Fans who were paying close attention to the short video spotted a newspaper article regarding Layover, BTS’s debut album, written by V. It had six tracks and was released on September 8, 2023, by Big Hit Music.

During that period, the agency further posted an R&B album press release on Weverse, a social networking platform in South Korea. Taehyung has also posted concept photos for FRI(END)S. In the concept photos, Taehyung looks so hot with his eyebrow piercing.

The fans’ connections quickly went viral online, leading many to believe that a trilogy was in the works. Apparently, there was some sort of relationship between Layover and FRI(END)S, and he was planning to drop another album or single soon.

Fans speculated that the new single would pick up where the debut album left off, with some even going so far as to call V, of BTS, a “genius storyteller” when asked for specifics.
