BTS' Taehyung made his solo debut in September 2023 with the release of his first solo album, LayoVer, which held the song, Slow Dancing, as its title track. The album was also created as a tribute to the relationship that V shared with his now-late pet dog, Yeontan.

Soon after, V enlisted in the military for his mandatory service. He served as a Sergeant under the Special Duty Team (SDT) of the Military Police's Ssangyong Special Task Force. While enlisted, the idol rolled out a few pre-recorded singles. In March 2024, he released a single called FRI(END)S, which was followed by two Winter singles in December.

One was Winter Ahead with Park Hyo-shin, while the other was a posthumous collaboration with the late American singer and actor Bing Crosby called White Christmas. Additionally, in July 2024, the idol also released his photobook, Type 1, which showcased photos of the idol that were captured during his moments of comfort and relaxation.

Following the successful completion of his military service, V was discharged in June 2025. In July 2025, he attended the 2025 Parish Fashion Week as the ambassador of the luxury fashion brand Celine for their 2026 Spring/Summer Collection Fashion Show.

Apart from these solo activities, the idol is also preparing with his fellow BTS members for the group's comeback in Spring 2026.
