Known as the Winter bear, BTS’s V has announced the release of his upcoming new digital single “Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN).” The singer continues to keep his winter tradition of keeping listeners warm with past singles such as “Snow Flower,” “Christmas Tree,” and “wherever u r (ft. V of BTS).” This year, V returns with a collaboration that perfectly captures the end-of-year spirit with South Korean ballad singer Park Hyo Shin, known for his powerful and emotive voice. Their voices come together to beautifully capture the warmth and nostalgia of the season.

“Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)” was inspired by V’s wish for his fans to have a warm and joyful winter. A jazz enthusiast, V reached out to Park Hyo Shin, with whom he has a longstanding friendship, to propose the idea of creating a winter-themed single. Park Hyo Shin happily took part to create a jazz pop track that reflects both of their tastes, shaped by thoughtful development and careful attention to every detail over time.
The single comes as the perfect Christmas warm up as it arrives just one week before the highly anticipated release of “White Christmas (with V of BTS),” V’s duet with the legendary Bing Crosby, dropping on December 6. “White Christmas,” originally released in 1942 by Bing Crosby and beloved worldwide, will be brought to life again by V with his unique touch to this timeless classic to deliver warmth and joy just in time for the holidays.
“Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)” will be available on all streaming platforms worldwide on November 29th at 2 PM KST.
