Geffen Records Sets Off Buzz Among BTS Fans with Mysterious Announcement
BTS fans are abuzz with excitement following an intriguing post from Geffen Records. Could there be a festive surprise in store for the ARMY this Christmas?
The renowned K-pop group BTS, comprising members Jin, SUGA, j-hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, may be collaborating with the legendary Bing Crosby, a figure synonymous with Christmas music. Geffen Records’ recent post hinted at this potential partnership, showcasing a serene video adorned with snowflakes and the message, “Sign up to be the first to know…BTS Army.” Clicking the linked text led fans to a webpage titled “BTS x Bing Crosby,” which fueled speculation about a holiday project.
The prospect of BTS uniting with Crosby, who gave us classic holiday tunes such as “White Christmas” and “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” has fans buzzing with enthusiasm. The idea has triggered imaginations about what this collaboration could entail.
Fans were quick to notice a peculiar detail in the post from Geffen Records. Typically, the name of a BTS member appears at the front of URLs shared by the label. However, an announcement on Bing Crosby’s accounts recently displayed a link starting with a capital “V,” prompting speculation regarding Taehyung’s involvement in this untitled project.
Check out the post here:
Responses from fans revealed their heightened anticipation. One fan excitedly declared, “After the Christmas tree, Taehyung is gifting us another Christmas song?!?! OMGGGGG I AM SO EXCITED LET’S GOOO.”
Another fan expressed curiosity about a possible update featuring V, writing, “Omg ??? new Taehyung Christmas song???”

In another post, a fan speculated, “I wonder if it will be a ‘new’ song recording or if they’ll use his previous recording of ‘It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas’ and make it an official release, blending their vocals…. I AM READY.”

This development isn’t entirely unexpected. Last year, V covered “It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas,” a classic originally recorded by Crosby in 1951, establishing a prior festive connection.
Bing Crosby’s music has defined the Christmas season for decades, with his albums remaining fixtures in UK charts over the years. His compilations, including “White Christmas” and “The Voice of Christmas,” are cherished holiday favourites. A collaboration with BTS could not only amplify Crosby’s enduring legacy but also position them as a serious contender for 2024’s Christmas Number 1, standing alongside artists like Tom Grennan, WHAM!, and East 17.
The highly anticipated announcement for the Official Christmas Number 1 will be revealed on December 20 during BBC Radio 1’s The Official Chart with Jack Saunders. Could BTS and Bing Crosby emerge as the surprise duo that the holidays need?
