On July 1, 2025, BTS’ Kim Taehyung arrived in South Korea following the completion of a brief work-related schedule in Japan. The artist had departed on June 29 without drawing much public attention, right after attending bandmate Jin’s concert the previous day.
His comeback was captured on video as he stepped out of the airport in a black outfit.
When he arrived, one reporter called out, “It's been a long time a while, have you been well?" Taehyung paused, removed his headphone from one ear, and nodded casually.
He then seemed to give out a chuckle when the individual added, “Missed you alot.”

The K-pop idol casually dropped that he’s been busy with something new, although he withheld further details.
"This is probably… Maybe if we wait a little longer, I think it'll come out. But, it’s not really a big deal. Oh, but to me, it's actually a huge deal," V said while chatting with fans.

He kicked things off with five weeks of boot camp, followed by three more weeks of training at the Army General Administration School.
After that, the K-pop idol was placed with the 2nd Division in Chuncheon, in the Gangwon area.
