In today’s throwback series, we take a trip down memory lane to revisit the moment when BTS’ V sent fans into a frenzy, sparking rumors of his possible appearance in Squid Game Season 2. Known for his charming and spontaneous nature, V, also known as Kim Taehyung, has a habit of casually mingling with celebrities, and one such interaction had fans buzzing with excitement.

The iconic moment took place in December 2021 when Lee Jung Jae, the leading star of the globally acclaimed Netflix series Squid Game, surprised fans by sharing a selfie with the Slow Dancing singer. Posted on December 27, the photo featured both stars looking casual yet effortlessly stylish. V, with his signature smile and victory symbol, sported a cozy beige sweater, while Lee Jung Jae wore a relaxed grey sweatshirt. The post, though simple and without a caption, was enough to stir wild speculation among fans.

What made the moment even more intriguing was the timing. Just days before the selfie was shared, V was spotted at BTS’ Permission to Dance on Stage concert in Los Angeles dressed in a red jumpsuit and black mask; a costume eerily reminiscent of the guards in Squid Game. This playful nod to the hit series had ARMYs doing a double-take, wondering if it was merely a fun tribute or something more.
