• BTS's V to Release Special 'White Christmas' Duet with Bing Crosby

    BTS's V is set to release a special duet with legendary singer Bing Crosby! Big Hit Music announced on the 7th that V’s new song, “White Christmas (with V of BTS),” will be released worldwide on December 6 at 2 PM KST.

    In this unique track, V adds his own style to Crosby's classic “White Christmas,” a song beloved since its original release in 1942.

    This collaboration blends V’s modern artistry with Bing Crosby’s timeless charm, creating a magical connection between two iconic voices. This duet also marks Crosby's first new release in 47 years, his last one being with David Bowie in 1977.

    This project was inspired by V’s admiration for Bing Crosby. Back in 2022, V shared a cover of Crosby’s “It’s Been a Long, Long Time,” showing his love for the jazz legend. In response, Crosby’s official channel commented, “We believe V will make a wonderful jazz crooner, just like our Bing.”

    Bing Crosby, one of the biggest stars of the 20th century and a Hollywood Walk of Fame honoree, became famous for hits like "White Christmas," which has been covered by artists like Michael Bublé, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry.

    Yet, this is the first time an official duet with Crosby has been released, making it even more meaningful. Fans around the world can look forward to “White Christmas (with V of BTS)” bringing some holiday warmth this season!
