BTS’ Jimin takes over the internet with his new collab VIBE featuring BIGBANG’s Taeyang

BTS' Jimin and BIGBANG member Taeyang’s first-ever collaboration has been long in the making, and if the internet reactions are to go by, fans of both artists love the song. This is BIGBANG’s Taeyang’s first song in six years.

VIBE is an R&B track with bouncy percussion sounds fleshed out with the duo’s velvety smooth vocals. The song depicts the heart-fluttering feelings of romance and attraction between two people with similar dance vibes.

BTS fans have taken over social media with the hashtag “VIBEftJimin.” They pointed out how the Lie singer has been a fan of BIGBANG’s Taeyang since his debut years, and now a decade after Bangtan’s debut, he has collaborated with Taeyang.

In October 2022, BIGBANG’s Taeyang deleted all the past photos from his Instagram, indicating that he is ready to start a new chapter in his musical journey after shifting to Teddy Park’s THE BLACK LABEL.

Soon, rumors were rife that the Filter singer would collaborate with BIGBANG’s Taeyang on his upcoming collab single VIBE. Notably, this is the BTS member’s first major project since the boy band announced their break from group activities, and the septet’s oldest member, Jin, enlisted in the military.

Fans are now waiting for the Serendipity singer’s solo debut album to be released soon.
