The good news is that V has recently announced that he wanted to release his solo mixtape after being inspired by the success of BTS' rap line RM, J-Hope and Suga.
In a broadcast, Kim Taehyung admitted that he has been spending a lot of time writing songs that he thinks ARMYs will like. V said that he has written eight songs so far but he is unsure if all of them will make the cut if he releases his solo mixtape.

V previously worked on songs like Scenery, Winter Bear and 4'o'clock with RM. V is credited for writing and co-writing these songs by the Korea Music Copyright Association.
