Many projects have been delayed in the wake of the crisis including the Birthday content of BTS V aka Kim Taehyung. The K-pop idol, who is currently completing his mandatory military service, turned 29 on Monday, December 30.
V’s agency BigHit Music had plans to release special content to pay tribute to the ‘Layover’ hitmaker. However, now the agency has postponed the release to mourn the loss of the victims of the tragic plane crash. In a statement released on social media, the agency said , “We express our deepest condolences to the victims who lost their lives in the recent aviation accident and to their loved ones.”
They continued, “We would like to inform you that V’s birthday content, originally scheduled to be released today on December 30th, 2024 (KST) will not take place today. We ask for your generous understanding. Thank you.”
