The kings of KPOP, BTS, made their much-anticipated comeback today. Unless you're living under a rock, no one can miss the buzz around BTS's much-anticipated EP 'BE.' The comeback is extraordinary in so many ways as BTS's members themselves have personally shaped this album onto existence with a hands-on approach, from a visual direction, concept curating to production, it's totally BTS members!

Members went through stiff competition to get their proposed songs included in the album, but "Blue & Grey" made a special direct entrance in the album, which is handpicked from BTS V's highly anticipated mixtape.


The song became the most critically acclaimed song of the album. It made V the only member to have two production credits and composition and lyricism credits (Skit, Blue & grey), making it his 14th Komca accredited song.


Blue and grey being called as "most devastating yet sexy ballad" from the album!

Media and critics highly praised the song. Also compared it with "Folklore" by Taylor Swift!


As soon as the title track MV dropped, V's real name Kim Taehyung trended in several countries along with Blue & grey, which trended worldwide on Twitter with two keywords. V's subunit "Fly to my room" also Trended Worldwide.


Blue & grey also became the first and fastest B-side track from BE to reach 1 million and 2 million views (in less than 9hrs) and is still the most viewed and liked song among all BE B-side tracks on YouTube. It also Trended at #12 in the UK and #20 in the US and WW on YouTube and is still trending after hours since its release.


Various verified Accounts and celebrities expressed their love for V's co-produced track Blue & grey, claiming "it turned them into crying mess." Twitter specifically added a description under the trend.

Dispatch also changed their profile picture to V's picture on their official Instagram as well as K-media.

Some locals were seen swooning over V and Blue & grey as well!

The album is about the changes, nostalgia, longing, and various bluesy emotions that the pandemic induced into the masses. It is relatable for many and turned out to be a major milestone in BTS's members' lives because of their personal involvement. For V, in particular, being credited as a "visual creative" under his real name Kim Taehyung for the whole album, along with composer, lyricist, producer, became a platform to show off his immense talent and also members faith in his ability to lead the concept visualization as it lays the foundation of the structure.

Even Football clubs weren't immune to V's brainchild Blue & grey!

Earlier in the pre-release press conference, a male English translator seems to have paused to appraise V's talking voice before continuing with his job!

Critics and fans got just a taste of V's allrounder "Galaxy brain" through this EP, and now the expectations from his upcoming Mixtape are skyrocketing as everyone can't wait to unbox more of what V has to offer.
