BTS (BTS) V's saxophone improvisation won praise from a world-renowned saxophonist.
Jacob Skesny, a multi-time Grammy winner, recently made headlines by posting a video of V's saxophone performance. He has collaborated with Maroon 5, Jonas Brothers, Shawn Mendes and John Legend, and has also worked on V's solo album Layover.
In September 2023, V appeared in a special episode of "Tiny Desk Korea" and performed live songs from "Layover", such as "Love Me Again", "Slow Dancing", and "For Us". Jacob Skesny, a band player who was with him at the time, modified himself to a "Tae-Band musician" on an Instagram profile shortly after the performance, expressing the satisfaction of the collaboration. He also expressed his affection for V, writing, "You can play my saxophone anytime."

Recently, Jacob Skesny left a comment on a video of V's saxophone performance posted by a fan. He said, "V played really well, and after the live session, I asked very politely if I could try playing my saxophone. My saxophone is actually very difficult to play. It was set up to require a lot of lung capacity and to give a lot of pressure on the jaw. And yet he played amazingly well!"
"I'm so moved that I'll be able to see you smiling from behind. It was not a rehearsal at that moment, nor was it prepared at all. V just picked up the saxophone and started playing, and the band naturally played along. It was a great moment, and I'm glad to hear that the scene made the fans very happy," he added.
V is known to have learned the saxophone for about four years since he was a first grader in middle school. V said he hadn't played for a long time, but Jacob Skesney's rave reviews supported the assessment that he still showed outstanding performance.
