Anyone who knows V knows that he is a massive fan of jazz.
CD! There are so many jazz songs I want to recommend but I don’t know the song titles..
— V
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.

V has many jazz musicians he admires, but Bing Crosby is one of his 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.

Like how ARMYs often use BTS lyrics for captions, V has also used iconic Bing Crosby song lyrics for his photo captions.

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

Bing would be a part of the #BTSARMY for sure 🫰 https://t.co/e3h6AfjYct

At the time, they even wished V and Bing Crosby could collaborate. While it seemed like just a dream, it will soon be a reality!
Agreed! Anything is possible 👀 #BTSARMY https://t.co/4p9hVC4hcK

While V couldn’t be noticed or meet his idol (Bing Crosby passed in 1977), it’s so awesome that Crosby’s estate has shown V so much love to him that we are somehow still getting a collaboraton.
Previously, V released a cover of “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” which was recorded by many artists, but Bing Crosby’s 1951 version has been widely popular.
