More about BTS' Taehyung's latest and upcoming projects while serving in the military

Taehyung enlisted in the military in December 2023, with his bandmates RM, Jimin, and Jungkook. Notably, he became the only BTS member to join the Special Duty Team (SDT), a unit specializing in counter-terrorism training that demands rigorous physical preparation.

This intense regimen was evident in his toned physique, highlighted in a dance video shared by choreographer Lee Jung-lee. Before his enlistment, V left fans with numerous projects, including his solo debut album Layover, released a few months prior.

Post-enlistment, his label released a collaborative track with Seattle-born artist UMI titled 'wherever u r'. In early 2024, he featured on IU's single Love Wins All and later dropped his solo track FRI(END)S, showcasing his creative versatility.

Continuing his tradition of winter releases, V collaborated with singer Park Hyo-shin on Winter Ahead, accompanied by two music videos—one inspired by Greek mythology and another cinematic version featuring Park Hyo-shin. He recently announced a new rendition of Bing Crosby’s festive classic White Christmas, set for release on December 6, 2024.
