Last year, V had shared what happened to his older unreleased solo material, saying that he has since “shelved all those songs and I’m writing new ones”. Earlier in 2022, the singer said that his solo mixtape would be released “within the year”, although that did not come to fruition in the end.
In 2021, the BTS singer had also teased his long-awaited solo mixtape, saying that he had been looking to release it by “the end of this year”. The singer also touched on why the mixtape was taking so long, saying it “turned out to be [much] harder and more complex than I imagined that it would be”.
In December 2022, V released a cover of the festive classic ‘It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas’. In the holiday season prior, he dropped the song ‘Christmas Tree’ for the soundtrack of the K-drama Our Beloved Summer.
