Prior to this, these songs were only previously available on Youtube and SoundCloud.
V released his first self-composed track “Scenery” in January 2019, followed by his first English song “Winter Bear” later that year.
During the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, V prepared the track “Snow Flower’‘ as a Christmas gift to his fans. “Snow Flower” also featured rapper and V’s close friend, Peakboy.

Unsurprisingly, ARMYs are ecstatic that several of V’s solo songs are now on official streaming platforms.
“I feel happy, I feel blessed. These songs always make me feel warm inside and I am glad that they are finally available on streaming platforms”, one fan wrote.
Meanwhile, others’ comments varied from: “Been waiting forever for this” to “I used to dream of days like this.”
