BTS' V Returns to South Korea's Reserve Forces Training After Military Discharge
BTS member V, also known as Kim Taehyung, has returned to military training as part of South Korea's mandatory Reserve Forces program, which requires discharged servicemen to complete periodic training for eight years after active duty. V shared photos of himself in uniform, confirming his participation in the first Reserve Forces training session since completing active service in June 2025. His appearance in uniform reflects ongoing military obligations rather than reenlistment.
