On January 12, 2025, excitement swept across social media as BTS’ Taehyung, also known as V, hinted at an intriguing new project. The official BTS platforms shared a mysterious monochrome poster featuring a Parisian landscape with the Eiffel Tower in view.
The image carried the title Rêvé in elegant italic calligraphy, accompanied by a caption detailing pre-order and release dates: January 14 and February 3, 2025, respectively. The title, Rêvé, derives from the French word meaning "dream," "ambition," or "daydream."
The word’s rich meanings fueled fan discussions, with some interpreting it as a reference to a creative vision inspired by Paris, while others saw it as a metaphor for aspirations. Adding to the intrigue, the poster included a small French phrase that read:
Trending
"cette sensation de liberté que j'ai ressentie à Paris, la beauté instantanée, Une scène rêveuse vue du regard de V."
As translated by Google:
"That feeling of freedom I felt in Paris, the instant beauty, a dreamy scene from the look of V."
The cryptic announcement left fans of the idol buzzing with speculation. The nature of Rêvé remains undisclosed, sparking debates over whether it could be a photo book, a music project, or another creative endeavor. An X user, @KTH_Facts wrote:
