BTS's V to Release 'White Christmas' Duet with Bing Crosby

"V was considered the perfect artist to duet on 'White Christmas'"

The legendary holiday classic 'White Christmas' by Bing Crosby is set to be reborn as a duet with BTS's V on December 6th. The track, titled 'White Christmas (with V of BTS)', marks a special collaboration between the 21st-century pop icon V and the legendary singer Bing Crosby.

V has frequently mentioned Bing Crosby as one of his favorite musicians and has covered Crosby's iconic songs like 'It's Been a Long, Long Time' and 'It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas'. This admiration caught the attention of Crosby's label, Primary Wave, paving the way for this unique collaboration.

Primary Wave commented on V's cover videos, stating, "We discovered V's longstanding admiration for Bing Crosby." They added, "We anticipated that his voice would beautifully harmonize with Bing Crosby's. We believed he was the perfect artist for a 'White Christmas' duet and approached him for the project."

The choice of 'White Christmas' for the duet was explained as "an obvious selection, given its global popularity as a beloved carol." Since its release in 1942, the song has been covered by numerous top artists like Michael Bublé, Taylor Swift, and Katy Perry, but a duet version with Bing Crosby has never been released until now.

Primary Wave emphasized that this collaboration is not merely a strategic partnership. They stated, "V's affection for Bing Crosby and his passion for the duet made this collaboration truly special. The voices of the two artists will blend beautifully, and V's sincerity is expected to resonate deeply with music fans worldwide."

Meanwhile, 'White Christmas (with V of BTS)' is the second musical gift from 'Winter Boy' V this season. V has delighted fans annually with songs that capture the winter spirit. The first gift this year was a digital single titled 'Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)', released on November 29th, which showcased V's love for jazz. His taste is also evident in the upcoming 'White Christmas (with V of BTS)', which will be released globally on December 6th at 2 PM.
