The idea of a collaboration between V and Crosby stirred excitement among ARMYs and jazz enthusiasts alike.

Adding to the anticipation, Crosby’s estate has engaged with BTS fans on social media, even pinning a video of V listening to Crosby’s classic It’s Been a Long, Long Time.
Meanwhile, White Christmas, originally composed by Irving Berlin, has been a holiday staple since Crosby’s version topped the charts in the 1940s, selling over 50 million physical copies worldwide. This posthumous collaboration merges Crosby’s vintage style with V’s contemporary sound, offering fans a fresh take on the beloved classic while preserving its nostalgic charm. For V, the opportunity to collaborate with one of his musical idols, even virtually, is a dream come true and a fitting homage to the golden era of jazz.
