ARMY couldn’t be more excited for BTS‘s V to release his highly-anticipated mixtape, dubbed KTH1 by fans, and are once again hoping that a recent update might indicate that the mixtape will be released soon.

In the past, V has opened up about his mixtape multiple times, explaining that while he’s worked on many songs, some have been deleted rather than included. He said that: "Ah lol all the songs I upload are not going on the mixtape, I deleted them after uploading it. I apologize in advance, I don’t even remember."

He has also been vocal about the pressure he feels in releasing solo work and how he’s still trying to narrow down the list of “things [he wants] to try.”

Given BTS’s current focus on solo schedules for the members, fans have suspected that KTH1, or at least more details about the release, could be announced at any moment. Especially since the versatile idol has teased that he had “to lose some weight for this [unspecified] concept.” While it’s possible V was referencing KTH1, as V has also been actively filming different shows and pictorials, this teaser could be referencing anything.

But fans found renewed excitement around the release of KTH1 as V’s individual Spotify, Melon, and Weverse pictures were recently updated. Although the new profile pictures do not guarantee that KTH1‘s release will be announced soon, fans are confident that at least something is coming.

While some ARMY still think it’s too early to get their hopes up (yet again) for KTH1…:

- of course we couldn’t end the year without having a KTH1 IS COMING moment caused by taehyung’s spotify icon

- taehyung watching yall tweet “kth1 is coming” for the 375th time since 2020: :)

- THIS IS SO FUNNY BCZ HE SAID IT BACK IN 2020 THAT HE WOULD RELEASE IT BY THE END OF THAT YEAR BUT OH WELL

- Seriously we're clowns. Tae humbles his fans real quick and yet the fervor is stronger than ever. We're in a cult and we don't want to be saved.

- Taehyung is kidding us

Many ARMY started trending “KTH1 Is Coming” to showcase their excitement:

- Taehyung's profile being updated on Spotify, Weverse and even on Melon so something is cooking and the way 30th December is literally in 3 days, kth1 is coming and we are not ready. And the way he matched his pfp with his ig profile, I can feel in my veins he's gonna release something on his bday

- Maybe a surprise single

- I will kill hybe if they release v's debut album just like that

- on his birthday we have some suprise

- Hope Travel with me is included. I love that song so much.

- I’m not ready at all

- please let it be true

- The fandom will collectively holding it's breath on Dec 29

- That or they didn't let him choose Yeontan again

- OMGGGGGG FUCKING WHATTTTTTTYYT

- Taehyung has updated his profile picture on Spotify, Melon and Weverse. KTH1 IS COMING YALL GET READY

- what if Taehyung drops his album on his birthday…

- taehyung has his profile changed in spotify, weverse, and melon. KTH1 IS COMING SOON???

- Taehyung: I have Lots of songs but I've deleted them / K media :taehyung will be releasing an album in december / Agensi : Change Spotify profile photo / Army : Stay high every hour 23.00 Pm

One sharp-eyed ARMY even noticed that BTS’s profile pictures on Weverse correspond to their most recent release. Suga, Jimin, and Jungkook all have pictures from BTS’s album PROOF. While J-Hope‘s is from Jack In The Box, Jin‘s is from “The Astronaut,” and RM‘s is from Indigo. So if V is following this pattern, he very well could be the next member to release his mixtape.

Only time will tell the purpose behind the profile picture updates, but ARMY are certainly excited for whatever is coming.
