A week after the release of Winter Ahead, BTS’s V surprised fans with a duet of a Christmas classic alongside none other than Bing Crosby. Their rendition of White Christmas debuted last Friday (6th) and has already become the biggest Christmas song debut on Spotify, proving that the holiday season is undoubtedly V’s time to shine.
The BTS member has long been a fan of Crosby, frequently expressing his admiration for the iconic singer. One memorable moment was featured in V’s special vlog recorded before his enlistment, where he sang one of Crosby’s timeless tracks.
What makes this collaboration particularly unique is that no artificial intelligence tools were used to recreate Bing Crosby’s voice. Instead, the original track was remastered, and V’s stunning vocals were flawlessly added to the song. The result is nothing short of extraordinary.
The duet’s music video embraces a festive holiday theme, featuring V’s beloved dog, Yeotan, as an animated character alongside Bing Crosby. Last week, V shared the bittersweet news that Yeotan had crossed the stars, leaving many ARMYs heartbroken. Fans who know V understand the deep love he had for his furry companion. In many ways, the video serves as a beautiful tribute, immortalizing Yeotan for both V and his fans.
This unexpected duo has delivered what is sure to become a new holiday classic. White Christmas is bound to find its place on countless playlists for Christmas 2024 around the world.
