[The Fact|Reporter Park Ji Yoon] BTS member V cut his hair short and shared his thoughts about enlisting in the army.
On the 5th, V broadcast live on Weverse, a global fan community, and interacted with fans. On that day, he attracted attention when he did a live broadcast as a complete group with RM, Jimin and Jungkook, and then he met fans as an individual.
V appeared with short hair and he expressed his feelings before enlisting: "I'm really excited. Maybe we have to be apart once to know how precious we are when we get back together. He promised: "Going there, I will nurture my health and physical strength to be strong and solid so that even if I do a concert 10 times in the future, I won't feel tired at all."
After that, V shared the reason he asked for a special rental at Subangsa Temple. He emphasized: "Next, V also shared the reason why he joined the Capital defense Command. He said: "There is also an article about where I am going. The Army (fandom name) must also be very worried. To be honest, I just wanted a test run so I just went for it. I also have my goals, so don't worry too much."
He reassured fans: "I know how to protect myself when necessary, so I will return healthy and uninjured. I will return with a smile on my face."
Additionally, when asked by fans, "When are you going to shave your whole head?" V predicted that he will work hard before enlisting: "I still have a lot of filming schedules. Tomorrow we will also film. Me too. I have never had a rest."
Finally, V said: "ARMY, thank you so much for giving me such precious experiences and gifts. We have prepared a lot of new songs and content for you, Please wait."
Previously, management company Big Hit Music said on this day: "RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook will enlist as active duty soldiers to perform their military service." Big Hit also said: "There will not be any special official events."
BTS' military service started last year. Jin, the eldest brother in the group, enlisted in December 2022, and J-Hope enlisted in April last year. SUGA was hospitalized in September and is currently working as a social worker.
