BTS have hinted at a Christmas collaboration with the late Bing Crosby.

Posting a clip of snowflakes against a blue background, Geffen Records tweeted: "Sign up to be the first to know…#BTSArmy," linking to a web page titled 'BTS x Bing Crosby.'

Could this mean the K-pop juggernaut, comprising Jin, SUGA, j-hope, RN, Jimin, V and Jung Kook, are set to announce a festive project with Washington-born crooner Crosby? Fans certainly seem to think so.

In response to the teaser, one fan commented: "OH WE ARE UPPPPP," with another eagle-eyed user spotting the option to sign up for updates from member V, saying: "V x Bing Crosby."

V, real name Kim Tae-hyung, previously covered It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas last year; with Bing having released his version of the track in 1951.

To date, four festive LPs of Crosby's have charted in the UK: 1974's White Christmas (45), 1991's Christmas With Bing Crosby (66), 2019's Christmas Classics (18) and 2020 compilation The Voice Of Christmas - The Complete Decca Christmas Songbook (67).
