BTS’s V has been confirmed to appear in IU’s upcoming music video ahead of his military enlistment.

IU is currently working on a new album with the aim of releasing it in the first half of next year. Although the exact release date has not been determined, considering V’s scheduled enlistment as an active-duty soldier on the 11th, they expedited the music video shooting to accommodate his schedule.

Previously, V demonstrated a special friendship with IU when he appeared as a guest on IU’s YouTube channel, “Lee Ji-geum,” in September. The two built a unique bond while discussing music, and it was revealed that they have become close enough to address each other informally, gaining attention and becoming a topic of discussion.
