Therefore, he asked the director if he would work with Taehyung on any of his upcoming movies.

Additionally, he also pointed out that the idol also showcased several passionate qualities of an actor.
Here's what the director stated about the BTS member's acting during his recent interview at the 2025 Muju Mountain Film Festival:
"For me, if Taehyung would be willing to do so, I would be so grateful. I would love to work with him, even if I had to make up a role and ask him. And on set, we had fun working together. We only filmed for 2 days, and he enlisted, I think, about 2 days after filming that."
He continued:
"Almost right before enlisting, he filmed with us and cut his hair right after he was done filming, and then left the next day, I think. To that extent, he really wanted to work together. He was very passionate about it. And that's when I knew that he had a desire for acting. And for real, I'm not joking, but it would be so good if we could work together in the future."
Love Wins All Director Uhm Tae-hwa reveals BTS' Taehyung's contribution to the music video plot
Love Wins All is a track released by the K-pop soloist and actress, IU, in January 2024. The music video of the same featured both IU and Taehyung. Fans have previously seen the idol take up acting roles in BTS' music videos, in the 2016 K-drama series, Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth. His role in Love Wins All further exceeded their expectations for his acting career.
The music video was not only praised by several fans and netizens but also gathered an impressive 95 million+ views. It also made history as the most-viewed K-pop music video in 2024 within 24 hours of its release. With Taehyung's military discharge being right around the corner, on June 10, many fans have been thrilled about the possible continuation of his acting career.
With regards to the same, during his interview at the 2025 Muju Mountain Festival, the Love Wins All director also shared a few behind-the-scenes stories from the filming set of the music video. Uhm Tae-hwa explained that he had to change around a few plotlines of the music video due to the time constraint, and explained that Taehyung majorly helped with the same.
The director stated that although he wanted to film a particular scene, he was struggling to execute the same since the filming was restricted to two days. However, Taehyung pushed the director to consider an alternative for the scene, and the director took up the suggestion as it felt relevant and equivalent to the idea he held for the scene.
Here's what Uhm Tae-hwa stated:
"Originally.. Well in the end, they sing while wearing the wedding dress. There was this scene where they're up on the stage, singing. The two of them were originally supposed to dive into the audience and crowd surf. But with only having 2 days, we really didn't have enough time."
He continued:
"But as a director, I really wanted to film that scene. I thought it would enhance how their emotions erupt. So until the end I was trying to make it work, and then Taehyung convinced me. He said, "Instead of this, how about we film another scene better?" So he convinced me, and we really didn't have enough time."
The director concluded by explaining:
"If we kept my idea, then we might not have had time to film the other scenes. So everyone including the audience actors were worrying how to do this scene. So Taehyung talked me out of doing that scene, and said to the audience actors, "Everyone, I got rid of this scene!" And I remember everyone got so happy and cheered out loud."
On the other hand, fans and netizens have been eagerly looking forward to the idol's return from the military on June 10, 2025.
