💂♂️ BTS V (Kim Taehyung) Shares Inspiring Military Moments — A Glimpse Into His Life in Uniform
As fans of BTS, we knew this season would come — the quiet months when we’d miss seeing our favorite idols on stage, on screen, and in everyday updates. But what we didn’t expect was how much warmth and pride we’d feel when hearing stories about them during their military service.
One such story recently surfaced, and it’s about none other than Kim Taehyung, better known as V from BTS. Since enlisting as an active-duty soldier in December 2023, Taehyung has been serving in the Korean military police’s Special Duty Team (SDT) — an elite unit known for its intense physical and mental requirements.
And just as we expected, he’s been giving it his all.
🥇 Model Soldier, Even in the Toughest Conditions
A fellow soldier who served with Taehyung recently shared some heartfelt insights through social media. The post didn’t just talk about his celebrity status — it focused on the dedication, humility, and resilience that V showed every single day.
According to this soldier, Taehyung wasn’t in perfect health during his training. He had pain in his shoulders and legs — but he never used that as an excuse. Instead, he:
- Scored first place in shooting, with a perfect score.
- Finished first in winter urban combat training.
- Won a “model soldier” award, even while injured — a rare and impressive recognition.
What stood out most was the story of their final fitness test. During a 3km run, Taehyung finished far ahead of the benchmark set for elite soldiers. The fellow soldier described the moment as “pure romance,” not in a literal sense, but as something that felt unexpectedly beautiful — a snapshot of grit, effort, and quiet determination.
🤝 Generosity That Goes Beyond the Stage
Even in the rigid environment of the military, Taehyung found ways to care for those around him. He reportedly donated workout equipment to his unit so everyone could train more comfortably. And when granted leave or weekends off, he didn’t hesitate to treat fellow soldiers to hearty meals, like eel rice bowls — known in Korea as a stamina food.
This isn’t surprising for ARMYs who’ve followed him for years. Taehyung has always had a big heart, often putting others before himself. But hearing how he continues to do that — even without cameras, without applause — makes it all the more meaningful.
📆 When Will BTS V Finish His Military Service?
For those counting the days, V is scheduled to be discharged on June 10, 2024. That means we’re now over halfway through this chapter, and the thought of seeing him return — healthy, grounded, and full of stories — is enough to bring a smile to any fan’s face.
It’s also comforting to know he’s not alone in this journey. Fellow BTS members Jin and J-Hope are currently serving as well, with RM, Jungkook, Jimin, and SUGA completing their duties in different units. As each member fulfills this important obligation, their bond only seems to grow stronger — and so does our respect for them.
💜 Why This Story Matters for BTS, ARMY, and K-pop Fans
V’s military story isn’t just another celebrity update. It’s a reminder that behind the global fame, the designer clothes, and the sold-out tours is a young man who chooses to give his best, even when no one is watching.
In the K-pop world — where image, precision, and public appearances matter so much — stories like this show a different kind of success. Taehyung is not just surviving in the military — he’s thriving, inspiring, and leading.
And that’s what being part of BTS is all about: making an impact, even in silence.
As June approaches, I know we’re all imagining what that first post-discharge moment will look like. Will he post on Weverse? Will we get a selfie in uniform? Will he cry? (We might.) One thing is certain: when Taehyung returns, he’ll be met with nothing but love, pride, and anticipation for the next chapter in his journey — both as an artist and as a person.
Until then, we wait — not just patiently, but proudly.
Our Kim Taehyung, our V, continues to be someone we look up to — not just because he’s a global star, but because of the way he lives with sincerity, strength, and heart.
