After announcing a team-up earlier this week, BTS and Bing Crosby have officially confirmed the collaboration and shared the artwork with the caption “White Christmas – V & Bing Crosby, December 6, 2:00 PM (KST) | 12:00 a.m. (ET)” published.

If you're wondering who the dog is, that would be V's beloved Pomeranian, Tannie.

Fans were quick to express their excitement, with one commenting: “HELLO WE'RE SO READY.” “This is going to be so good guys,” said another.

K-pop idol V previously reported on “It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas” last year; Bing had published his version of the title in 1951.

In a statement, V said, “I'm so grateful to have had the chance to be featured on a song with my favorite jazz artist of all time, Bing Crosby.”

“I grew up listening to his song “It's Been a Long, Long Time” countless times a day, and I feel incredibly lucky and honored to have sung along to “White Christmas” in the voice of someone I consider Idol hold.”

So far, four festive LPs from Crosby's have appeared in the charts in Great Britain: “White Christmas” (45) from 1974, “Christmas With Bing Crosby” (66) from 1991, “Christmas Classics” (18) from 1991 2019 and the compilation “The Voice Of Christmas – The Complete Decca Christmas Songbook” from 2020 ( 67).

Bing's version of “White Christmas” reached its current No. 5 peak in 1977.

As a member of BTS alongside Jin, SUGA, j-hope, RN, Jimin and Jung Kook, V's achieved nine top 40 singles and eight top 40 albums, including chart-toppers MAP OF THE SOUL: PERSONA (2019) and MAP OF THE SOUL: 7 (2020).
