V and Park Hyo Shin deliver an emotional winter epic with 'Winter Ahead'

The music video for the digital single "Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)," featuring V and Park Hyo Shin, was released alongside the release of the song at 2 p.m. KST on April 29th. The music video is inspired by the story of Pygmalion from Greek mythology, and is attracting attention for its unique story and beautiful visuals.

In the video, V transforms into a sculptor, hand-crafting his idealized version of himself, and the sculpture is transformed into a real person. The two spend a warm, paradisiacal time together in the cold of winter, portraying a happy everyday life, and the lyrics, "There's a winter ahead Whether it's cold and wet / We're always warm in paradise," capture the warmth of the music video."

The music video is a perfect example of the warm atmosphere of the song.

V then proceeds to carve up more and more people, throwing a huge party. However, the story takes a turn for the worse when an unexpected guest arrives and disrupts the party. His confusion is expressed in various ways. We see V as a loving and warm figure in a cozy interior, and a fierce and stylish figure at a glamorous club party. This shifting between a dream and a nightmare adds to the mystery of the scene and enhances the viewer's immersion in the story.

In the end, V realizes that he has been in an illusion. In an even more surprising twist, he realizes that he is one of the sculptures. The visuals of V as a perfect statue are awe-inspiring, but the story surrounding his identity leaves a lasting impression.

Shot on location in the French countryside and at Versailles, the music video is stunning, with exotic locations and stylish direction. From the moment the teaser was released, it has been met with an overwhelming response from fans around the world. In fact, fans have been crowding in front of the Shinsegae Square digital signage where the teaser has been screened since the 25th, and according to Shinsegae Department Store, the number of visitors increased by 15.5% year-on-year on the first day of the teaser release.

The new single, "Winter Ahead (with PARK HYO SHIN)," is a jazz-pop song with saxophone, trumpet, and dreamy free-paced piano playing, creating a warm and sophisticated atmosphere. Featuring a romantic melody and emotional lyrics, the song is praised for its harmonious combination of V's and Park Hyo Shin's captivating vocals."
