BTS' V, UMI collaborate on 'wherever u r'
MANILA, Philippines — Kim Taehyung or V from the Korean boy band BTS and American-Japanese R&B singer-songwriter UMI have collaborated for latter's latest single "wherever u r."
This as V is now in the early stages of Korea's mandatory military service having officially enlisted a few weeks ago.
The song dropped on December 30, just as V marked his 28th birthday.
Both artists had teased the arrival of their collaboration with snippets of "wherever u r" and the appreciation of each other's own music.
"V and UMI enjoyed listening to one another's music [before working together on this song]," said BTS' label Bighit Music. "Through this collaboration, the two of them conveyed the messages they wanted to tell their fans through music."
Apart from a lyric video, UMI also shared a video of herself and V singing along to their first-ever collab project.
