On December 1, 2024, BTS' Kim Taehyung, who is known by his stage name V, posted on Weverse, wishing a joyful winter to his fans. The Grammy-nominated musician asked fans whether they understood the story behind the Winter Ahead MV—his latest digital single release.
However, fans noticed that the Love Me Again singer-songwriter subtly hinted at having more content to release in the near future. He wrote:
"Did you see the behind story? But did you all understand the story?? I can't log in to Instagram right now.. I can't go in for a while I think everything I filmed is almost done..Have a nice winter. Merry Winter Merry December."
On November 29, 2024, BIGHIT MUSIC dropped the pre-recorded Winter Ahead MV for the unversed. The jazz-inspired English ballad is a collaboration between the BTS singer and Park Hyo-shin.
The BTS fandom, ARMY, flooded social media after the screenshot of the Weverse post went viral online. They emphasized "almost done" and speculated if the artist has more pre-filmed and pre-recorded content to release shortly.
One fan wrote on X:
""Almost done" THAT MEANS THERE'S MORE THINGS?"
Fans clamored on social media speculating whether the BTS singer would release more content or whether Winter Ahead was his last release till his military discharge in June 2025.
"He was so excited to finally share this project with the world omg. I'm so happy. I feel so proud of him, too," one fan said.
"You did great taehyung. Also almost done? Means we got more things lined up damnnnn.. we are genuinely grateful And the mv is a cinematic masterpiece which really brought out tons of theories!!!" another fan said.

BTS' Taehyung wins hearts for his considerate behavior towards his Winter Ahead co-actors
On November 29, 2024, BTS member Kim Taehyung released the highly anticipated music video Winter Ahead. The song has already garnered widespread praise for its musical and cinematic brilliance.
On December 1, a special behind-the-scenes clip of Winter Ahead was released, showcasing the efforts that went into the production. In the footage, Taehyung was seen sharing creative input during the filming process about how he didn't wanna be visible in a scene so that his co-stars could get the limelight.
In another moment from Winter Ahead's behind-the-scenes video, fans observed that BTS' V immediately wrapped his left arm around an old female co-actor to protect her from falling. The scene required him and other background actors to dance to the song. Meanwhile, the old lady lost her balance—seemingly due to accidentally being pushed by another dancer, and stumbled.
Fans lauded BTS' Taehyung for being considerate towards all his co-actors throughout the filming process.
In other news, BTS' V released his debut solo album, Layover, along with its title track, Slow Dancing, on September 8, 2023. He enlisted in the military on December 11, 2023, to serve a mandatory period of 18 months in the Republic of Korea Army till June 2025.
