On December 30, 2023, fans were delighted with the sudden release of “wherever u r.” It was a special collaboration by singer UMI and BTS‘s V.
The mellow song suited the winter weather perfectly and touched the hearts of many fans. What was even more touching was how to song came to be released on this very day. As many fans know, V is currently serving in the military. He enlisted in early December, saddening fans who wanted to spend his birthday with him. The song dropped on his very birthday, thanks to the secret plan that V had with UMI.
During a live stream about the release, UMI spilled the beans.
V had wanted the song to be released exactly on his birthday as a surprise for fans. According to her, she found out about his military enlistment through the media, just like the fans. She did not know about it while they were recording the song. Later on, he entrusted the release to her as he left for the military, planning for it to drop on December 30.
