BTS' Kim Taehyung resumed his idol life on June 11, only a day after wrapping up his military obligations. The singer was spotted at a dance studio alongside choreographer Leejung Lee, signaling a swift shift back to performance work.
A pair of videos featuring V and Leejung was posted. Both artists wore similar camo-patterned trousers and solid-colored tops, maintaining a uniform appearance.
These videos follow up on a previous dance collaboration released around six months ago, which had gained significant online engagement. One of the newly shared reels features the duo dancing to a remix of Don’t Drop That Thun Thun.
The short-form video was posted on Leejung’s Instagram with the caption “& @thv MilitaryTwins,” a reference to their matching attire. V later reshared the same on his Instagram story. Another clip featured the track WHATCHU KNO ABOUT ME.
On June 11, 2025, BTS' Taehyung dropped a group picture on his Instagram account, @thv. The image showed him gathering with the Wooga crew after wrapping up his army enlistment.
Joining him in the frame were actors Park Seo-joon, Park Hyung-sik, Choi Woo-shik, and musician Peakboy. All five stood side by side in white tees that carried the phrase “Hwanyeonghae,” a Korean word meaning “Welcome.”
The pose matched their earlier snapshot from 2023, captured just ahead of Taehyung’s military departure. In both shots, the BTS member remained in the center spot.
