On December 30, 2024, fans of BTS’ Kim Taehyung (also known as V) were thrilled when Elle Hong Kong posted a fan-made edit of the idol dressed in a Squid Game pink soldier outfit on their Instagram page. The fan edit, created by @7bogoshipda, was used as the cover photo for the post, showcasing V in a unique light that stirred fans’ excitement over the possibility of seeing him as an actor.
The post also included additional edits of other BTS members, featuring a clip of Taehyung performing in his Squid Game attire during BTS’ “Permission to Dance on Stage” concert in Los Angeles. The timing of the post was especially significant, coinciding with Taehyung’s birthday, leading to an outpouring of love and support from his global fanbase.
Fans React to Taehyung’s Actor Potential
The fan community quickly voiced their reactions, with many expressing their wish to see Taehyung pursue acting. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) exclaimed, “Everyone needs actor Tae,” echoing the sentiment that V’s captivating visuals and presence could be well-suited for a role in acting. Another fan commented, “We’ll see actor Taehyung very soon,” underscoring their belief that it was only a matter of time before V took on an acting role.
Other fans highlighted Taehyung’s ability to immerse himself in different styles, with one fan stating, “That face card is never letting people move on from Tae x Squid Game agenda.” Fans were particularly moved by how the Squid Game theme matched V’s striking visuals, sparking further conversation about his potential in the acting industry.
Desire for Taehyung in Squid Game Season 3
Some fans even speculated about the possibility of Taehyung appearing in the next season of Squid Game. “Not Elle Hong Kong posting Taehyung’s fanmade Squid Games edit picture on their Instagram / We need Taehyung in Squid Games S3,” wrote one fan. Others agreed, praising the fan edit for capturing Taehyung in a way that felt both iconic and fitting for the world of Squid Game.
“Taehyung in Squid Game vibes? Elle Hong Kong nailed it! This edit is absolutely breathtaking,” one fan commented, adding that Taehyung’s versatile look could elevate any character he would play. These reactions highlight the widespread admiration for Taehyung, not only as a member of BTS but also as a potential actor who could expand his artistic range.
Global Birthday Celebrations for Taehyung
While this buzz around Taehyung’s potential acting career gained momentum, fans also celebrated his birthday on a global scale. From LED billboards in Lagos to large-scale displays in Vietnam, fans created numerous tributes to mark the occasion. In Seoul, Taehyung’s Chinese fan club set up an exhibit at Yongsan HYBE Park, where a massive six-meter V doll was displayed, further emphasizing the global affection for the star.
Fans in Indonesia worked with MoyFaery to feature Taehyung’s visuals on 93 stations, while Vietnamese fans showcased him on LED screens. Even in Myanmar, fans demonstrated their appreciation for Taehyung by donating food and supplies to approximately 6,000 individuals affected by the ongoing crisis.
Taehyung’s Current Military Service
Currently, Taehyung is fulfilling his mandatory military service, having enlisted in December 2023. His discharge is expected to take place in June 2025, meaning fans will likely have to wait until then to see him return to the public eye. However, the overwhelming support from his fanbase, as demonstrated by these birthday projects, only fuels the anticipation for what’s next in Taehyung’s career—whether in music, acting, or beyond.
