Since officially being discharged from the military, the members of BTS in general — and V in particular — have barely had a real day off, immediately diving into personal projects and activities. From returning to music, variety shows, events, and advertisements to even solo tours, the members have revived the fandom spirit after nearly three years of hiatus due to military service.

Meanwhile, V has continuously become the center of attention with his packed personal schedule. His strong and determined return is not only evident in the fashion field but also raises high expectations in music.

The Celine Printemps 2026 fashion show in early July is considered his first public event since his discharge. Before and after that period, he had also been quietly working, preparing for several new projects — soмєтнing fans only realized when he teased a few small details.

Most recently, fans couldn’t forget the buzz V caused when he flew to Los Angeles to reunite with the other BTS members, preparing for the upcoming album set to release in the spring of next year.

While fans were certain that V was still at BTS’s creative camp in the U.S., in reality, he had already returned to South кσяєα a few days ago. In a photo shared online by a discharged sol∂ιєr, V's presence was confirmed. It shows that V had visited his old military unit and reunited with his former comrades.

Not only that, a trending topic on TheQoo titled “Taehyung confirmed the location, so I’m sharing the photo I took this weekend!” included two photos of V with two children. These pictures were revealed to have been taken during his recent trip back to his hometown Daegu.

Last weekend, he returned to his hometown and met up with childhood friends. The children seen in his arms or holding his hand are actually the kids of his friends.

Fans were delighted by V’s simple appearance and his friendly, down-to-earth demeanor while playing with the children. Although it was just an ordinary moment, V’s υиєχρє¢тє∂ appearance in his hometown moved fans emotionally.

Known for being a warm and sentimental person, V has repeatedly expressed his attachment to his hometown and the close friends he has there. Despite being a global superstar, small actions like taking time for old friends and their children reveal a warmer, more personal side of him. At the same time, this proves that V always maintains long-lasting and sincere connections with friends from before his debut.
