BTS' V completes first reservist training, shares everyday moments on social media

BTS member V, whose real name is Kim Tae-hyung, has shared an update after completing his first military reservist training.

V posted several photos on his personal social media account Thursday with the caption "Just living like this, roughly."

The photos showed V in reservist training gear, with a "Top Warrior" patch on his uniform drawing particular attention. One image carried the caption "First reservist training." Even in disheveled reservist fatigues, the global star's presence came through.

V shared glimpses of an ordinary day in his reservist uniform — eating toast, checking a public transit route map and boarding a bus.

Other photos showed him riding a bus with a hood pulled over his face and photographing kimbap at a snack bar, capturing small, everyday moments.

V enlisted in December 2023 and served with the Special Duty Team (SDT) of the Military Police Corps under the Army's 2nd Corps, before being discharged on June 10 last year.

Meanwhile, BTS kicks off the Asian leg of its world tour "Arirang" in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, on Nov. 19. The tour, which began in April, spans 34 cities across North America, Europe, South America, Asia and Oceania.
