"Winter Ahead" transformed into a jazz track

BTS's V and Park Hyo Shin's duet song "Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)" is being transformed into a jazz track.

On the afternoon of the 20th, the jazz version titled "Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN): Yoon Seok Cheol Trio Ver." will be released. 

Yoon Seok Cheol Trio, one of Korea's leading jazz musicians, contributed to the arrangement, adding a richer jazz melody to the track. The trio incorporated new accompaniments, adding piano, bass, and rhythm instruments to give the song a jazzy vibe. Listening to the instruments played by Yoon Seok Cheol Trio gives the feeling of enjoying a live performance.

At the same time, a visualizer video will be released on BTS's YouTube channel, featuring V dancing to the jazz melody. His stunning visuals, moving to the rhythm in a romantic atmosphere, are expected to captivate the hearts of fans worldwide once again.

Meanwhile, "Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)," which was released on November 29, has been sweeping global year-end charts. The song entered the Billboard Hot 100 at No. 99 on the December 14 chart and ranked No. 1 on the "Holiday Digital Song Sales" chart, as well as No. 62 on the "Holiday Top 100." It was also selected as one of "The 27 Best Winter Songs for the Season" by Billboard.
