Music Critic's Review Of BTS V's Upcoming Solo Album Raises Eyebrows

A music critic gave an early review of BTS V‘s upcoming solo album.

Recently, music critic Kim Young Dae spoke about the momentous project during his 2023 ACC Lecture.

It’s reported that as soon as the critic mentioned V, the whole lecture hall broke out in surprise. The critic then gave a brief teaser to what fans can expect.

Because of the label, I can’t give you specifics. But I think you’ll be surprised.

The critic then expanded, stating that the project may redefine V as a vocalist.

I think it’s safe to say this is a re-discovery of V as a vocalist. Of course, V’s signature colors are there, but you might be surprised how he uses them.

Kim Young Dae then stated that “First, the music is really good. V has a charismatic voice, but in BTS songs, he is often given a particular role. On this album, he was given more freedom. It’s very natural.”

Netizens wrote in the comments how much they were anticipating V’s album while thanking the critic for his review.

“My curiosity is driving me crazy… I’m shaking. Taehyung is finally displaying his talents after years. Kim Taehyung doesn’t need a famous foreign producer or famous artist to collab with him.”
“Taehyung’s album is going to shine. It’s going to shake the world. Everyone get ready!!”
“Sigh… This is such a good lecture. You entertainingly presented the history that ARMYs are making. I still remember what I felt when I first listened to ‘Young Forever.'”
“Kim Young Dae, your lectures are really great. Time flew by while listening to it. I purple you.”
“Thank you, Kim Young Dae. I enjoyed listening to you!!”
“I enjoyed listening to it. Thank you.”
“The lecture was even better in person! I enjoyed your lecture today, thank you.”

Meanwhile, BTS V’s solo album will reportedly be dropping in the third quarter of 2023. You can listen to Kim Young Dae’s lecture in full below.
