On November 22, BTS’ label, BigHit Music, sent fans into a frenzy by announcing that the BTS singer is collaborating with Park Hyo Shin. The two are coming together for V’s upcoming digital single ‘Winter Ahead.’ The track is going to perfectly capture the holiday spirit of togetherness and warm vibes using the soulful vocals of the two artists. The song “is a jazz-pop song with a heavy vibe that showcases the peaceful voice colours of the two artists. The song sings that happiness can be found in being with someone on your side. As you listen to the song by V, we hope you wrap up the year warmly with your loved ones.” Jesse Harris, the songwriter behind Norah Jones’ contemporary jazz-pop staple ‘Don’t Know Why’ has penned the track. ‘Winter Ahead’ is scheduled to release on November 29 at 2 PM KST.

The BTS singer also opened up about this special collaboration. He expressed gratitude for getting the opportunity to feature in a song by his all-time favourite jazz artist. “I grew up listening to his song ‘It’s Been a Long, Long Time’ on repeat. So, it feels like such an honour to sing alongside the voice of someone I admire so much on White Christmas.”

Meanwhile, in September 2023, just months before enlisting for his mandatory military service, BTS’ V released his solo ‘EP Layover.’ The album peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard 200. This solidified the K-pop idol’s global appeal and footing in the music industry.
