BTS V In The First Frost: A scene from episode 26 of the ongoing Chinese drama The First Frost recently caught the attention of BTS fans, as it featured a reference to Kim Taehyung, also known as V. In the episode, the female protagonist, Wen Yifan, is seen about to text a character named Sang Yan. However, eagle-eyed viewers quickly noticed a contact saved in her phone as "V Kang," along with V’s profile picture. What made the moment even more exciting was that the character had ten unread messages from this contact.
As soon as the clip circulated online, fans couldn’t contain their excitement, joking that Taehyung was “everywhere” and calling it a sign of his future as an actor. Social media buzzed with reactions, with one fan posting, "Girl, the 10 unread messages from Kim Taehyung??? You better reply to him ASAP!" Others shared similar sentiments, expressing how much they missed him.
Another fan tweeted, “He’s everywhere. Lately, everything has been pointing at actor Kim Taehyung. The universe is trying to tell us something.” Some even speculated that the world was sending hints about his return to acting, while others humorously referred to him as "Kang in the Chinese universe."

While fans are still celebrating this unexpected appearance, Kim Taehyung has also been making headlines for his military achievements. On February 23, 2025, he took to Instagram to announce his promotion to the rank of sergeant. Sharing his excitement, he wrote:
"Sergeant Kim has come to report that he's alive! It’s D-107. After the scary winter has passed, and after taking care of my body in the warm spring, I'll prepare in good health and come to see you."
Aside from his military service, Taehyung has also been active in music. On November 29, 2024, he collaborated with singer Park Hyo-shin on the song Winter Ahead. Shortly after, on December 6, he released a soulful rendition of Bing Crosby’s classic White Christmas. The BTS member enlisted for his mandatory military service on December 11, 2023, alongside fellow bandmate RM (Kim Namjoon). He is expected to be discharged in June 2025, and fans are eagerly waiting for his return.
