V of BTS<\/strong> has been going non-stop with the promotion of his latest studio album, “Layover.”<\/strong><\/em> Much to the delight of his fans, the project has spawned 4 singles<\/strong> in a short time period: “Love Me Again,” “Rainy Days, “For Us” and “Blue.” With all this material, it is no surprise that the South Korean idol gets hands on deck to perform<\/strong> his latest tracks, which have earned him awards<\/strong> at South Korean music shows!<\/p>\n

But aside from all the glamour and performative aspects of these performances, the BTS member surprised fans (known as ARMY) with his own performance for Tiny Desk Korea<\/strong>. With this, V became the very first Kpop<\/strong> artist to ever perform on NPR\u2019s Tiny Desk series, marking a milestone<\/strong> for the South Korean idol in this live musical tradition.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The performance was filmed in August<\/strong> in Seoul, South Korea with an eight-member band of musicians.<\/strong> The team mostly consisted of artist who had flown all the way from the United States<\/strong> just to participate in the performance, while some others were already based in Seoul.<\/p>\n

The singer kicked off his show with “Love Me Again,”<\/strong> <\/em>a soulful ballad about missing an ex-lover, then he followed up with “Slow Dancing,”<\/strong> <\/em>a smooth R&B song about having a good time with your partner, and finally, he closed the set with “For Us.”<\/strong> <\/em>Before wrapping up the show, the singer expressed that:<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cThese songs evoke a sense of fleeting tranquility, as if they effortlessly pass by and offer a soothing pause.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n <\/figure>\n \n

A fun fact about this performance is that, since the show was filmed in August<\/strong>, this was one of the very first times<\/strong> V had performed the songs live. Thanks to this, the tracks have more of a fresh vibe and the live instrumentation elevates them to even higher places!<\/p>\n
