In June 2025, news that thrilled ARMYs worldwide arrived: BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) completed his military service and returned! V's return signifies more than just an individual's homecoming; it significantly elevates anticipation for BTS's full group activities. Today, we delve into V's post-military plans and the future of BTS.
V diligently served in the 2nd Army Corps Military Police Special Task Force after enlisting in December 2023. On June 10th, 2025, he was discharged to a warm welcome from fans. While Big Hit Music requested fans refrain from visiting due to safety concerns, their hearts already celebrated his new beginning. V's discharge marks the end of BTS's military hiatus, increasing anticipation for their comeback. His consistent communication with fans throughout his service makes his return even more special.
V has already proven his solo artist capabilities. His first solo album, 'Layover,' released in September 2023, showcased his unique musical style. This album, featuring 1970s soul-influenced pop R&B, highlighted V's smooth, captivating vocals. The title track, 'Slow Dancing,' gained worldwide popularity, setting a successful foundation for his solo career. Post-discharge, V is expected to further develop his musical talents. He will likely utilize his songwriting, composing, and producing skills to build his unique musical world. Collaborations with various artists are also highly anticipated.
V's discharge maximizes the anticipation for BTS's full group comeback. Following their anthology album 'Proof' in June 2022, BTS temporarily suspended group activities, focusing on individual solo projects and military service. However, the members consistently expressed their desire for a reunion, and fans eagerly await their return. Starting with RM and V's discharge in June 2025, Jimin, Jungkook, and Suga are also scheduled to complete their service, rejoining the group. Big Hit Music announced preparations for collaborations with top-tier composers for BTS's full group activities, and the members are reportedly developing ideas for new albums and performances. A full BTS comeback is expected as early as late 2025 or early 2026 at the latest. We eagerly await their return through new albums, global tours, and fan meetings.
V has received recognition for his talents in music, acting, and fashion. His acting debut in the drama 'Hwarang' showcased his potential, and his excellent fashion sense has established him as a global fashion icon. Post-discharge, V is expected to remain active in various fields. He may take on new acting roles, collaborate with fashion brands, appear on variety shows, or launch a personal YouTube channel to connect with fans more closely. V will continue growing as a versatile artist, consistently revealing new facets of himself.
V has expanded his musical horizons through collaborations with diverse artists. Past collaborations with artists like Park Hyo-shin and Bing Crosby generated exciting musical synergies. His duet with Bing Crosby, 'White Christmas,' became a global sensation. After his discharge, V is expected to continue exploring musical collaborations. Working with artists from various genres like pop, rock, and hip-hop will enrich his musical identity.
V's discharge brings immense joy and hope to BTS fans. Through both solo and group activities, V will continue to showcase his diverse talents. We anticipate his achievements in music, acting, and fashion, and support BTS's new chapter. Together with fans who will help shape V and BTS's bright future, we look forward to their continued growth and positive energy.
