With just a week’s notice, the highly anticipated track, Winter Ahead , finally saw the light of day after being filmed two years ago. The wait was worth it—V and Park didn’t just sing the song; they co-wrote and produced it, crafting an instant classic.

Billboard quickly recognized the track’s magic, placing it in their 27 Best Winter Songs for the Season list. The jazzy tune, evoking warmth and nostalgia, is described as "This jazzy, Charlie Brown-esque collab lands like a fresh crystal of snow — its expiration date goes beyond December 25."

With its rich jazz tones and emotional depth, it becomes the perfect backdrop for cozy evenings by the fire or peaceful mornings watching snowflakes fall. The track's universal appeal extends its charm well past the Christmas season.

In fact, Winter Ahead sits comfortably alongside an elite collection of seasonal classics. From Ella Fitzgerald’s timeless ballads to Annie Lennox’s evocative hits, and even modern favorites like The Neighbourhood’s Sweater Weather and Taylor Swift’s Tis The Damn Season, this duet holds its own.


For those looking to savor the quiet magic of winter, Winter Ahead is the ultimate soundtrack. Whether it’s curling up with a book, sharing a warm drink, or simply enjoying a snowy view, the song feels like a heartfelt embrace.

With V and Park Hyo Shin’s unparalleled vocals and thoughtful artistry, Winter Ahead isn’t just another seasonal song—it’s a soulful gift that keeps giving all winter long.
