V of the group BTS will release his first solo album in partnership with executive producer Min Hee-jin, who created the group New Jins.
Big Hit Music said on the 2nd that V is now speeding up his work on his first solo album, and at V's suggestion, general producer Min Hee-jin will lead the overall production of the album, including music, choreography, design and promotion.
Min Hee-jin is the CEO and executive producer of ADOR, a label under HYBE, and was recognized for her skills by making Newjeans a popular girl group within a year of her debut. A former SM Entertainment, she is currently considered one of the most influential figures in K-pop and the domestic entertainment industry.
Min Hee-jin, general producer, said, "I received an offer late last year. "At first, I hesitated because of the schedule, but I was interested in V's attitude, passion, and his tone that I didn't know well," he said, explaining the reason for the acceptance. He went on to say, "I prepared the music that I want to suggest at the same time, reflecting V's taste. Rather than familiar styles, we focused on the music we want to do and the music we can digest well. "I've been so busy, but I think I've got an interesting work," he explained about the new album.
V said, "I'm nervous but happy. It's an album that contains my taste. There will be plenty to see. We prepared this thinking that ARMY will be happy, so please look forward to it. You will be able to see a new side of solo artist V, which is different from BTS V," he said.
V, BTS's last soloist, has been struggling to make a musically valuable album as it is an official solo album released under his name. In addition to capturing musical achievements, he has been constantly considering album planning, concept, and song composition so that it can be a gift-like album for fans. Meanwhile, CEO Min Hee-jin, who is currently attracting attention as the best producer in the K-pop scene, was asked to "politely" take charge of producing his solo album, and CEO Min Hee-jin also decided to participate in V's solo album after much consideration.
In fact, when V's plan to release a solo album became known, renowned producers from all over the world sent V a love call. If you work with V, the success of the song is guaranteed, and the producer's own value and recognition can be increased. Nevertheless, V shook off numerous love calls and asked CEO Min Hee-jin to produce because he wanted to show his potential capabilities that he had never shown before. It is rumored that V's expectation and trust in the sense and pioneering vision of CEO Min Hee-jin, who made the group Newjeans a K-pop star in a year, and presented a new paradigm in the music industry, were significant.
Attention is focusing on what kind of music and charm V, who holds the hand of CEO Min Hee-jin, will show through this album. In the meantime, V has shown his musical capabilities by releasing solo songs "Stigma" and self-composed songs "Blue and Gray."
V plans to present music that is different from BTS music and different from the previous "solo" V. Earlier, Kim Young-dae, a music critic, mentioned V's solo album in a course, saying, "I listened to V's new album a little bit." Kim Young-dae, a critic, said, "V has an attractive voice. However, in BTS's songs, there is an interpretation in a certain direction, he said. "But in this album, a lot has been released." It's very natural. "If you're curious about the natural V, wait," he said, raising expectations.
