V has many jazz musicians he admires. Yet, there’s one he has frequently expressed his love for. It’s none other than American singer and actor Bing Crosby.

Again, V showed his admiration for the musician during his recent vlog. In his driving playlist, he featured “It’s Been a Long, Long Time,” sung by Bing Crosby.
Bing Crosby’s estate took notice.
The social media accounts created by his estate account in memoriam of Bing Crosby, including Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram, all shared the clip of V listening to “It’s Been a Long, Long Time.”
Additionally, the account followed V’s personal account on Instagram.
The video of V was even pinned on the Twitter account.

The social media manager even took time to reply to some comments from ARMYs. They said they believed Bing Crosby would be ARMY if he were still alive today.
Bing would be a part of the #BTSARMY for sure 🫰 https://t.co/e3h6AfjYct

They also couldn’t help but wish that V and Bing Crosby could collab. We can dream, at least.
Agreed! Anything is possible 👀 #BTSARMY https://t.co/4p9hVC4hcK

While V can’t technically be noticed by his idol (he passed in 1977), it’s still awesome that Crosby’s estate is recognizing him!
