BTS member V took a road trip in a vlog and one of the songs that he listened to was Filipino solo artist Paolo Sandejas’ “Sorry.”
V’s “Ride Vlog” was uploaded on BTS’ BangtanTV YouTube channel on July 9. As of this writing, it has garnered 1.6 million views.
At the start of the vlog, V searched for places to go and he chose Yangpyeong County in Gyeonggi Province, about 45 km from Seoul.
As he started his road trip, he listened to several songs, captioning “Going to play all of my recent favorite songs.”
One of them was Sandejas’ “Sorry,” a song released under Universal Records Philippines in 2020. V also sang along as “Sorry” played in the car.
V also played Antonio Carlos Jobim’s "Wave," Willow Smith’s "Wait a Minute!," Lizzo’s "About Damn Time," Justin Bieber’s "Ghost," Jamie Cullum’s "Uptown Funk,” Chris James’ "The Cool Kid," Adam Levine’s "Good Mood," Daniel Caesar’s "Please Do Not Lean," The Weeknd‘s "Out of Time," Adele’s "Easy On Me," Ed Sheeran’s "Bad Habits," Cautious Clay’s "Swim Home,” The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s "Save Your Tears (Remix)," Switch’s "Love Over And Over Again," Procol Harum’s "A Whiter Shade of Pale," Etta James’ "A Sunday Kind Of Love" and Lavinia Meijer’s "Dances for Harp and Orchestra, L. 103: 2. Danse prof."
During the ride, V stopped by a dentist as he chipped his tooth while eating ice cream.
“I'm not supposed to eat hard food, I'm not supposed to eat hard food but yesterday I didn't expect the ice cream to be that hard. So my tooth is chipped now. So we have to go to the dentist's and then go back on our way,” he said.
V said, “For the past 4 years I've been hesitant and indecisive and now I'm finally doing it so I want to produce everything since I have the opportunity and I'm talking with a lot of directors too. So I'm studying and working hard so ARMY could think it's really high quality.”
Last month, BTS announced that they were taking a break from group activities and focus on their solo activities.
“I have so many things I want to try. So many things I made a list. If I do everything on my list I have to shoot eight music videos. I was like ‘Huh? How did this happen?’ So I narrowed it down to that I have this thing. When I listen to the whole album it has to be ‘Good, good, good,’ ‘Ooh, that's good’ ‘Whoa!’” he said.
V added, “This time the concept design is... I mean, there's a lot more that I want to show now so I realized the album doesn't need to be one genre. I decided to branch out and try new genres. I've always wanted to try so I'm working on a lot of songs right now.”
“So I organized the references and had meetings with some of the directors and who'll shoot the video. But this is the problem. There's only a demo version of the song. I have to start the actual recording but I keep feeling like something's missing so was like ‘later, later.’ I can't present this kind of music to ARMY. I can't. I thought of the photoshoot concept too. Please look forward to it,” he said.
In the end of the vlog, V said, “Yes, I got to do a unique kind of shoot today and it was great. I want to do it again next time. Let's wrap up here. I'm Kim Taehyung who made a video with ARMY for an hour and 2 minutes. It won't be an hour and 2 minutes It will be... around 53 minutes.”
He added, “ARMY, you've done great for 50 minutes. Go to sleep now thank you.”
