V of BTS and Bing Crosby's ‘White Christmas’: A timeless duet wrapped in holiday magic

So, there I was, minding my own business, scrolling through my emails, when I saw it: Sender: V. Wait—V? An email from V, aka Kim Taehyung of BTS? Hein?! Just as I was trying to process that bit of magic, I opened it up to find... the official announcement. And let me tell you, ARMY, it’s the holiday news we didn’t know we needed.

V of BTS is reviving the holiday classic, “White Christmas,” with none other than jazz legend Bing Crosby. Since it first hit the airwaves in 1942, “White Christmas” has been the anthem of the season, cherished across generations. Now, “White Christmas (with V of BTS)” breathes new life into Crosby’s legacy, merging the timeless warmth of a classic icon with the smooth elegance of a 21st-century pop star. Think about it: Bing Crosby and V, two global legends from different worlds, coming together for an era-defying holiday duet. It’s the collaboration we never saw coming but now can’t imagine missing.

And the way they’ve made this happen is just as magical as the concept itself. This duet is set to feature Bing Crosby’s original analog vocals, carefully preserved and woven into the track, alongside V’s smooth and soulful voice. By blending Crosby’s timeless tone with V’s unique style, they’re bridging eras through the warmth of analog and modern sound, creating an immersive experience that honors the classic while adding a fresh twist.

Alongside the musical release, fans can also look forward to some exciting merchandising to celebrate this collaboration. Special edition items that reflect the holiday spirit and the essence of both V and Bing Crosby will be available, allowing fans to bring a piece of this unique partnership into their own holiday celebrations.

And should we even be surprised? V’s been in his Christmas groove for a while. Last year, he gave us that cozy, hoodie-clad rendition of “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” with his adorable dog Yeontan making a guest appearance. And now, just yesterday, he teased us again, posting an 8-second Instagram story of white snow falling—subtle, right? ARMY knows V has a flair for cryptic hints, like when he practically announced the McDonald’s collab by posting a tray with exactly seven French fries, arranged in order of height like the BTS members. The man’s a master of foreshadowing, and that snowy story was his way of saying, Get ready, winter is about to get a lot more magical.

And speaking of Yeontan, V’s adorable Pomeranian, it’s no surprise he’s become the true star here. Remember when V appeared on You Quiz on the Block? While most artists bring fellow musicians for collaborations, V showed up with Tannie as his “special guest.” The internet had a field day, turning it into a meme-worthy moment that showcased V’s unique charm and bond with his dog. And let’s not forget, the cutie even graced the cover of Layover, V’s solo album, showing he’s no stranger to the spotlight. Now, with this “White Christmas” collaboration, it’s not even V on the album cover—it’s him, Tannie, front and center, sharing the spotlight with Bing Crosby himself! It’s heartwarming to see Tannie take the reins, adding an extra layer of holiday cheer to this one-of-a-kind release.

Set to drop on December 6, this duet combines the cozy spirit of Bing’s timeless vocals with V’s soulful touch, wrapping us all up in nostalgia and holiday cheer. With winter around the corner, ARMY, get ready to bask in the glow—V and Bing Crosby are about to deliver a Christmas classic for the ages.
