Kim Taehyung, a.k.a V of superstar K-pop group BTS, played and even sang along to a song by Filipino singer-songwriter Paolo Sandejas.
As part of the septet’s individual member solo vlog releases for seven Saturdays, V launched his video entry on Saturday, where he drove around Seoul while sharing his music playlist.
In the 52-minute vlog, V vibed to songs by Ed Sheeran, Lizzo, Willow Smith, Jamie Callum, Cautious Clay, Justin Biber, and The Weeknd and Ariana Grande, among others, while inside the car.
Filipino ARMYs, fans of BTS, were also elated after the song Sorry by OPM artist Paolo Sandejas was included in V’s car playlist.
The song was featured in the vlog for more than a minute, with V even singing along to the lyrics from time to time. Check out the 26:00 mark.
Paolo, meanwhile, was stoked upon learning that the K-pop idol listens to his music.
“HOLY FUCKING S**T,” wrote Paolo on Twitter, retweeting a clip that showed V singing his song.
In a statement sent via Universal Records Philippines to STAR’s LatestChika, Paolo gushed over being recognized by the BTS member, exclaiming how he’s greatly honored over the “surreal experience”.
“The fact that one of the biggest artists in the world knows my name AND listens to my songs is insane to me!,” said Paolo.
“This is a surreal experience, and I have no words to express how honored I am that he enjoys a song I worked so hard on,” he added.
Paolo released Sorry, a song reminiscing about what ifs, under Universal Records in 2020.
