K-Pop 4th-Gen Kings! Stray Kids' First Dome Tour in Japan Sells Out in Minutes

BTS' V is working with Min Heejin for his first solo album: “I'm nervous but I'm happy. It's an album that contains my taste.”

It is reported that V will release his first solo album under Min Heejin's production. V is the last member of BTS to release a solo album. It was also said that the member will do his solo activities full-time while the group is on hiatus. This special collaboration was V's idea too. Min Heejin is the CEO and the ADOR's executive producer, she's also the one who led NewJeans' overall album production, including music, choreography, design, and promotions. She has presented a new paradigm in K-Pop. With the success of NewJeans, she is considered as one of the most influential figures in the entertainment industry. Expectations are high as V will also be involved in his solo album, it was said that this will be different from his image when he was promoting with BTS. The start of their collaboration dates back to last year. V, who was planning his solo album, sent a love call to Min Hee-jin first, and Min Hee-jin accepted it after a long time of consideration, completing the dream team for his solo album. Min Heejin said that she received the offer late last year. “At first, I hesitated because of the schedule, but I was interested in V's attitude, passion, and tone that I didn't know well,” Min explained why she accepted V's offer. Min Heejin wants everyone to pay attention to V's music, she also added that she prepared the music that reflects the idol's taste. V and Min Heejin focused on the music style that they want to do rather than familiar styles. It is said that the album will have a wide range of music, ranging from dance, hip-hop, and ballads to jazz and R&B. V's past solo songs such as Stigma, Singularity, and Inner Child have showcased his unique husky and soft tone. He also showed his outstanding ability in writing and composing through his songs, Winter Bear, Blue & Grey, Snow Flower, and many more. He also participated in singing drama OST such as Hwarang and Itaewon Class. V chose Min Heejin as the right person to pull out his most conceptual color and is expected to come out with an unexpected album full of freshness. “I'm nervous but I'm happy. It's an album that contains my taste. There will be a lot of things to look forward to. I prepared it thinking that ARMY will be happy, so I hope you look forward to it. You will be able to see a new side of solo artist V, which is different from BTS V,” he said with confidence. V's solo album is said to be in the final stages. According to his agency, Big Hit Music, the details such as the release date of V's solo album will be released soon.
