Seoul: While BTS V is yet to make an official announcement about his acting stint, multiple Korean media reports claim, Kim Taehyung is working on an acting project.
The vocalist had starred in the historical drama Hwarang: The Warrior Poet in 2016 with close friends Park Seo-joon and Choi Woo-shik.
Of course ARMY is thrilled, and have been trending ‘actor Taehyung is coming’ on Twitter, sharing the news articles. Other fans hope to see him in Squid Game Season 2, as the singer had dressed up in the outfit from the show for one of his concerts. Some said that he would make ‘the best villain’ ever, while others agreed on a CEO in a romantic drama. Officials close to the development had told Korean news outlets that V ‘is working hard’ to release an album with his own details at the end of the year. Apparently, he is also showing a ‘steady interest’ in acting activities as he has developed a special friendship with Park Seo-joon, Park Hyung-sik and Choi Woo-shik. The stars featured in the variety show, In the Soop: Friendcation this year, where they went on a vacation together. Together, the group with Peakboy refer to themselves as ‘Wooga Squad’, a term that they’re not able to explain to their fans either.
The speculation regarding V’s acting projects comes after it was announced that Park Seo-joon and Choi Woo-shik are in talks for the new reality show, Youn’s Kitchen. Choi Woo Shik’s agency Management SOOP had clarified, “It’s true that [Choi Woo Shik] has received a casting offer for the show, but because he is currently in the midst of filming a drama, he is still in talks.”
Some fans even speculated that he might be seen in Squid Game 2.
Meanwhile, all seven members of the popular South Korean music group BTS are looking forward to carrying out their military service with oldest member Jin initiating the process soon. In a statement posted on fan community forum Weverse, the band’s management company BigHit Music said the septet hopes to reconvene as a unit around 2025 following their service commitment.
