Seoul, South Korea – BTS member V is set to collaborate with legendary American singer Bing Crosby on a new version of the classic Christmas carol "White Christmas." The duet, which combines V's vocals with Crosby's original 1942 recording, will be released globally on December 6th at 2 PM KST.
Hybe Corporation announced that this collaboration marks a historic moment, as it is the first time Crosby has had a duet partner since David Bowie in 1977. "White Christmas" was originally featured in the 1942 musical film "Holiday Inn" and won the Academy Award for Best Original Song. Since its release, countless artists, including Taylor Swift, have covered the song.
Hybe stated that V has put his own unique spin on a portion of "White Christmas," giving the timeless classic a fresh interpretation. This collaboration is said to be inspired by V's long-standing admiration for Crosby. In 2022, V shared a cover of Crosby's "It's Been a Long, Long Time" on social media, showcasing his appreciation for the legendary singer. The official Bing Crosby channel responded positively, stating that V has the potential to be a "great jazz crooner."
With this collaboration, BTS's V and Bing Crosby, two iconic figures from different generations, come together to create a truly special and timeless piece of music. Fans around the world eagerly await the release of this unique duet.
