BTS’ V ‘FRI(END)S’ #1 4 Weeks

Billboard Reports

BTS‘ V has officially shared his first project post-military enlistment — a new solo single titled “FRI(END)S.”

Released Friday (March 15), the R&B-infused track was written entirely in English. It follows V’s September 2023 EP Layover, which the K-pop star dropped just a couple months before beginning his mandatory service in the South Korean military alongside bandmates RM, Jimin, Jung Kook, Jin, J-Hope and Suga, who have also enlisted.

V previously confirmed that he had banked a few projects to release during his time away, writing in a December statement that he’d “prepared a lot of things” for the 18-month period. “I will miss you so much,” he penned at the time, as translated to English. “Actually, I’m really sad that I can’t make happy memories with my ARMY for the time being […] it’s the hardest not to see the ARMY.”
