Last but certainly not least, BTS's V will release his first official solo album with the help of NewJeans producer Min Hee-jin.

Rumors of V's album had been in the air since last month when member Jungkook released his solo track "Seven," meaning that six of the seven BTS members had made their solo debuts except for V.

V's solo album was officialized for the first time on Wednesday by BigHit Music, BTS's management company owned by HYBE, in a press release.

"I'm nervous, but I'm happy," V said in a press release on Wednesday. "It will be an album of my taste. There'll be a lot to see."

It is an album made just for ARMY, BTS's loyal fandom, he added.

"I prepared for this thinking that ARMY will be happy with it, so I hope you all look forward to it, too. You will be able to see a new side of V that's different from BTS's V."

Min will lead the album's production.

Min is the chief producer and CEO of ADOR, another label owned by HYBE that manages and produces girl group NewJeans.

She had also been the producer of SM Entertainment artists, such as girl group Red Velvet before she joined HYBE.

"I was offered the project late last year," Min said, also in the press release.

"I hope you focus on the music. I have prepared music based on V's taste," she added. "Rather than the style we're used to, we stuck to what we wanted to try and what we could pull off. It was hectic and busy, but I think we ended up with a fun work."

Details of the album, such as the number of tracks or the release date, have not been decided yet.
