KEY POINTS

  • BTS’ V spoke about his upcoming mixtape on episode 5 of the K-pop group's reality show, "In The Soop"
  • V revealed that he was nervous about their fans’ reaction to his songs
  • The singer also shared a snippet of an unreleased track in the upcoming mixtape, dubbed "KTH1"

BTS' V gave fans yet another teaser for his highly anticipated first mixtape on "In the Soop" episode 5.

On the Wednesday, Sept. 16, episode of the reality show, V, born Kim Taehyung, spoke about his upcoming mixtape, which BTS fans have dubbed "KTH1," while he and J-Hope were in a car and on their way back to South Korea's Lake 192.

When V said that he's nervous about fans' reaction to his songs, J-Hope, who released a mixtape of his own, "Hope World," in 2018, gave the younger man some advice.

"I don't think you should feel too pressured about a mixtape," J-Hope explained. "Just do what you want to do and show the music you want to show. You're not trying to win something big with it."

V confessed that he is afraid his intentions for releasing a mixtape, which is to give fans an opportunity to listen to the songs he likes, would be misunderstood.

"Yeah, I'm making this because I want our fans to hear it," V shared. "I'm doing this because I want to share the music that I've been working on and that I love, but I'm a bit worried that it'd look like I'm doing it to achieve something, when that's completely not in my interest."

Later in the episode, the BTS singer revealed snippets from an untitled song from his mixtape, which created quite a buzz online.

Interestingly, this is not the first time V has given fans a preview of his mixtape. Back in July, V shared a snippet of a song on Twitter, along with the message, "Today's a day where I miss ARMY so so.. so so much. Although not complete, please wait and listen to this spoiler!"

The singer later deleted the clip, but by then, fans had already captured and shared it.

On Aug. 25, V dropped yet another teaser for his mixtape in an earlier episode of "In The Soop."

As for the mixtape's release date, V revealed in an August interview uploaded to BTS' YouTube channel that he was hoping to drop it by the end of the year. The mixtape is expected to have at least eight songs.

Besides the upcoming mixtape, V and his fellow BTS members are gearing up for the release for their next album.

BTS fans outside of South Korea can watch all episodes of "In The Soop" on the Weverse app.
