Kim revealed that he has already listened to BTS V's solo debut album and caused a hot topic for his honest review about it. Regarding the album, the music critic said:

Nevertheless, Kim Young Dae gave his professional insights about it and said:

"Yes, I think you'll be totally surprised. First of all, I think it can be said that this is a new discovery of a vocalist called V. Of course, there are some familiar sides/aspects of BTS V, but I think you'll be very surprised to see a new side of him that you haven't seen before."

He continued:

"Overall, the music is so good. Also, V has a very charming voice. But for BTS songs, there's a certain way to interpret it. But in this album, He revealed a lot. It's very natural. If you're curious to see V's natural side, please look forward to it."

Lastly, he teased fans that something "surprising" will happen, drawing curiosity:

"There's one very unique reason why this album stands out, but I can't tell you that. You'll be totally surprised. It's not a collaboration!"

When Kim Young Dae's lecture video was released, "KTH1 IS COMING" immediately topped the global real-time trends list, proving the enthusiastic response of global fans for BTS V's upcoming solo album.

In fact, even Jungkook, his co-member, confessed that he also listened to some of V's songs during the Stationhead live broadcast, attesting to its good quality.

"It's really good, I listened to it first."
