BTS’ V, known off-stage as Kim Taehyung, has surprised fans with a rare look into his military life, and ARMYs worldwide are celebrating. Sharing never-before-seen photos on Instagram, V marked a significant moment in his journey as ‘Sergeant Kim.’ If the latest images are any indication, his time in uniform has only added to his undeniable charm.
Striking Presence in Uniform
Among the shared pictures, one shows him confidently holding a bouquet, his sculpted physique on display—a clear sign that military training has been doing wonders for him. Another snapshot captures him in full military uniform, exuding a strong and commanding presence. But it’s not all serious business! Ever the playful soul, V brought smiles by posing next to a snowman and even donning an adorable bunny hat, proving that his signature mischief remains intact.
Heartfelt Message to Fans
Along with the photos, V penned a heartfelt message, updating fans on his time in service. “I came to report Sergeant Kim’s survival! It’s D-107. The scary winter is over, and I’ll take care of myself in the warm spring and get ready for it!” he wrote, sparking waves of excitement among ARMYs. The countdown to BTS’ grand reunion has officially begun.
BTS’ Military Journey
V enlisted in the South Korean military in 2023, alongside his bandmates RM, Jimin, and Jungkook. Their enlistment followed Jin, the eldest member, who began his service in December 2022. Big Hit Music had previously confirmed their enlistment, expressing gratitude to fans for their unwavering support.
“We would like to inform our fans that RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have initiated the military enlistment process. The artists are preparing to fulfill their military service duties. We will inform you of further updates in due course. We ask for your continued love and support until they return safely,” read the official statement from the company.
The Countdown to BTS’ Reunion
As BTS remains on hiatus during their military service, anticipation for their full reunion continues to build. With each passing day, excitement grows as fans eagerly await the moment when all seven members will share the stage once again. Jin, the first to enlist, completed his service in June 2024, followed by J-Hope, who made his return in October. If all goes as planned, BTS is set to reunite completely by June 2025.
