A dream come true: BTS V debuts solo!
K-Pop Blog > News> V / BTS
One after the other it goes on: Only three weeks ago BTS Jungkook made his solo debut with the digital single 'Seven' and now his bandmate is waiting in the wings: Kim Taehyung, who is known to fans worldwide under his stage name "V", announced his first solo album "Layover" today and also revealed details already!
The album will be released on September 8th.
"Layover" is a mini album with six songs, which Big Hit has briefly introduced on Weverse:
V blends his voice with rain sounds in "Rainy Days", presents an old-school twist in "Blue", displays a captivating R&B vibe in "Love Me Again", and highlights the romantic soul style of the '70s in the title track "Slow Dancing". The album also includes the pop-R&B song "For Us" and a piano version of "Slow Dancing".
And the best part is that each song will have its own music video! V's solo album already promises to be a highlight of the year!
You can bring this highlight to your home very soon: V has already unveiled four different versions, which you can pre-order starting today. Furthermore, almost all versions are also available with additional Weverse Gift. Read to the end so you don't miss anything!
First up are the three standard versions: VER. 1 (Green), VER. 2 (Blue) and VER. 3 (Purple)
At first glance they look very similar, but as you will see, they are very varied. Each version consists of a brown box that looks like a package.
When you open this package, you will find, among other things, two photo books. The photo book A with 124 pages and photo book B with 20 pages. Photo book A differs in each version and always has different photos to offer, while photo book B is always the same. In addition, you get a lyric book, a CD, a checklist with 100 pages and a letter. These contents are also the same in all three versions.
But the postcards, photo cards and poster are different! Each album contains two postcards, five photo cards and a poster. Nothing is left to chance here, because you get the full set of both the postcards and the photo cards.
If you buy the set with all three versions, you will get 15 different photo cards, six different postcards and three different posters. A dream for every collector!
Will you get the set?
Alternatively, you can also find the variant + Weverse Gift separately in our store.
There you get one of three possible transparent card holders for each album.
Here it's especially worthwhile to get all three versions because if you choose the set, you'll not only get all three transparent card holders, but also one of two photo cards and one of two hologram photo frames!
Before you go, be sure to check out the Weverse Albums version:
Buyers of the Weverse Albums version also get a box, although it's a lot smaller than the standard versions. It contains a 64-page photo book, a 16-page lyric book, a photo card set and a QR card. Again, the photo card set consists of five cards.
The QR card, of course, primarily shows the QR code that you can use to access digital content such as the songs, among other things. Printed on the QR card and on the box is the face of a dog. This is none other than V's own dog Yeontan!
Yeontan also makes one or two appearances in the photo books. Overall, V looks very relaxed and easy-going in the photos we can see in the album preview. The singer rarely appears like this in the photo books of BTS albums. This makes Layover even more of a highlight in your collection!
If you want all four versions, you should check out the Set + Weverse Gift.
This includes the three standard versions and the Weverse Albums version.
Plus, you get a few exclusive Weverse Gifts to go along with it:
Three clear card holders, one of two photo cards, one of two hologram photo frames, one photo card L-holder and one of two clear photo cards.
Don't delay too long if you want to secure all these extras!
It's still almost a month away, but V is sure to release plenty of teasers in the coming weeks to keep us entertained while we wait.
V is only now making his official solo debut, but in the past few years the singer has already released own songs.
These include covers like his interpretation of "Someone Like You" (Adele) or soundtracks like "Sweet Night" for the K-drama Itaewon Class.
In addition, like his band members, V has also released solo songs on BTS albums. An example of this is "Singularity" on the BTS album "Love Yourself: Tear".
V enchants fans in all these works with his deep voice and makes them want more. So an album of his own is long overdue!
