Park Hyo Shin has just hit a huge milestone in his career! His collaboration with BTS's V on the song "Winter Ahead" has officially entered the prestigious Billboard Hot 100 chart.
On December 10, Billboard made the exciting announcement that "Winter Ahead" debuted at number 99 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the week of December 14, 2024. This is a huge moment for Park Hyo Shin as it marks his first-ever entry on the chart since his debut in 1999. The talented singer, known for hit songs like "Good Person," "Wildflower," and "Snow Flower," has built a reputation as one of Korea’s top solo vocalists and made his mark in musical theater with roles in Elisabeth, Mozart!, Phantom, and Beethoven.
This also marks V’s fifth entry on the Billboard Hot 100, following his previous chart hits "FRI(END)S," "Love Me Again," "Slow Dancing," and "Christmas Tree."
Released on November 29, "Winter Ahead" is a heartwarming jazz-pop duet, created after V, who loves jazz, asked his close friend Park Hyo Shin to join him in making a winter-themed song. The song expresses V's hope for fans to have a warm and happy winter.
But that's not all! Park Hyo Shin also teased that he will release a prelude video for his new single "HERO" on December 16 at 6 PM KST. This will be his first new song in five years! "HERO" is not only a powerful track where Park Hyo Shin performs but also contributes to the writing, composing, and arranging. It’s the title track for the film "Firefighter," which was released on December 4, and its message perfectly fits the film’s deep and impactful storyline.
Park Hyo Shin’s agency, HOBIGHA, shared a heartfelt message, explaining that despite delays in the song's release, they decided it was important to share "HERO" now in hopes of providing comfort and hope to listeners during difficult times.
