When it comes to boy groups doing acapella, we’ve got to give credit where credit is due! During their first ever public appearance, TVXQ performed an acapella rendition of “O Holy Night” with BoA!

CIX gave fans chills with their clever acapella bridge in the R&B track “Round 2!” Filled with dense harmonies and vocal percussion, this B-side deserves to be known.

7. SuperM – Dangerous Woman

The first time many SuperM fans heard the acapella opening to “Dangerous Woman” was live in concert during their SuperM: We Are the Future Live tour! Even without a studio version, fans were obsessed. It was released in the album Super One, and fans were glad to finally listen to their sweet vocals in HD.

8. BTS – Permission to Dance

BTS absolutely nailed the feel-good vibes they were going for in the final chorus of “Permission to Dance!” This almost fully acapella section is sure to have fans dancing and yelling from their seats whenever concerts pick up again.
