BTS's V aka Kim Taehyung hinted at a surprise for ARMY. V hinted at a surprise for ARMYs coming this August He shared emotional thoughts and missed connection with fans V explained why he stopped posing at airports for safety reasons BTS member V aka Kim Taehyung has set the ARMY fandom abuzz with the latest Weverse live. During the live session, he hinted at a 'surprise' coming this August. While keeping the details under wraps, V teased fans with just enough to send speculation spiralling online. 'Actually, in August, there will be a little something for ARMYs to see,' he said during the livestream. V also opened up emotionally during the session. 'I do really miss ARMYs though,' he said, echoing the sentiments of millions of fans. He also mentioned why he doesn't pose at the airport any more, reiterating that the space is not owned by BTS and that it really puts everyone's safety in jeopardy including that of ARMY and staff. The singer also shared why he dropped the idea of starting his own YouTube channel. 'I was going to try my own YouTube, but I decided not to. I don't think it would've worked. If I did it alone, I don't think it would have been fun,' V admitted. 'I asked people around me what they thought I would do, and they all said vlog. Which made me think it was too obvious, so I decided against it.' Beyond the live broadcast, V has been quietly building intrigue on social media. In recent days, he has shared a series of cryptic Instagram Stories, one showing a gloved red leather hand, another a dramatic close-up of his face, and a third featuring an old-school building. Though he's offered no captions or explanations, fans believe these visual hints may point to a new concept or era of his solo work. V made his solo debut with 'Layover', a retro-tinged project that showcased his love for jazz, R&B, and visual storytelling. Known for his cinematic aesthetic and rich baritone vocals, V quickly carved a distinct identity within BTS' broader universe. Since then, he's remained active with brand endorsements, magazine shoots, and limited music appearances, even while fulfilling his mandatory military service, which began in December 2023. With August just around the corner and BTS' 2025 reunion already a subject of high anticipation, all eyes are now on V and what he has planned next. The group is currently in LA working on their comeback album, expected to be out spring next year. BTS member V aka Kim Taehyung has set the ARMY fandom abuzz with the latest Weverse live.

Sharing the snapshots, she wrote in the caption, 'Stop thinking, Start feeling." View this post on Instagram A post shared by SREELEELA (@sreeleela14) Sreeleela's Look For The Day The actress kept it casual and cosy as she wore a blue and white oversized sweatshirt. She accessorised her OOTD with a golden necklace and tied her hair in a casual bun with some strands touching her face. How Did Social Media React? As soon as the diva dropped the post, the comment section was flooded with reactions from fans and admirers. An Instagram user commented, 'How do you manage to be effortlessly adorable every day??" Another one wrote, 'Lovely Leela." One of them shared, 'Aesthetically beautiful." Sreeleela's Work Front She will be making her Bollywood debut opposite Kartik Aaryan in director Anurag Basu's musical romantic drama. Slated to hit the big screens on Diwali 2025, the film will face a big Box office clash with Ayushmann Khurrana and Rashmika Mandanna's horror comedy, Thama. Recently, reports suggested that the makers of her debut Bollywood project decided to rescript the plot of the film after speculations of its similarities with Mohit Suri's Saiyaara. Basu denied the reports, saying, 'Mohit and I are very close friends. I'm happy for his film's success. The only similarity between our films is that the male hero is a musician and the tale follows his journey. In my film, the girl does not have dementia or any other condition. We're not rewriting or reshooting. I was aware that the girl in Saiyaara suffers from Alzheimer's. So, why would I do the same with mine?" Besides this, she will also reportedly be seen in a big-budget project with Ranveer Singh and Bobby Deol.
