BTS' V Teases A Massive Post-Military Project; ARMY Says It's Squid Game 3
Last Updated: BTS' V teased a big post-military project during his WeVerse live. Fans suspect he's joining Squid Game 3, but he's keeping it a mystery. BTS member Kim Taehyung, popularly known as V, has sent the internet into overdrive with hints about his upcoming project following his military discharge. The singer, who recently completed his service, went live on WeVerse and teased something 'huge" coming up, without revealing any names, but fans think they've cracked the code. V said during the live, '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." His cryptic words were enough to send ARMYs into detective mode. The most popular theory? That V might be part of Netflix's Squid Game franchise, possibly even the upcoming Squid Game 3. If he appears in Squid Game tomorrow… I think everyone will lose their minds😭🛐❤️ #SquidGameS3 #V — Diana, ????????ꪜ girl (Taylor's Version)✨ (@thVscenery_95) June 26, 2025 Squid Game Season 3 is going to be released tomorrow‼️Even the thought of possibly seeing Taehyung in the series makes me die from verve and excitement.I would say there is a 40% chance that he might be in it. — Stigma★ (@nxtarrv) June 26, 2025 The speculation isn't new. During BTS' Permission to Dance on Stage concert, V surprised fans by donning a guard costume reminiscent of Squid Game complete with a mask he removed dramatically. Many took it as an Easter egg hinting at a future collaboration. The buzz gained momentum when Squid Game actors Lee Jung-jae (Player 456) and Wi Ha-joon (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." Meanwhile, the final season of Squid Game is all set to premiere this Friday on Netflix. Its creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has already teased that the show will not have a 'happy ending", heightening curiosity even further. If V does make an appearance, it would mark his official acting debut in a major global series, a monumental crossover for both K-drama fans and ARMYs. V has previously expressed his love for the show, calling himself a fan. And although he's chosen to remain tight-lipped for now, his live has certainly reignited hope that he may step into a dramatic, dystopian world next. First Published:

BTS Reunion 2025: Why SUGA Served As Social Worker While Others Joined Combat Duty In Military
Last Updated: With SUGA's return imminent and March 2026 firmly on the horizon, ARMY can finally look forward to seeing BTS reunited on stage once again. BTS fans around the world are preparing for SUGA's military discharge, marking the end of an era and setting the stage for BTS' highly anticipated comeback. Following Jin, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, SUGA is now the final member of BTS to complete his mandatory military service. In a post shared on WeVerse, BTS' label Big Hit Music announced, 'We are excited to bring you the news of SUGA's upcoming Social Work discharge. SUGA is close to completing his service as a Social Work Personnel and will soon be discharged." The label also urged fans to refrain from visiting the discharge site, citing safety concerns, and encouraged them to send their support through heartfelt messages instead. 'No special events are planned on the day of SUGA's discharge. Overcrowding can pose safety risks, and we sincerely request our fans not to visit the sites in person," Big Hit stated. 'Please convey your warm regards and encouragement in your hearts." Due to ongoing health concerns, including surgeries on his shoulder and ear, Suga was reportedly deemed 'unfit for regular combat duty" and was assigned a less physically demanding role in the South Korean military. Rather than serving on the front lines in the event of a conflict, he contributed in an alternative capacity. Following the conclusion of his Agust D world tour on August 7, 2023, Suga officially began his mandatory military service as a social service agent on September 22, 2023. This announcement comes hot on the heels of multiple reports indicating BTS is planning a full group comeback in March 2026. The Korea Herald cited a HYBE official confirming the timeline, which would mark almost four years since the group announced a hiatus to fulfill military obligations and focus on solo projects. J-Hope, who completed his service in October 2024, reflected on the transformative journey in an interview with Rolling Stone: 'The thoughts I had during those times have become an inseparable part of me… They have influenced the stories I tell, the music I aspire to create." As excitement builds, longtime BTS producer Pdogg spoke about the process behind the group's music. 'I communicate directly with the members as their tracks and albums often center around their personal stories," he told Rolling Stone. 'I spend a lot of time talking to each member and communicating about what they're thinking." However, producer Slow Rabbit, a regular collaborator, confirmed he won't be involved in the upcoming BTS album. 'I am also looking forward to BTS' comeback, but I will be focusing on my role as the main producer for TOMORROW X TOGETHER," he said. With SUGA's return imminent and March 2026 firmly on the horizon, ARMY can finally look forward to seeing BTS reunited on stage once again. First Published:
