BTS's Jungkook Delivers a Heartwarming Holiday Gift with 'The Christmas Song' Cover

BTS member Jungkook has delivered a special year-end gift to fans.

On December 24th, at midnight, Jungkook released a cover video of American singer-songwriter Johnny Stimson's 'The Christmas Song' on BTS's official SoundCloud and YouTube channels. Jungkook expressed his desire to gift warmth to ARMY (the fandom name) as the year comes to a close. The video is particularly special as Jungkook filmed it himself, blending the beautiful nightscape of Seoul with his soothing voice to capture the essence of a winter night.

'The Christmas Song' is a track that embodies the warm sentiments of the holiday season. Originally released by jazz vocalist Nat King Cole, it was reinterpreted by Johnny Stimson in December 2020. Jungkook has infused his own emotions into Stimson's version.

Previously, Jungkook has covered a variety of songs, including Harry Styles' 'Falling', '10,000 Hours' by Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber, IU's 'Ending Scene', and Roy Kim's 'Only Then'. He has also showcased his wide musical spectrum by hosting karaoke-style broadcasts on the global fan platform Weverse, where he takes song requests from fans and performs them on the spot.

BTS, the group Jungkook is part of, is set to release a new album and embark on a large-scale world tour next spring.
