V's appearance on Suchwita was not just about sharing his personal struggles. He also discussed his upcoming solo debut album, Layover, which he had been promoting back-to-back.

V also spoke about his dreams for the future. With BTS set to return in 2025 after a hiatus due to mandatory military service in South Korea, V expressed his desire to see the Northern Lights with his bandmates.
