(Photo by Frazer Harrison/Getty Images for The Recording Academy)Getty Images for The Recording A—2020 The Recording Academy by [Kat Moon](https://time.com/author/kat-moon/) ## Kat Moon Mar 13, 2020 5:59 PM UTC Vocalist V from [BTS](https://time.com/5788922/bts-map-of-the-soul-7-review/) has released a new song for the Korean drama _Itaewon Class_. “Sweet Night,” featuring a warm melody from the deep-voiced artist, sung over a softly played acoustic guitar, dropped as the television series — available on Netflix — enters its final weeks. Produced and written by [V](https://time.com/collection-post/5418827/bts-members/), the song is entirely in English and its lyrics aptly reflect the emotions of the drama’s resilient male lead, Park Sae Roy. _Itaewon Class_, based on a webtoon of the same name, follows the journey of Park Sae Roy, who sets foot on a determined path to bring down a top food conglomerate in South Korea after an accident kills his father. A middle school graduate and a former convict, Park Sae Roy defies the odds and opens a bar-restaurant, DanBam, in the vibrant neighborhood of Itaewon. Although he approaches his goal of making DanBam into a successful franchise with his team, Park Sae Roy’s achievements are darkened by the bitterness of losing his father. Whereas he once thought the taste of alcohol was sweet, he has tasted only bitterness since his father’s passing. V’s “Sweet Night” offers hope that Park Sae Roy’s life might be filled with sweetness again. “How could I know / one day I’d wake up feeling more,” the vocalist [sings in the chorus](https://genius.com/V-bts-sweet-night-lyrics). Layered with V’s light humming and a whispery falsetto, the track is a soothing balm that seems to set the table for a more hopeful set of final episodes. The BTS artist’s connection to the series is strengthened by [his friendship with Park Seo-joon](https://www.soompi.com/article/1348943wpp/btss-v-shares-photos-from-vacation-with-park-seo-joon-choi-woo-shik-and-more), the seasoned actor who plays Park Sae Roy. V and Park Seo-joon both starred in the Korean drama _Hwarang,_ which first aired in 2016\. Since the show, they have documented their time together, including [photos posted on BTS’ account](https://twitter.com/BTS%5Ftwt/status/1167042115475427328) when the group was [on vacation](https://time.com/5650024/is-bts-taking-a-break/) last summer. “I read the original webtoon _Itaewon Class_ before seeing the drama,” [V said ahead of the song’s release.](https://www.soompi.com/article/1387952wpp/btss-v-shares-thoughts-on-participating-in-itaewon-class-ost-with-self-composed-song) “The character of Park Sae Roy left a particularly deep impression on me, and I really liked him. So I’m really thrilled that a close friend of mine, whom I really like, is playing the role of Park Sae Roy.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5802653/bts-v-sweet-night-itaewon-class/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5802653/bts-v-sweet-night-itaewon-class/"},"headline":"BTS Member V's 'Sweet Night' for Korean Drama Itaewon Class Is a Balm for a Bittersweet Story","datePublished":"2020-03-13T17:59:10.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-24T08:26:53.924Z","description":"Produced and written by V, the song is entirely in English and its lyrics reflect the bittersweet emotions of the drama","url":"https://time.com/5802653/bts-v-sweet-night-itaewon-class/","keywords":["Music","Brief"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt51b7be5be7151e6b/698a0b84656a3f5e62bd9cf7/GettyImages-1202180068-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Kat Moon","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/kat-moon/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt51b7be5be7151e6b/698a0b84656a3f5e62bd9cf7/GettyImages-1202180068-1.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards – Backstage","caption":"62nd Annual GRAMMY Awards – Backstage","creditText":"Getty Images for The Recording A—2020 The Recording Academy","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/music/","name":"Music"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5802653/bts-v-sweet-night-itaewon-class/","name":"BTS Member V's 'Sweet Night' for Korean Drama Itaewon Class Is a Balm for a Bittersweet Story"}}]}] ```
