V of BTS to Appear in IU's New Music Video

The K-pop community is abuzz with excitement as BTS member V is confirmed to appear in IU‘s upcoming music video. This collaboration is part of the female soloist’s new album, her first release in two years since Pieces in late 2021. Her previous releases were all well-received, setting high expectations for this new project.

While the exact release date of IU‘s album remains under wraps, the music video was filmed ahead of time to accommodate V‘s schedule. V began his military service on December 11 KST. Recently, it was announced that BTS members RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook would be enlisting in the military. This music video is one of his last projects before his enlistment.

It was previously reported that he signed up to join the Special Duty Team (SDT) of the Army’s Capital Defense Command for his military service. The SDT is an elite military police unit involved in counter-terrorism.

V and IU blended well together

V and IU showed off their close friendship when V appeared on the YouTube show IU’s Palette. He appeared on the show to promote his debut solo album Layover, released on September 8. At first, both artists addressed each other formally while filming the episode. Eventually, they transitioned to a more casual manner of speaking.

The episode featured musical performances. They sang each other’s songs, with V singing his track “Slow Dancing” and both doing a duet of IU‘s track “Ending Switch.” V also danced along to IU‘s rendition of his track “Love Me Again.” Fans of both IU and V were delighted with the episode. They praised the two for blending well on their duet, their candid interactions, and their energy.

This marks IU‘s second collaboration with a BTS member, following her previous work with SUGA, another member of BTS. They worked on tracks like “Eight” and SUGA‘s “People Pt. 2.” The combination of IU‘s musical prowess and V‘s charismatic presence is set to make this music video a notable event in the K-pop world. – K-Pop News Writer
