BTS’ V teased a big post-military project during his WeVerse live. Fans suspect he’s joining Squid Game 3, but he’s keeping it a mystery.
BTS’ V teases a mystery project after his military discharge, fans speculate it’s Squid Game 3.
BTS member Kim Taehyung, popularly known as V, has sent the internet into overdrive with hints about his upcoming project following his military discharge. The singer, who recently completed his service, went live on WeVerse and teased something “huge” coming up, without revealing any names, but fans think they’ve cracked the code.
V said during the live, “This is probably… Maybe if we wait a little longer, I think it’ll come out. But it’s not really a big deal. Oh, but to me, it’s actually a huge deal.” His cryptic words were enough to send ARMYs into detective mode. The most popular theory? That V might be part of Netflix’s Squid Game franchise, possibly even the upcoming Squid Game 3.
Squid Game Season 3 is going to be released tomorrow‼️Even the thought of possibly seeing Taehyung in the series makes me die from verve and excitement.I would say there is a 40% chance that he might be in it. pic.twitter.com/eJ8AlEIrcX— Stigma★ (@nxtarrv) June 26, 2025
The speculation isn’t new. During BTS’ Permission to Dance on Stage concert, V surprised fans by donning a guard costume reminiscent of Squid Game complete with a mask he removed dramatically. Many took it as an Easter egg hinting at a future collaboration.
The buzz gained momentum when Squid Game actors Lee Jung-jae (Player 456) and Wi Ha-joon (Jun-ho) were asked about V’s involvement during an interview with BuzzFeed UK in January. While neither confirmed anything, their silence only added fuel to the fire. Jung-jae said, “I can’t say anything about that,” while Ha-joon added, “No comment.”
Meanwhile, the final season of Squid Game is all set to premiere this Friday on Netflix. Its creator Hwang Dong-hyuk has already teased that the show will not have a “happy ending”, heightening curiosity even further. If V does make an appearance, it would mark his official acting debut in a major global series, a monumental crossover for both K-drama fans and ARMYs.
V has previously expressed his love for the show, calling himself a fan. And although he’s chosen to remain tight-lipped for now, his live has certainly reignited hope that he may step into a dramatic, dystopian world next.
