To celebrate this solo debut, Spotify is letting fans discover more about the music of “Layover” and V as a soloist with a series of new episodes on its K-Pop ON! YouTube and Video Podcast channels.
In Spotipoly V Edition, V gives his all to ace the missions and win chances to personally introduce his new album to ARMY. In between challenges that had the self-proclaimed game lover fishing against the clock, rain-making, and dropping a beat with mini instruments, V takes fans on a journey through “Layover,” sharing the stories behind each track.
On the UNBOXING SHOW, V juggles between surprise missions, and unboxing and answering some of ARMY’s burning questions. From talking about his current hobby to the little things that bring him joy, his fur-baby “Yeontan,” and TMI from the making of “Layover,” this interview with a twist unpacks the many charms of the global star.
“In life, going directly to your final destination is pretty rare. So through this ‘Layover,’ I hope people can take a break, self-reflect, and look back on their goals. I wish that everyone, including myself, would not neglect themselves because they are too focused on their work. When working or doing something, rather, I hope they can think about their health and happiness and other aspects of their mental well-being. Sometimes, it’s okay to take a break,” said V in the UNBOXING SHOW.
