BTS member V and American singer-songwriter Conan Gray might work together on a new song. This comes after V named Conan as one of his musical inspirations in a past interview. Conan Gray recently responded with excitement, promising to create “the saddest track ever” if they collaborate.
The idea started when BTS did an interview with Rolling Stone in 2020. V mentioned Conan Gray as an artist he admires. Conan found out and quickly shared his reaction on social media. He said he would love to make music with V and even joked about writing an emotional song.
Fans of both artists are now hoping this collaboration happens. Many have shared posts online imagining what a song by V and Conan Gray would sound like. Some say Vโs deep voice would fit perfectly with Conanโs sad, melodic style.
BTS is currently on a break as members complete their mandatory military service in South Korea. Jin and J-Hope have already finished their service. The rest, including V, will return by June 2025. Once all members are back, fans expect new music and possible collaborations.
Conan Gray is known for his emotional songs like Heather and Maniac. His music often talks about love and heartbreak. V, on the other hand, has a soulful voice that works well with different styles. A song combining their talents could be a big hit.
During an old interview, Conan was asked about working with BTS. He said, “I love V so much. I would adore making a song with him. Iโll write the saddest song ever if we get the chance.” He also mentioned wanting to attend a BTS concert but joked about getting tickets.
Fans reacted strongly to this possibility. One fan wrote, “Imagine Vโs voice on a Conan Gray sad boy track??? The world isnโt ready.” Others made memes and edits hoping for the collaboration. Some even suggested starting a petition to make it happen.
BTS members have been busy with solo projects during their military break. V released his album Layover in 2023, which did well on music charts. He also became a brand ambassador for luxury brands like Celine and Cartier. His solo work shows his versatility as an artist.
Conan Gray has also been active in music. His recent songs have been popular on platforms like TikTok. A collaboration with V could bring together two different fan bases, creating even more excitement.
The BTS members are set to reunite fully by June 2025. RM and V will return on June 10, Jimin and Jungkook on June 11, and Suga on June 21. After that, the group is expected to start working on new music together.
While nothing is confirmed yet, fans are keeping their hopes high. A song by V and Conan Gray could be a special project before BTS returns as a full group. The emotional style of Conan mixed with Vโs vocals would make a unique combination.
BTS has a history of successful collaborations with Western artists. They have worked with Halsey, Steve Aoki, and Coldplay in the past. A team-up with Conan Gray would add another big name to their list.
Conan Gray has not given any updates recently about working with V. But his past comments show he is open to the idea. Fans will have to wait and see if the two artists connect once V finishes his military service.
For now, ARMYs (BTS fans) are enjoying the solo work from each member. Jin and J-Hope have already released new music after their discharge. The others are expected to do the same once they return.
