“Christmas Tree,” originally released as part of the soundtrack for the 2021 K-drama Our Beloved Summer, showcases Taehyung’s vocal talent and emotional depth. The song not only captured the hearts of fans but also resonated with a broader audience, securing its place among the best contemporary Christmas songs.
