Is BTS' V Really In Netflix's Thriller Squid Game's Season 3? Here's The Truth
Last Updated: BTS' V, Kim Taehyung, excited fans with hints of a new project post-military, sparking Squid Game cameo rumors, but he wasn't in the new season. Following BTS ' Kim Taehyung, popularly called V's, discharge from the military, he interacted with fans on Weverse, telling them that something 'huge" is coming up. While he did not share many details about his new project, fans immediately concluded that V is part of the third season of Netflix's hit survival drama, Squid Game. Before the new season was released, global searches for 'V Squid Game cameo" surged. Fans scrutinised the trailer and every behind-the-scenes clip, convinced they had spotted clues hinting at V's appearance. Despite all the buzz for years, the BTS star was not a part of Squid Game 3.

The moment went viral in no time, and many took it as a hint of a collaboration between V and Squid Game. This buzz gained momentum further when Squid Game's Lee Jung Jae, who portrayed Player 456 aka Seong Gi Hun, and Wi Ha Joon, who played Jun Ho, were asked about V's involvement during an interview with BuzzFeed UK in January. While neither confirmed anything, their silence only added fuel to the fire. Jung Jae said, 'I can't say anything about that," while Ha Joon added, 'No comment."

During this interaction, he shared an update regarding his new project, saying, 'This is probably… Maybe if we wait a little longer, I think it'll come out. But it's not really a big deal. Oh, but to me, it's actually a huge deal." While a majority of ARMYs thought he was talking about his Squid Game cameo, another section speculated that BTS' V might have been roped in for his second K-drama. First Published:
