Previously, Geffen Records shared a teaser of snowflakes via social media, adding the hashtag #BTSArmy with a link, leading netizens to sign up for updates. The linked webpage indicated that the recipient would receive updates regarding BTS and Bing Crosby.

Instantly, ARMYs began expecting a holiday collaboration between BTS’s V and the late American singer and actor Bing Crosby.

V is known to be a longtime fan of jazz.

I think it’s a great blessing to be able to be moved by Jazz

— V

He has even been learning more about the genre, including trumpet playing.

Of the many jazz musicians he admires, Bing Crosby is one of V’s favorites.

This is my favorite video [in existence]/the best video of my entire life. And I am now sharing it with you all

— V

For instance, on social media, V posted a clip from the famous “Now You Has Jazz” scene from the 1956 classic film High Society, featuring Bing Crosby and Louis Armstrong. V has even used iconic Bing Crosby song lyrics for his photo captions.

Again, when he released a vlog, V included “It’s Been a Long, Long Time,” sung by Bing Crosby, in his driving playlist.

In the past, the social media accounts created by Bing Crosby’s estate account in memoriam of the late singer, including X (formerly 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 X account. The social media manager took time to reply to some ARMYs’ comments.

At the time, the social media manager even wished V and Bing Crosby could collaborate. At the time, it seemed like a dream.

It’s become a reality now, as Bing Crosby and V’s collaboration has been released.

Today, Bing Crosby’s official YouTube channel released the duet of the beloved holiday song “White Christmas” between the late singer and V. The music video is an animation featuring Bing Crosby and V’s dog, Yeontan, who recently passed.

ARMYs loved the inclusion of Yeontan, knowing he has been immortalized. The MV feels like a tribute to both Yeontan and Bing Crosby.

Yet, another detail made ARMYs especially happy.

In a newly released article, details concerning the production of Bing Crosby and V’s “White Christmas” were released. With the increased reliance on AI (Artificial Intelligence) in media, none was used to make this collaboration despite Bing Crosby’s passing. While he obviously couldn’t record anything new, the producers didn’t rely on AI technology to make the collaboration happen. Instead, they used old recordings.

ARMYs were relieved to hear there was no AI involvement in the project.
