BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) is making headlines once again, this time for his unforgettable moment as a "Squid Game" staff member during BTS's PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - L.A. concert in 2021.

The clip of V dressed in the iconic pink soldier costume has gone viral all over again, especially with the recent global success of Squid Game Season 2.

In 2021, V surprised fans by showing up as a Squid Game pink soldier, a costume that had everyone talking. The BTS concert, which took place in Los Angeles, became even more exciting when V stepped onto the stage in the outfit.

The timing couldn't have been better, as Squid Game Season 2 hit global streaming platforms on December 26 last year and took the world by storm. The show topped the charts in 91 countries in just its second week, keeping the buzz alive and kicking.

Billboard Korea even picked up on the moment, sharing on their official account, "Did you see the 'Squid Game' pink soldier at the BTS concert? The BTS 'PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - L.A.' concert from 2021 is gaining attention again."

They added, "V appeared in the Squid Game pink soldier costume during the concert, receiving great applause from the fans and audience. With Squid Game Season 2's release continuing to be a global hit, the concert videos and photos are going viral once again."

The best part? When V took off his mask during the concert, the audience went wild. The deafening cheers filled the venue as V revealed his face, and the moment quickly became the highlight of the show.

It didn’t take long for social media to explode, with fans and media outlets buzzing about the viral video. Even Netflix couldn’t resist sharing their excitement. They tweeted, "We're obsessed with 'BTS X Squid Game,' but V can never wear a mask," clearly impressed by V’s charming face.

The moment also got major attention from People magazine, which wrote, "It shouldn’t be possible to look that handsome."

And the excitement didn’t stop there – the video of V removing his mask went viral on TikTok, Instagram, and other social media platforms. One TikTok clip alone garnered a massive 13.84 million likes and is fast approaching 100 million views!

On January 4, Squid Game star Lee Jung Jae’s recent interview added more fuel to the fire. When asked if V was part of the cast for Squid Game Season 2 during an interview with BuzzFeed UK, Lee Jung Jae kept quiet with a simple "No comment", but it was enough to send fans into a frenzy.

While there’s no confirmation of V’s involvement, the possibility alone has everyone talking, making this moment even more exciting for fans of both BTS and Squid Game.

As the world continues to buzz about V’s epic "Squid Game" moment, it’s clear that BTS’s V knows how to keep fans on their toes, and this viral moment is proof that his star power is bigger than ever!

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
