In a move destined to warm hearts this winter, BTS’ V is teaming up with Korean ballad legend Park Hyo-shin for a soulful seasonal duet. Titled Winter Ahead, the track will arrive on digital platforms next Friday at 2 p.m., just in time to wrap fans in a blanket of jazz-pop nostalgia. BigHit Music, the group’s agency, teased the collaboration on Weverse, describing it as a heartfelt wish from V to bring his fans a “warm and happy winter.” With its soothing melody and reflective lyrics penned by Grammy-winning songwriter Jesse Harris, the single promises to be a standout in V’s growing catalog of winter-themed releases.

This project is more than just a musical endeavor—it’s a testament to V’s passion for jazz and his collaborative spirit. Reaching out to his “longtime friend,” Park Hyo-shin, V crafted a piece that reflects both their vocal strengths and shared musical sensibilities. Park’s emotive balladry paired with V’s velvety tone creates a pairing that fans didn’t know they needed but are now eagerly awaiting. From Snow Flower to Christmas Tree, V has made seasonal music a cherished tradition, and this latest collaboration feels like an evolution, blending his jazz influences with Park’s signature warmth.

But that’s not all. The excitement doesn’t end with Winter Ahead. Just a week later, V is slated to release a reimagined duet of White Christmas with none other than the late Bing Crosby, a collaboration made possible through modern technology. Fans are already buzzing about what promises to be a holiday season filled with timeless music and creative surprises. For now, Winter Ahead offers the perfect prelude—a gentle invitation to settle in, sip something warm, and let V and Park guide listeners through a snowy musical journey.
