BTS’ Taehyung honored for outstanding military service and leadership ahead of discharge
BTS member Kim Taehyung, also called V, started his compulsory military service on December 11, 2023, enlisting with fellow group members RM, Jimin, and Jungkook. He joined the Military Police Corps as part of the Ssangyong Unit of the 2nd Corps after basic training on February 8, 2024.
Not long after enlisting, V was chosen for the Special Duty Team (SDT), an elite unit that specializes in counter-terrorism and tactical operations. Exemplifying great leadership skills, he was promoted to platoon leader (trainee) only 18 days into service and later as an elite trainee in January 2024.
During his tenure, V continued to excel while enduring physical adversity, such as a cracked rib he incurred during duty. He was awarded the position of Special Warrior on March 3, 2025, and then promoted to Sergeant First Class 10 days later. His physical training, endurance test, and marksmanship skills were also rewarded with the Military Police Excellence Award on April 19, 2025.
In addition, Taehyung was praised for his actions in a genuine emergency situation in a stabbing accident, and he earned the SDT Exemplary Award and the title of Full-Arm Marksman Special Shooter. Even outside his regular work, comrades have commented favorably on V’s character, citing his kindness—e.g., donating fitness equipment to his unit and taking them out to eat regularly.
BTS member V is scheduled to complete his military service on June 10, 2025, alongside RM. The day after, Jimin and Jungkook are also expected to be discharged. SUGA, who has been serving as a social service worker, is projected to finish his duties toward the end of June.
