BTS's V is receiving global acclaim for his self-composed songs "Scenery," "Winter Bear," and "Snow Flower," which have been officially released and are quickly becoming fan favorites. As V gears up for the release of his solo album "Layover" on September 8th, he has officially released these three tracks, which were previously available for free on SoundCloud.
