The duo’s friendship has become a major talking point, with fans calling them the “new celebrity besties of South Korea.” Song Kang, known for dramas like Sweet Home and My Demon, is still serving in the military and will be discharged on October 1.
V also shared a photo with award-winning director Park Chan-wook, sparking rumors of a possible acting project. Park is famous for films like Oldboy and Decision to Leave. Fans are now speculating that V might be preparing for a major acting role after his military service.
V’s military journey has been closely followed by fans. He enlisted in December 2023 in the Special Duty Team (SDT), known for its tough training. Throughout his service, he gained attention for his discipline and leadership. His final posts before discharge have only increased excitement for his return.
V and fellow BTS member RM will be officially discharged on June 10. They are expected to greet fans in Chuncheon, as confirmed by BIGHIT MUSIC. Other BTS members, including Jimin and Jungkook, will complete their service soon, marking the group’s full reunion.
Fans worldwide are celebrating V’s return with special projects. In Thailand, electric buses wrapped with his images are roaming the streets. Nigerian fans have organized a wrapped bus in Lagos, while Chinese fans have set up LED trucks near HYBE’s headquarters.
The excitement doesn’t stop there. BTS will celebrate their 12th anniversary with FESTA 2025, themed ‘Twelve O’Clock.’ The event, inspired by their song Zero O’Clock, symbolizes a new beginning for the group. Offline events will take place in Goyang from June 13-14, though member attendance is still unconfirmed.
V’s latest updates have not only highlighted his friendship with Song Kang but also fueled speculation about his future projects. Whether it’s acting, music, or both, fans are eagerly waiting to see what he does next.
