller than most of Seventeen’s members, except for Mingyu.

Jimin & Suga - 170
J-Hope - 173
Jungkook - 174
V - 176
Jin - 176.5
RM - 180
Psuedo said on 9/Aug/22
I still think Jungkook is 173-174, he held up pretty well with Charlie Puth in Left and Right behind the scenes wearing same footwear.
JJV said on 9/Aug/22
@7272
Wow! That's like 2.5 inches
Well they maneged to work it and as i see they are still claiming this 6cm to their height
That goes with my opinion as Jk is about 173 or just 5'8(172.7)
And the taller the member the less height added to their claims
V claims 4_5cm
Jin claims 3cm
Rm maybe 1cm or 180 is his actual height
JJV said on 9/Aug/22
@zzY
If he was 169_170 and claimed 174
Then it's the shoe heels that they add to their height
Jungkook said he was about 179 with shoes
But after this claim Hype labels listed Jk 178 because they saw jungkook can't pass to be the same height as V cause V can wear a bit thicker shoes than jin to seem his height but Jk has 1cm still to go
So i really think jungkook is 173
V is around 175
Jin 176
Rm 179_180
J_hope 172
Suga 170_171
Jimin 169_170
zzY said on 9/Aug/22
Jungkook is 172.7 - 173.4 range
JJV said on 9/Aug/22
@Malcolm oliver
Yeah i was mistaken to say 5'7 once
But really the 5'8 Mark is ideal for jungkook
5'8.25 is possible
5'8.5 is not in my opinion
Jin's listing is the most accurate
V is 5'8.75 to 5'9
In my opinion this is an average listing without over estimating towards shorter or taller
bgh said on 8/Aug/22
Jin also looked a solid inch taller than Jungkook here, so it’s totally reasonable to give Jin the half inch mark.
bgh said on 8/Aug/22
Click Here

Good way to peg BTS’ heights, same shoes except for Jimin who is wearing insoles because he looked close to V and Jungkook. V probably put on a bit since then because he looked similar to Jungkook here
FloJ said on 8/Aug/22
176.5 cm for Jin in my honest opinion.

Rob, what is the average height difference for men between western countries (Canada, US, UK etc.) and Asian countries (Korea, China, Japan etc.)?
Is 5-6 cm fair? Something like 177cm vs 171cm?

The reason I asked is because I (millimetres over 177 cm night) got called tall pretty regularly when I travel to Asian countries, but rarely got called tall in western countries (Even women that are below 163 cm doesn't consider me as tall sometimes).
Malcolm Oliver said on 8/Aug/22
@Psuedo
He said he’s “about” 179, not “almost”. In context, it’s a small difference at that that can have another meaning altogether.

@JJV
With that in mind, 179 - 5 = 174. 2 inch footwear is so commonplace in not just kpop, but any individual used to lifts. JK looks 0.5-0.75 in shorter than V at times, an inch shorter than Jin, yet half an inch taller than JHope sometimes. Sure 173 may be a low, but he seems 5’8 in some cases.

Not going to argue with a measly cms or so, but 174 seems more legit than anything under 173. Whoever said 5’7 for him that other time needs to look over more pictures.
JJV said on 8/Aug/22
@psuedo
You said it and he said it
ALMOST 179CM in other words he is not 179cm with shoes
Plus you're forgeting that some of bts members wear lifts
So it's not impossible for him to wear lifts
Jin has atleast 1cm on V
And V has atleast 2cm on Jk
I see the top for jungkook 173cm
And his frame doesn't show that he is taller than that
7272 said on 7/Aug/22
@ JJV
When BTS first debuted they listed Tae and JK at the same height 176 cm, same height as billed height as Yoongi back then. I would guess JK to be somewhere in the weak 5’7 range.
Psuedo said on 7/Aug/22
@Malcolm Olvier

I agree with consensus, but look at the evidence.

Look at Jin with Lee Jung Jae, and he's looking 5'9.5. I would have said V as a flat 5'9, but look at the 3:00 min mark of this video, it's clear that Jin and V are within a fraction of each other. They look basically identical.

I would assume Jin and V's height as a tossup on who's taller based on that, but considering how BigHit Officially lists Jin as "taller" than V, it makes sense that Jin is only 1/4 inch taller than V. So I think Jin is a 5'9.5, V is likely 5'9 1/4. I don't see 1/2 inch difference between V and Jin in that video.

Click Here
Psuedo said on 7/Aug/22
@JJV @bgh

Jungkook is 5’8.5, or 174cm. He said that he is almost 5’10.5 or 179cm with shoes in a video, and we all know he wears these clunky shoes that give like 2 inches. He has a small head so he looks taller.


@bgh you’re right I see a 0.75 inch V has on Jungkook. I think V is a 175.9cm, and Jin is 176.5cm. When I see photos/videos of BTS barefoot V can look up too 2 inches shorter than RM, and with the Wooga Squad he gets dwarfed by Choi Woo Shik by up too 2 inches. But, he still looks tall at times and I think he’s 5’9 1/4.

Jin absolutely needs an upgrade to 5’9.5. He looked 176.5cm with Lee Jung Jae who’s a legit 5’11.
Malcolm Oliver said on 7/Aug/22
In other words, 5’9.5 for Jin is more likely than 5’9.25 for Tae. Though it’s not out of the question for either.

The only safe bets we can rule out are 5’8 for Jimin and 5’10 for JK.
Malcolm Oliver said on 7/Aug/22
@Psuedo
@bgh’s take is the consensus, if V were to get a listing, he’d fit 5’9 more than 5’9.25 (though he can pull off both). The thing with listings is that the consensus is accounted for first, such as Jin getting that 176 (but can be argued for 176.5). V’s case is the same, to a lesser extent as I said, because Jin sometimes seems a half inch taller.

Ideally, we should list the two at 5’9 and 5’9.25/5’9.5, Jungkook at 5’8.5. At this point, I don’t see it being a matter of ifs, ands, or buts.
zzY said on 7/Aug/22
@JJV considering he was barely 16 at the time of debut, I would assume he was 169-170 max
5'10 1/4 Asian guy said on 7/Aug/22
He is a strong 5'9 ,can look 176-177 range,5'9⅛ at worst i guess.comparing him to other BTS member is sometimes tricky because they probably using different soles eventhough on the same shoes design.andd he is slouching at most,
JJV said on 7/Aug/22
Can someone take a guess about jungkook's height when Bts first debut
As he claimed 5'8.5
So maybe we can find the pattern here as to how much is he adding in his claims
JJV said on 7/Aug/22
@zzY
It's kind of an average guess
V 173_175
Jk 172_174
But i have doubtes about jungkook as i see him no less than 2cm shorter than V
Jin at 175.9 is the most accurate in my opinion and he beats V by about half an inch
So 5'8.75 or so to V
Jungkook Seems to me the same height as zac efron to be honest
bgh said on 7/Aug/22
@Pseudo

I don’t think V has a full inch on Jungkook? 3/4 of an inch sounds fine and maybe even 1/2, but no way the full inch. I would downgrade V to 5’9 flat.
Psuedo said on 6/Aug/22
Jin should have 176.5, and V should have the 175.9 listing. Jungkook should get 173.4. Bam, perfect additions.
zzY said on 6/Aug/22
I for one think 175.9 is 100% accurate for Jin
Malcolm Oliver said on 6/Aug/22
I’m all for a quarter inch upgrade (176.5).

Time to get V and Jungkook a page. To settle it once and for all.
zzY said on 6/Aug/22
@JJV, would those be your lowest guesses?
bgh said on 6/Aug/22
Okay I have seen some pictures, and Lee Jung-jae is really a legit 5’11.
bgh said on 6/Aug/22
Is Lee Jung-Jae really 5’11?
There is no concrete evidence of him being 5’11 as of now, so I’m looking for those right now, as I don’t see Lee Jung-Jae being the same height with someone like Wi Ha-Joon.
bgh said on 6/Aug/22
I think you can safely give Jin the half inch, Rob.
zzY said on 6/Aug/22
@bgh maximum you'd give Jin ?
7272 said on 5/Aug/22
Kai is a weak 5’10 guy. Sehun is probably around the 179 range because he looked a little bit shorter than 180 cm Tao.

5’9.5 would be a better listing since he is acknowledged by the company to be fraction taller than V, and V is probably
5’9 1/4
7272 said on 4/Aug/22
5’9.5
bgh said on 4/Aug/22
Jin surely can pass for 5’9.5, a fair amount of people will argue that he is 5’9.5 due to him being a solid half inch taller than V
zzY said on 3/Aug/22
@John 171, posture and footwear can certainly make a difference. Lowest I could see for Jungkook is 172.7 and lowest for V would be 174, but they're both probably taller than that
Malcolm Oliver said on 3/Aug/22
@Psuedo
Tangent, but the article mentions Jung Woo Sung whose height I’ve always wondered. Jin is nearing 5’11 with that footwear, next to 5’11 Lee Jung Jae (6’ with shoes). Jung Woo Sung is listed 186-187 on most sites, but not sure how much of a height difference I would peg between him and the other two. Though he does look 2-2.5in taller than his 5’11 friend: Click Here (Lee Jung Jae)

him with fellow 187 listed Jo In Sung: Click Here (seems more like 6’2?)
Psuedo said on 3/Aug/22
I'm leaning more towards 5'9.5 as being the perfect listing after seeing him with Lee Jung Jae who is listed as 5'11 here. Jin is wearing regular shoes and Lee is wearing loafers that could possibly have a little heel lift.

Jimin 169.5
Suga 170
J-Hope 172.5
Jungkook 174
V 175
Jin 176 or 176.5
RM 180

I’ve said it before, but they are about half an inch from each other in height: Jimin-Suga, JHope-JK, JK-V, V-Jin. Jimin is comparable in height to someone like Tom Holland imo. Jin can be argued for either 176 or 176.5, V can be argued for 176 (to a lesser extent).
Malcolm Oliver said on 3/Aug/22
Second this listing, he’s for sure 5’9, can’t decide by how much over though. He can look 5’9.5 if you have V at 5’9, Jungkook at 5’8.5, but sometimes 2 inches shorter than RM. That 5’9.25 is a good middle ground.

V and Jungkook should definitely have their own pages, the above heights are what I would list them at. Thanks again Rob for making a page for Jin.
John 171 said on 2/Aug/22
I think 178cm..
Psuedo said on 2/Aug/22
Yeah, I think 5'9 1/4 is the lowest I see for him, I think 5'9 1/2 is also a respectable listing.

Click Here
Click Here

He's here with Lee Jung Jae who is listed as 5'11 in this site. He's wearing somewhat formal shoes, and Lee Jung jae is wearing loafers. Lee still looks 1-1.25 inches taller.

Does he look 5'9 1/4 or 5'9 1/2 with him? It's kind of hard to tell.

Psuedo said on 2/Aug/22
Great addition, @bgh I think that’s probably his right out of bed morning height.

I honestly would not mind Jin getting a quarter inch upgrade too 5’9.5 because he does look a quarter inch taller than V in equal footwear, and I think V definitely is not just 5’9 so a 5’9.25 makes sense for him and 5’9.5 for Jin.
