BTS V Sparks Curiosity with Released Photos For New Digital Single ‘FRI(END)S’

BTS V, currently enlisted in the military, is generating significant buzz with his new release of concept photos for his upcoming digital single.

Six concept photos of V’s digital single “FRI(END)S” were revealed on March 8 through BTS social media channels.

V’s solo concept photos ooze a melancholic vibe. Shrouded in black and white, his disarming gaze deepens the atmosphere, drawing comparisons to a timeless film noir.

Clad in a monochromatic palette, V embodies quietude. A downturned gaze and the addition of a headset further emphasize his solitary state, amplifying the sense of isolation within the black-and-white frame.

Close-up shots showcase V’s striking features, captivating fans. The photos, taken from different angles, reveal his photogenic qualities and undeniable charisma.

The recent “FRI(END)S” teaser film cleverly hinted at the song’s title through symbolic imagery. In contrast, the newly released concept photos showcase a stark, almost “cold” atmosphere, piquing fans’ curiosity about the direction of the single.

A second batch of concept photos for V’s new single will be released on March 11.

“FRI(END)S” will be released globally on streaming platforms at 1 PM KST on March 15. This soulful pop-R&B love song is perfect for the spring season.

Following the song release, FRI(END)S PARTY, a fan event for ARMY, will be held at a café in Seongdong-gu, Seoul, on March 16.

V’s recent enlistment on December 11, 2023, garnered significant attention, particularly due to his reported application for the elite Capital Defense Command Special Task Force.
