“Soloist Taehyung is a dream come true”: BTS’ V earns unanimous praise from ARMYs for second pre-release Rainy Days MV

BTS’ V, aka Kim Tae-hyung, released the second pre-release song, Rainy Days’ official music video on August 11. Rainy Days can be best described as an alternative pop-R&B song with a melancholic and sombre vibe.

The combination of modern drums and old-school percussion sounds mesh beautifully together to create a nostalgia-driven song. Notably, Taehyung’s beloved pet dog, Yeontan, to whom the album is dedicated, makes a sweet appearance in the music video. This is his first official appearance in any BTS music video.

ARMYs are unanimously praising the song. “Soloist Taehyung is a dream come true,” writes @KTH_UK, accompanied with a brief snippet from the song.

On August 10, BTS’ V released over 20 sweet photos of him and Yeontan as the first set of official concept photos for his debut solo album Layover. The pictures showcased the 28-year-old BTS singer in a casual fit posing with Yeontan, who matched BTS’ V's vibe.

Layover marks Yeontan’s debut appearance in any official BTS music video. Notably, none of the Bangtan members’ pets have made any official appearances in their music videos, although members have dedicated songs to their beloved pets.

ARMYs are joking that Layover is in fact Yeontan’s solo debut, and they are looking forward to more of his solo work in the future.

The second set of concept photos will be released on August 16, which will also mark the end of his pre-release activities before the official album release on September 8.
