V of BTS has captured the hearts of listeners worldwide with his sweet confession song.

On the 15th, V released his new digital single ‘FRI(END)S’ on domestic and international music sites. This song topped the iTunes Top Songs charts in 87 countries/regions worldwide.

Moreover, ‘FRI(END)S’ also reached No. 1 on the ‘Worldwide iTunes Song’ and ‘European iTunes Song’ charts. With his sweet voice, V accurately targeted fans both in Korea and abroad.

The music video also received a hot response. Immediately after its release, it dominated the upper ranks of YouTube’s ‘Trending Music’ in various countries/regions. As of 10:30 AM today, it has surpassed 7 million views.

‘FRI(END)S’ is a sweet confession song that matches the pink spring. It’s a pop soul R&B genre. The song confesses the desire to evolve from friends to more significant relationships.

V has infused the song with his unique character and emotion. The sweet lyrics, melodious melody, and V’s voice that switches between low and falsetto create a fantastic harmony.

The music video forms a relatable story by spotlighting the everyday lives of ‘solo’ and ‘couple’, two contrasting situations. It presents the common theme of ‘from friends to lovers’ in an unordinary manner.

V’s nuanced acting stands out. He plays characters in different situations when alone and as a couple, expressing the characters in the video three-dimensionally through changes in gaze, expression, and style.

Meanwhile, a fan event ‘FRIENDS Party’ will be held at a cafe in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on the 16th, offering fans more ways to enjoy the new song.
