BTS’s V (Kim Taehyung) Shares Heartwarming Photos from His Military Discharge Party

BTS’s Kim Taehyung, widely known as V, has officially completed his mandatory military service, and the K-pop world couldn’t be happier. Following his quiet return on June 18, V delighted fans by sharing exclusive photos from his private military discharge party, marking the end of a 1.5-year journey filled with dedication, discipline, and personal growth.

📸 The First Photos After Discharge

In the early hours of June 19, V posted a series of candid and touching photos on Weverse and Instagram, showing moments from his welcome-back party. The images captured his signature smile, warm reunions with friends, and simple decorations, including banners that read “Welcome Back Taehyung” and “Proud of You!”

The BTS member appeared in casual clothes — a plain white tee, black slacks, and a baseball cap — exuding effortless charm and a sense of peace. His post-service visuals sparked immediate buzz online, with many noting his mature aura and glowing appearance.

“Taehyung is back and looking better than ever!” wrote one fan on X (Twitter).

“He survived the military and came back like a K-drama lead!” another joked.

🪖 Reflections on Service

Although V kept his military service mostly low-key, reports throughout the past year confirmed that he served in the Special Task Force of the ROK Army’s Capital Defense Command, one of the more elite units. This meant rigorous training, discipline, and physical endurance, which V reportedly handled with grace and humility.

During his discharge party, Taehyung took a moment to express his gratitude toward his fellow soldiers and fans.

“Thank you for waiting. It was a time of learning, challenge, and growth. I’ll return everything I received with great music and love,” he shared in a handwritten note photographed at the party.

🎉 BTS Members’ Silent Support

Although no official BTS group reunion was documented, sources close to the idol confirmed that some members — particularly J-Hope, RM, and Jin, who have already completed service — reached out personally to congratulate him. Others, like Jungkook and Jimin (still in service), are expected to reunite with V later in the year.

🎵 What’s Next for V?

With his discharge, V now rejoins the entertainment industry with a renewed sense of purpose and strength. Fans are already anticipating a solo comeback, possibly even a special stage performance before the full BTS reunion in 2025.

HYBE has yet to release an official comeback schedule, but industry insiders hint that Taehyung is working on a new solo album and may even make a special appearance at upcoming year-end festivals.

🌎 ARMY Rejoices Online

Within minutes of the post going live, ARMY (BTS’s fandom) made several hashtags trend globally, including:

• #WelcomeBackTaehyung
  
  

• #VIsBack
  
  

• #ProudOfYouTaehyung
  
  

Fan projects, donation drives, and digital billboards celebrating his return have also been spotted in Seoul, New York, Tokyo, and Manila.

“We missed him every day. Now it’s time to see him shine again,” said a fan page on Instagram.

🧠 Military Service and Celebrity Image

South Korean male celebrities often face a turning point during their mandatory enlistment. For V, it seems his service has only strengthened his public image, showcasing not only his patriotism but also his personal growth and humility.

K-media outlets praised V’s graceful approach to enlistment and discharge, noting that he managed to complete his duty with no controversy, no distractions, and complete focus.

“He’s a role model for young idols,” stated a local entertainment journalist.

🗓️ BTS's Future Post-Military

With Jin, J-Hope, RM, and now V discharged, BTS is getting closer to its long-awaited 2025 comeback. HYBE has hinted at a full group reunion project by Q3 2025, aligning perfectly with the timelines of Jungkook and Jimin’s expected discharges later this year.

Taehyung’s early return has energized the fandom and set the tone for BTS’s second chapter.
