V from BTS dreams of a white Christmas and will bring back the Bing Crosby classic to make it a reality. In partnership with the Bing Crosby Estate, the BTS member will release the reimagined version of “White Christmas” on December 6.
“I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to be featured on a song with my favorite jazz artist of all time, Bing Crosby,” V said in a statement. “I grew up listening to his song 'It's Been a Long, Long Time' countless times a day, and I feel incredibly lucky and honored to have sung 'White Christmas' in the voice of someone I consider an idol. Being a big fan of his, I sang with the utmost sincerity and admiration for him, and I hope that many people enjoy it as much as I enjoyed singing it. Finally, I wish a beautiful holiday to everyone who listens to the song.”
“As a family, we are thrilled to have V and Dad singing this ultimate Christmas song together,” said Mary Crosby, Bing's daughter.
V's history of loving Bing Crosby and jazz as a whole is extensive; his 2023 solo project, Scalesaw him incorporating many of the genre's defining traits into his music. He then brought a live band to his Tiny Desk Korea appearance, where he doubled up with a saxophonist.
V is currently completing his mandatory time in the South Korean military alongside his bandmates RM, Suga, Jimin, and Jung Kook. J-Hope recently returned to civilian life, while BTS elder Jin is preparing for the release of his own solo project.
