On November 29, V unveiled a new jazz pop song titled Winter Ahead. The song also features ballad favorite Park Hyo Shin. The collaboration became an instant hit, ranking high on music charts. The BTS singer is obviously very comfortable with this genre and his vocals also suit it very well. The main attraction of the release was the romantic music video.
The K-pop idol takes on the character of a sculptor who is trying to find his long-lost love through his creation. Just when he finally finds her, everything shatters like a dream, or more like a hallucination. The climax presents a question in front of the viewers as V comes face to face with his alter ego.
The BTS member is renewed for the creation of contemporary music videos that tell a story like those in films. In Winter Ahead, he once again showed him brilliant artistry and the ability to create masterpieces.
As fans celebrate the success of Winter Ahead, excitement runs high for his upcoming release as well. V is set to unveil another single titled White Christmas. There is already much buzz even before the release, as this will be his virtual collab with none other than Bing Crosby, the late jazz legend. The song is now set to arrive on December 6.
