BTS’ V has recently released a new track titled White Christmas alongside the legendary Bing Crosby. Soon after its release, it managed to grab a spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. With that, the artist has become the first K-pop idol to chart three songs on the prestigious chart.

On December 17, 2024, the positions for the Billboard Hot 100 chart were revealed, and BTS’ V and Bing Crosby’s holiday duet managed to secure the No. 93 spot on the chart. It is the third song by the K-pop star that grabbed a spot on the chart in 2024 alongside FRI(END)S and Winter Ahead. Moreover, the song marks BTS’ V’s sixth solo entry on the Hot 100, following Christmas Tree, which peaked at no. 79; Love Me Again at no. 96; Slow Dancing at no. 51; FRI(END)S at no. 65; and Winter Ahead at no. 99. 

White Christmas is the new version of the iconic holiday song featuring the vocals of V, or Kim Taehyung, and the late singer Bing Crosby. The official music video of the song showcases an animated Bing Crosby alongside V’s pet dog Yeotan, spreading Christmas cheer. It was recently revealed that Yeotan passed away, which makes the video even more special and a tribute to the singer’s furry friend.
