In an episode of "BTS In the SOOP 2," BTS V gave ARMYs a glimpse of him playing his trumpet.

As a jazz and trumpet enthusiast, it is not surprising BTS V also loves listening to jazz music. In fact, in November 2021, he showed ARMYs what jazz music he was listening to.

It was only a matter of time before BTS V's fondness for jazz music and playing the trumpet reached fellow artist, Jon Batiste.

The latter is best known for his versatility as a musician. He has also teamed up with some of the biggest names in the industry like Stevie Wonder, Lenny Kravitz, Ed Sheeran, and more.

Through the years, Batiste has also received a slew of awards.

Earlier this year, Batiste also received the most nominations at the GRAMMYs. One fan took the opportunity to ask if he would be willing to collaborate with BTS V.

To everyone's surprise, Batiste revealed that he is a big fan of the Bangtan Boy.

He also gave BTS V a shout-out and asked him if he would be willing to collaborate with him.
