Christmas came a day early for the BTS army. On December 24, Grammy-nominated group BTS’ Jimin dropped a new festive special track ‘Christmas Love’ on YouTube that garnered more than 4,50,000 views within half an hour of its release. After the surprise track dropped, the 25-year-old K-pop star took to Twitter to share it with fans with a short message for fans, “Everyone’s (Christmas) gift has arrived.”
And now BTS Army worldwide is celebrating the 3 minutes 17 seconds long soft-pop track with Jimin’s healing vocals wrapped in Christmasy warmth.
The songs' lyrics state: “Oh I been waitin' for this Christmas Day, my heart is already on this white street, Last night, snow fell in my dreams. You waited all day in the blanket… Christmas I love you, Oh you're the one, I hope it will be today forever, Christmas love, Christmas love Stay in my heart for a long time”. These words are enough to encapsulate the ‘Promise’ singer’s feelings for his fans and to top this gift, Jimin also wrote a letter.
In the Christmas letter, Jimin opened up his heart and said, “Hello everyone, this is Jimin. Did you get a good Christmas present? I really wanted to hear from you, but fortunately, I am very, very happy to be able to do so. The reason I came here today is why I suddenly heard this bright song in this difficult situation, I came here because I wanted to tell you a little about the reason. As you can see from the contents of the song. This song is a scene where my favorite snow falls out of my childhood memories. I sing with my feelings when I first saw them.”
The ‘Friends’ crooner went on and said, “As we grow up, it seems that we miss our childhood a lot. Whether that’s the situation now or not, I thought I wanted to go back to that time. The responsibility of something you have as you grow, That responsibility makes us mature. I thought that it might make us hide our emotions a little.”
Jimin, known as the comforting angel, said, “All of you are always worthy of love. So, even if it’s a little shy than the usual expression. I hope there will be a situation where everyone can enjoy together. It’s a song that’s far short of what’s written in grandiose, I hoped that all of you would be happy people and made it hard with one wish. I hope I can go back to the old days that you remember a little bit after listening to the song.”
