It pays to have a superstar singer as one of your best friends. BTS‘ Kim Tae-hyung has written and produced a song called “Sweet Night” for Park Seo-joon‘s hit K-drama, “Itaewon Class.” The tune will — of course — be sung by Kim, also known to fans as V. The title is a nod to Dan Bam, the name of the pub that Park’s character owns. In Korean, Dan Bam translates into … you guessed it … sweet night.
The song will be made available at 6 p.m KST on March 13. For those of us in the United States, that translates to … welp … 2 a.m. PDT (California) or 5 a.m. EDT (New York).
VLENDING — the production team spearheading the original soundtrack — hinted that the song falls into the indie pop genre and is acoustic heavy.
On a broadcast they had prior to performing on “Music Bank,” V and his bandmate RM (aka Kim Nam-joon) also hinted about a new song that people are assuming is “Sweet Night.” After chatting about V’s solo track, “Inner Child” from “Map of the Soul: 7,” V talked about a new unnamed song: “It’s my type. I really love it.” RM, who had a part in this new track, said they worked hard to help fulfill the vision that V had for this song.
This isn’t the first time V has sung a song specifically for a K-Drama. He was an actor in the series “Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth.” He and his BTS bandmate, Jin, dueted together on “It’s Definitely You,” which became the de facto theme song for the cast. V’s co-stars included Park Seo-joon and Park Hyung-sik. In real life, the three performers became great friends who celebrated birthdays and vacationed together.
Their group of close-knit friends also includes “Parasite” star Choi Woo-shik and musician Peakboy.
The “Itaewon Class” star and V are such good friends that they treat each other like family, with V being the mischievous younger brother you can’t be mad at — no matter what he does.
For instance, V once sent Park a coffee truck to congratulate him on his new project. He included a professional photo of himself and a (relatively) unflattering picture of Park that showed off a double chin. He puckishly sent this message for Park’s colleagues to read: “He’s an ugly man, but please take good care of him anyhow.”
Park took it all in stride, saying, “You cutie. I thank you and love you. But you know nothing good can come of this, right?”
LOL!
And yet, something good … and sweet … has come out of it. May their friendship live forever and may the two stars reunite on screen again one day for another acting opportunity. Fighting, Kim Tae-hyung! Fighting, Park Seo-joon!

don’t forget park hyung-sik is part of wooga too! 😉
I didn’t! He’s included in the article! 🙂
“The tune will — of course — be sung by Kim.” You meant Taehyung(?). No one calls him Kim.
Thanks for the comment 🙂
Hi, I understand your point of view, but it is absolutely correct to refer to a subject by the last name. It IS his surname.
Kim Taehyun and Park Seojoon are the dream team! I can’t wait to heart his song!!!
They really are! We’re all very curious! It sounds like it will be lovely!
Koreans say their last name first so Kim is correct. Taehyung is also correct. V is also correct. The writer was consistent and that was the most important thing!
He knows how to value his friends, which is very much impressive and important! ♡♡♡
Definitely. We all need a friend like him <3
Can’t wait to hear the song><
same here!! cannot wait!!
Are you going to set your alarm so you can hear it when it releases?!
