BTS's V and Park Hyo Shin to Release Duet 'Winter Ahead' with a Special Kiss

BTS's V (뷔), known as the 'Winter Boy,' has announced an exciting collaboration with renowned vocalist Park Hyo Shin (박효신) for their upcoming duet titled 'Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN).' The announcement was made on November 22, 2024, via the global fan platform Weverse and BTS's official social media channels, revealing that the digital single will be released simultaneously worldwide on November 29 at 2 PM KST.

V, who has consistently shared winter-themed songs such as 'Snow Flower (feat. Peakboy),' 'Christmas Tree,' and 'wherever u r (ft. V of BTS),' is set to bring a festive atmosphere this year with a duet alongside a legendary vocalist.

The song 'Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)' was inspired by V's desire for fans to enjoy a warm and happy winter. As a jazz enthusiast, V proposed the idea of creating a winter-themed track to his close friend Park Hyo Shin, who readily agreed. This collaboration resulted in a jazz pop duet that reflects both artists' musical tastes, honed through their extensive joint efforts.

The romantic lyrics, penned by Jesse Harris, who is known for writing Norah Jones's 'Don't Know Why,' blend seamlessly with the warm melody. The soft and gentle vocal tones of V and Park Hyo Shin promise to deliver a comforting experience to listeners.

Additionally, fans can look forward to another winter surprise from V on December 6 at 2 PM KST, when he will release a reimagined version of the classic 'White Christmas,' originally performed by legendary pop artist Bing Crosby. This timeless song, first released in 1942, will be infused with V's unique style, bringing warmth and joy to the holiday season.
