Winter Ahead holds the biggest debut for a jazz song in spotify history 🔥🔥SHE was HIM 😭 the sculpture was him!!! KIM TAEHYUNG'S MUSIC isn't just simply music, it's a whole fxcking novel! crying with tears in his eyes is art and he did it effortlessly!! The same mark on taehyung , woman & the sculpture showcasing how he conjured up everything ,The dark persona reminiscent of this fact And what stood out to me most was how perfectly Taehyung emoted the moment of realisation . Just brilliant !! the moment when realization hits taehyung. none of it was real. a fantasy inside a fantasy, dreamt up by a solitary artist who confronts himself at the end. and as he cries, he also smiles. because even if false, his dreams were still so very beautiful. and he was so happy. the version in front of him bleeds from a cracked head and we see glimpses of cracked sculpture heads in his workshop. this too is him then. both are him. none more real than the other. the cynic and the romantic. the darkness and the light...KING
Taehyung’s versatility is one of his defining traits & what makes him such a standout artist in the 21st century.He seamlessly moves between genres while maintaining his unique identity. His artistry goes beyond the conventional boundaries of K-pop,showing his desire to explore & create music that feels authentic and deeply personal. What sets him apart is how effortlessly he conveys emotion. Whether it’s the yearning in For Us, the introspection in Blue, or the seasonal melancholy in Winter Ahead, his voice carries a timeless quality. His ability to blend vintage sounds with modern elements reflects his appreciation for music’s history while pushing its boundaries forward. In an era where many artists rely heavily on trends, Taehyung dares to create music that prioritizes depth, emotion, and storytelling... everything
the teary eyes and vulnerable expression... the subtle villain smirk... the aura... ACT KIM TAEHYUNG !! I'm speechless. I don't have words to describe this masterpiece that Taehyung has made.! He sculpted a woman, embodying his softness, kindness, and innocence. This creation led him to a realization: it wasn't about the woman but about his own self. Ultimately, he found peace in his reality.! I remember RM saying in one of their BE-hind stories: "Kim Taehyung the man who rejects what's normal" and this really shows how unique he is.. His voice is like slow waves washing down the seashore, it's so calm yet deep.. KING V
Мне много лет, но лучшего клипа в своей жизни я не видела. Клип смотрится как полномасштабный фильм, а трактовать его каждый может в соответствии со своими чувствами и знаниями. Сейчас многие даже не слышали никогда имен Пигмалион и Галатея и требуют подробной расшифровки происходящего. Клип заставляет думать, уже одно это ставит его на высший уровень. Это далеко от к-попа, это настоящее искусство и Тэхен его создатель.
Today is a very sad day, the eighth member of BTS ... Yeontan " V's dog" left this world and I can't even believe it and my heart is broken and I cried so hard..I can't even imagine taehyung is dealing with this..i really really really hope taehyung was able to say goodbye.. 💔 My heart hurts so much when I remember Taehyung when he said: “I wish he cld tell me whenever he felt sick or unwell” to those who may not know, tae mentioned that tannie had an issue with his hind legs and also breathing difficulties,before adopting Tannie, Taehyung knew he had health issues. he spent half a year studying about dogs and seeking advice from dog trainers. he gave him the best life possible! Tae truly was the best dog dad! ,Taehyung chose Yeontan as the cover of his first album as a solo artist and Taehyung chose Yeontan as the cover of his Christmas song And also appearing with him on stage in his promotions and performances. Taehyung tried to share every moment with him so that it would remain a memory for him and us and Taehyung made sure that he would be remembered everywhere because he wanted Yeontan to be in our hearts forever. We all love her so much and will remember her For a long time. She is in our memories as Taehyung's heart and we will be forever grateful for the beautiful influence she had on his life. And most importantly Yeontan, thank you for all these years.. RIP YEONTAN 🕊
This honestly...breaks my heart in so many ways... I know this pain all to well and it really effects me thinking of Tae going through it. I hope he has comfort in these raw times... I will be thinking of them both... RIP Yeontan... :(
Not many are pointing out the last scene where V is wearing a white shimmery top. This may symbolize him being free from darkness (vs V in menacing black jacket) nor passing life (vs V in red jacket/cardigan). It’s just himself in the end, glistening in paradise.
Ohhhhh good eye! These boys have a flair for the symbolism in art, and what I love is that it speaks to each and every one of us in its own way. AH I love a creative mind!
Always! V honestly sets me right with his voice I could be having a horrible day... get some V going. I'm super chill now. I wanna get to know Park Hyoshin also! Time for another rabbithole lol
V the sculptor created an image of himself, V the statue or the sculpture. V sculptor must be projecting his own desires to live be with someone in his V statue. Or he could be a loner, seeking to live/happiness but doesn’t know how. This desire breathed life to his creation. Thus, when the V statue came to life, he also desired to be with someone and created a female statue (and maybe many others) and breathed life to her. The V sculpture lived the life, ie, going around, feeling the wind, being awed by other lives (like the butterfly), dancing, partying, celebrating, loving a girl. But that will end as he faced his creator later and realized he was not real, thus the heartbreaking sadness and acceptance in V’s eyes in the last scene. This is when you see the girl disappearing and even his face in the mirror partly turning into stone. The sculptor V is bloodied. This may represent his own brokenness, or relate to the scene where he was angry and frustrated and took such anger on his scuplture of V thus scraping that part of his face under his eye, and breaking him. It can also be theorized that when sculptor V broke the V statue, this instead gave life to the statue while the sculptor sustained the brokenness or injuries, sort of opposite effect. Or these could all just be a part of the sculptor’s dreams. Teaser 1 represents the darkness in his life. Teaser 2 is his daydream of a happier life, although it will end like any other dream, and he will go back to reality. Also the dark jacket and heavy footsteps may represent the darkness in the sculptor’s life, while the red jacket and whitish colors may symbolize life and lightness. The dark jacket V can also be the repre V sentation of Winter- when it is cold, dark and can bring a heavy feeling. For me there are both biblical and mythological elements in the storyline. And many ways to interpret or solve the puzzle. Sufficing to say, V succeeded in engaging us all to thinking and discoursing about all these. This is what I think at least. Right or wrong, the MV is brilliant. It evokes many thoughts even after watching the MV, and has real depth. V’s acting is so effective. I can still feel sadness for his character seeing his expressions. V’s vocal harmony with PH is also superb and magical! V’s visual is unparalleled throughout the video. This MV and song are masterpieces that not just anyone can put together. Kudos to PH and as for V, he really is Korea’s best talent and treasure!
Something crazy just came to my mind. Here the theory: In the last scene, the statue Taehyung made from his shoulder is a man (probably himself). But instead of making him, he turns him into a woman and uses her to make him happy. But in fact, what he needed was himself. That's why he confronts himself in a wounded way.
This MV is a masterpiece! The shortest 6 minutes of my life. You get so immersed in the music and in the visuals that you don’t even realize how long the mv is. He is a genius, he is pure art. I am so proud of him! His perfect vocals matches this type of song so well. I want a whole album now 😅🥹 About the MV, the company released an official statement saying it is based on the myth of Pygmalion. It is a greek story about a sculptor that creates the sculpture of his ideal woman, he falls in love and then he asks Aphrodite to bring her to life. V did it with his own spin and plot twist and it was just brilliant. She is not him, she is his creation. I think one of the plot twist here is that the one in red was also his creation, he was also the perfect version of himself. It’s like he created a perfect version of himself to try and be happy and to love her the right way or something like that. I also thought that the 2 V’s could actually represent him as V , the idol, and them as Kim taehyung. There are a lot of shots of him in the stage and then in the audience. So I think it could also be about him trying to find the balance between these two sides of him. How can they coexist? 🧐 There are so many layers! He really outdid himself with this one! ❤
I adore the song but no one is mentioning Hyo Shin in the comments, this a beautiful duet and he also deserves some love, V's voice is as always magical ... comment on how both have devine voices please, show some christmas love ...
Recovery has happened over here. I was a mess 🫠 I love situations like this because it actually challenges my ear as a listener. Makes me think! That's the joy of GOOD MUSIC
I suggest you watch other official MV called Cinematic Still Ver. It's just Tae and Hyo Shin singing the song without the confusing storyline. It's like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby singing over dinner, it's fabulous!

태형이는 이시대 최고의 아티스트이고 창의적인 예술가입니다. 뮤직비디오를 반복적으로 보면 노래가 너무 더 와 닿고 좋아요!!
V era. Jazz has finally returned. V has come. Wiped the whole place clean.
the teary eyes and vulnerable expression... the subtle villain smirk... the aura... ACT KIM TAEHYUNG !! I'm speechless. I don't have words to describe this masterpiece that Taehyung has made.!

Техеееен ты самый лучший и друзья твои самые лучшие и талантливые 🥰 обожаю тебя❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
История греческого Бога Пигмалеона и Галатеи очень красиво раскрыта в этой песне.Но Тэхен, есть Тэхен с своими загадками.Песня просто шедевр.
I had that's same vibe.. very Greek god like! Tae Tae really takes these themes and works them as his very own in the film?...oh right... MV hahahah!

You are so correct. I am an elder also and this is truly my favorite of all time. This man is so truly gifted.
KING Kim Taehyung is the BEST EVER SINSE
Me encanto el concepto de manejaste de este tema mysical. V&park hyo shing tienen voces muy sublimes.. Gracias
Thank you so much for watching 💜💜💜💜
No one said this was a Christmas song...😏
But on Dec. 6 we'll get White Christmas with Bing Crosby
I think the name... sounds of the song really set it up as one for me 😅🤣🤣🤣
Im always happy for a good mind F*** 🫠

I got PERSONA era vibes of the Id and ego parts of the person mixed with the pygmalian myth
hi thank you for your reaction, v is my bias. he was so amazing right🥺💜
Thanks for your reactions, V voice is amazing and Park hyoshin too
Always! V honestly sets me right with his voice
I could be having a horrible day... get some V going. I'm super chill now.

Прочтите легенду про Пигмалеона и Галатею. Здесь ещё V лучшая копия самого скульптура. Галатея и его друг они оба статуи, помеченные его знаком Х.

It wasn't a Christmas video it was described as a romantic song.
That it definitely was!

It's a V's at his best sining jazz he's a real lover of jazz and goes to jazz clubs.
I adore the song but no one is mentioning Hyo Shin in the comments, this a beautiful duet and he also deserves some love, V's voice is as always magical ... comment on how both have devine voices please, show some christmas love ...
Actually I loved that timber in his voice so much that I will actually be checking him out very soon here! Would love to see what hes got!
I lost too...but I love music
Recovery has happened over here. I was a mess 🫠 I love situations like this because it actually challenges my ear as a listener. Makes me think! That's the joy of GOOD MUSIC
Music and Mv are art
1000%
I suggest you watch other official MV called Cinematic Still Ver. It's just Tae and Hyo Shin singing the song without the confusing storyline. It's like Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby singing over dinner, it's fabulous!
Im for sure on it!
Yes, the song has duality. MV 2 shows it's other character.
He is both the artist making the statues and a statue himself and someone is breaking the statues and people leave.
I miss your V and BTS reactions tbh
Miss no longer! I have many more coming up! Lots of JIN coming soon!
