V’s Love for All Things Jazz (and Now, Crosby)
If V has been one of your music idols, you are clearly familiar with the fact that he passionately loves jazz. This man, though not only the latest trend-pop-related artist, but also have a soul for classics. From Frank Sinatra to, yes, Bing Crosby, V’s music inspirations come from an era before smartphones were even a thing! This Christmas, he brings an offering from his deep love for the fans by presenting to them a duet with the legendary singer of the most famous Christmas song of all time, they never knew they had wished for. Whereas Bing Crosby is no longer alive (he has died in 1977 already), technology has made possible the holiday magic emulation of transcending time periods and bringing these artists virtually together.
But Wait… Isn’t Bing Crosby Really Old-School?
Definitely, that is why this duo is so incredible! Bing Crosby’s amazing vocal style and old-fashioned wit made his audience feel transported back to a nostalgic 1940s festive dinner. He is almost the voice of Christmas because of his original recording of “White Christmas” which has been a popular song for the holidays for more than 70 years. In fact, that song is the biggest-selling single ever according to the Guinness World Records, with more than 50 million copies sold around the globe.
Ok now, just imagine, Crosby’s ageless aura coupled with V’s one-of-a-kind radiance. V’s not only letting in that modern K-pop trend; he’s caressing his love for traditional jazz thus becoming a suitable partner for this posthumous duet. There is absolutely no doubt that the fans of both BTS and classical holiday music are, in esoteric terms, in for a treat!
How This Duet Is Going Down
Maybe you ask yourself – how is this even plausible? Combining a living K-pop star with a jazz legend of the past, ain’t that too far-fetched? Through the means of modern audio wizardry, they are giving us recordings of Bing Crosby’s voice from the bygone era that have been blended with V’s own version of that unforgettable voice. No, it’s not your ordinary remix. It is an innovative piece of work enabling V and Bing voices to blend in a very harmonious way – the most appealing to the ear. It’s like V is accompanying Bing through the 2024 holiday update. In this incredible version of the song, it sounds like they are going to bless the world with a classic of new depth, which everyone will be excitedly singing along to.
The Buzz on Social Media: ARMYs Are Hyped!
Of course, ARMYs (BTS’s fan base, if you didn’t know) are almost having a breakdown over this piece of news. The bright side of the notification is that on YouTube and all Twitter handles the teaser featuring V with his pet dog Yeontan coupled with the magnificent snow-covered trailer is released. The fans have been expressing their overwhelming excitement through tweets, fan art, and virtual countdowns. And why wouldn’t they? It doesn’t happen every day that you get a holiday single from a BTS member, and the one who does is either a jazzmaster or a Christmas classic.
Furthermore, Crosby’s official estate joined in the fun and enthusiasm. They have been sharing Crosby’s dates and social media accounts to the fans and bringing back his Christmas-related posts to life, which is like a gift, too. The ARMY is literally driving the holiday cheer home to the extent that they even encourage each other to start their playlist preparations so they can be the full recipients of this new variant and enjoy the music throughout December.
A Perfect Holiday Storm
There’s just an unexplainable enchantment that lies within this duet. V has long been able to blend in human heart and feeling into his melodies. ‘White Christmas’ being the perfect platform he could unveil his talent with. The song is inherently warm and tender, a sweet lulling melody that would make you want to wrap up with a cup of tea and a blanket. Layer by layer, the scope of V’s charm projects over it along with Crosby’s sinuous vocals—that intimate hug we all get to experience through the medium of sound.
Will “White Christmas” Become This Season’s Hit?

What’s Next for V’s Solo Journey?
V has been having a great time during his solo journey lately, and this collaboration is just another time in his not-that-alone way. He has a recently released EP, Layover, which showcased not only his multiple interests but also his imaginary range that allows explorations of dissimilar genres. Teaming up with a great singer like Bing Crosby is the very action that V takes to prove that he is determined to move away into the musical horizon while staying in the good-old, classic sound world of music. It’s hard to say what he will be doing in the future, however, one thing is for sure V’s limitless creative range will never be one of his constraints.
