V grew up in Daegu, South Korea, and became known worldwide as a member of BTS before carving out a solo path that leans into his love of jazz, soul, and classic R&B. His deep, unhurried baritone sets him apart in K-pop, and his solo work trades big pop hooks for something softer and more old-fashioned. Songs like "Singularity" and "Sweet Night" had already shown that side of him before he made a full record of his own.

Layover (2023). His first solo release, and it sounds like nobody else in K-pop: slow, jazzy R&B built around his low voice. "Slow Dancing" and "Rainy Days" are the heart of it, and "Love Me Again" sets the mood right at the top.
