On December 6, V arrived with White Christmas, a virtual duet with Bing Crosby, to set the festive mood right. It is a jazz track, a reimagined version of the legendary singer's classic holiday song. Previously the jazz icon's daughter Mary Crosby noted how their voices blended beautifully, creating a new harmony that might just have become a new holiday fan favorite. The duet debuted at No. 93 on the Billboard Hot 100, making V the first and only K-pop artist in 2024 to have 3 songs enter the chart.
Meanwhile, through the sentimental music video, the BTS member paid tribute to Bing Crosby and also commemorated his pet dog Yeontan, who recently took his last breath.
