BTS Member V Returns to Military for Mandatory Reserve Forces Training
BTS member V, also known as Kim Taehyung, has returned to military training to fulfill South Korea's mandatory Reserve Forces training obligation. This comes more than a year after he completed his active-duty service in June 2025. Videos and images circulating on social media on November 12, 2026, show V in his military uniform, which caught the attention of fans. He was specifically noted to be wearing badges associated with his previous role in the Special Duty Team (SDT), an elite unit involved in specialized military missions. South Korean law requires eligible men to participate in these refresher drills annually for six to eight years after completing their active service, typically lasting one to three days, to maintain military skills.
