When BTS and Coldplay collaborated on the monumental single “My Universe,” it rocked the world. Live performances and plenty of content for fans of both groups have been commonplace since then thanks to the collaboration between the two groups!
The announcement of the partnership was a significant deal for ARMYs at the time. This was especially significant for the band members, as many of them had previously expressed their undying devotion to Coldplay.
Specifically, member V is someone who has never been shy about expressing their devotion to the band! V has stated his desire to collaborate with the group from the beginning, long before arrangements for the song were considered.
“When the vocal guide demo came out in english, I sang it from beginning to end. The Cokdplay members listened & complimented me saying I was like the second Chris Martin” – Kim Taehyung

In an interview with Vogue Korea, BTS members opened up about their careers, including their experiences with Coldplay. During his interview, V discussed a private, meaningful moment from behind the scenes that he didn’t want people to know about. Apparently, he had sang the entire demo version of the song, he said.
Below is the tweet by an X user about the Vogue Korea interview with Taehyung:

Chris Martin has spoken highly of V and his singing abilities before. In the aftermath of the song’s release, BTS made available several deleted scenes from the studio sessions.
There was one exchange in particular that ARMYs couldn’t get enough of involving Chris Martin and the members. No matter how hard Chris Martin tried to sing the identical section in Korean, the joy on his face was evident while V recorded his portion.
The emotion of Chris once V completed filming his segment, though, was what really moved ARMYs. Chris couldn’t help but shower V with praise whenever he repeated his statement, even going so far as to say, “Yeah, that was perfect.”
My Universe is one of the Top Charting K-pop song:

V was understandably overjoyed to receive such glowing reviews from Coldplay’s members on two separate occasions, given his immense devotion to the band. Sometime soon, Coldplay or BTS should release a demo version featuring V’s vocals.
Taehyung is also going to release his new digital single album FRI(END)S. Taehyung decided on the pink theme for his new album. His new album FRI(END)S will be released on 15 March. Fans are very excited about his new album as the singer is in the military but he still manages to make fans happy.
