BTS's V is set to collaborate on a Christmas classic in a bid to hit the Christmas number one! Will he be this year's top Holiday song? Let's take a closer look at the details!
With Christmas just around the corner, and with many artists gearing up to hit number one on the charts, BTS star V will also give ARMY fans a special Christmas gift. He will collaborate with the late American Singer Bing Crosby who sadly passed away in 1977, on the classic Christmas song "White Christmas". Will there be a K-pop twist?
Fans have also taken to social media to express their opinions and excitement about the collaboration!
BTS's V made a statement:
"I'm so grateful to have had the chance to be featured in a song with my all-time favorite jazz artist, Bing Crosby. I grew up listening to his song, 'It's Been a Long, Long Time' countless times a day, and I feel incredibly fortunate and honored to have sung along on 'White Christmas' with the voice of someone I consider an idol."
Let's take a listen to the Christmas classic which has had generations dancing around the Christmas tree and feeling festive!
As we have seen with many K-pop artists recently, they appear to be collaborating with Western artists, such as Rosé and Bruno Mars on "Apt.", and Sam Smith with Taeyeon. The mix of Eastern and Western culture coming together in an artistic outlet such as through music is great, and perhaps this will make them more successful outside of Korean and on a global stage.
The song will be released on December 6, 2024 at 2 PM KST so make sure you save the date! We cannot wait to see what K-pop twist will be added to this timeless classic.
