It’s officially the holiday season, and V of BTS has dropped a special gift under the tree with his take on the Bing Crosby holiday classic “White Christmas.” Stream it below.
Created in partnership with the Bing Crosby Estate, the new version of the song allows V to sing alongside the legendary crooner he described recently as his “all-time favorite jazz artist.” The BTS member kicks off the song before he’s joined by the familiar vocals of the iconic Crosby. The warm harmonies weave together over the classic, cozy instrumental.
“As a family, we are thrilled to have V and Dad singing together on this ultimate Christmas song,” Bing’s daughter, Mary Crosby, shared in a statement. “Their voices blend beautifully, capturing the holiday spirit in the best possible way.”
The cover art for the song was inspired by the original “White Christmas” song design, but Bing is joined by V’s beloved and recently departed dog, Yeontan.
The song is a comforting holiday gift from afar as V enters the final stretch of his time in the South Korean military, which he is expected to complete in June of 2025. Prior to enlistment, V released another very jazz-inspired solo project titled Layover. Meanwhile, his bandmate, Jin, recently dropped a thoughtful solo album of his own titled Happy.
Anyone looking to sing along with Bing and V can secure a copy of the sheet music for all the tunes from the beloved Christmas film here.
