BTS's V is set to unveil his debut solo album 'Layover', brimming with fresh allure.

At 1 PM KST on September 8 (KST), V will globally release his solo album 'Layover'. While V has previously showcased his musical prowess through solo tracks in BTS albums, free music releases, and drama OSTs, this is his first solo album under his own name.

The album title 'Layover' translates to 'making a brief stop', symbolizing a moment to pause, reflect on the journey so far, and reaffirm the final destination. Through this debut solo album, V aims to reveal a new side of himself.

In a statement via Big Hit Music, V shared, "As the last member to embark on solo activities after the others' successful ventures, I feel a great deal of pressure. However, I'm eager to gradually show everything I've prepared." He further described 'Layover' as an album that encapsulates the charm of Kim Taehyung (his real name), highlighting its uniqueness, surprise, and relaxation.

Simple Yet Refreshing

'Layover' is an album based on the pop R&B genre, blending V's unique style and sentiment. It includes the title track 'Slow Dancing', pre-released tracks 'Rainy Days' and 'Love Me Again', as well as 'Blue', 'For Us', and a bonus track 'Slow Dancing' (Piano Ver.), totaling six songs. The album reflects V's personal tastes and preferences.

Notably, 'Layover' was overseen by ADOR's representative and chief producer Min Heejin, who directed the music, choreography, design, and promotion of the album. Min Heejin focused on the simplicity behind the flamboyance, seamlessly integrating V's natural charm into the music. The result is an album that truly centers on V's unique voice and intrinsic color.
