BTS (Bangtan Sonyeondan)'s V's human side is again attracting attention through testimonies from the filming staff in France. Recently, through TikTok, episodes from the filming site shared directly by staff who worked with V have become a hot topic. Mr. A participated as part of the production team in the music video shoot for V's digital single 'Winter Ahead' held in November 2022 at a large mansion in the Versailles region of France. According to Mr. A, when V entered the waiting room during a break, he politely declined the staff's consideration to give up their seat, saying, 'It's okay to stand,' with a smile. Mr. A stated, 'It was not just a social nicety, but a natural behavior ingrained in him,' and conveyed that he was a polite person to all staff. V also made efforts to communicate with the French cast. When extras showed signs of fatigue during repeated dance shoots, he asked the staff for encouraging phrases in French to uplift the atmosphere on set. 'Winter Ahead,' released on November 29, 2024, is a jazz-pop duet track. The song embodies V's wish for ARMY (BTS fans) both in Korea and abroad to have a happy winter. After its release, it entered the US Billboard's main single chart 'HOT100' and recorded first place on the 'Holiday Digital Song Sales' chart and 62nd on the 'Holiday Top 100' chart.
