A fellow soldier who served alongside BTS member Kim Taehyung, also known as V, has shared a heartfelt tribute online, describing how the singer became a source of motivation during their time in the military. The post has touched the hearts of BTS fans, also known as ARMY, and has gone viral on social media.
The soldier, who has recently completed his military service, uploaded several group photos with V, including pictures from training and casual moments like walks, meals, and time spent together in the forest. Along with these photos, he shared a moving handwritten message describing V's inspiring dedication—even when he was injured.
According to the soldier, V stood out during training despite not being in the best physical condition. He mentioned that his own body was in pain, especially his shoulders and thighs, but seeing V achieve so much gave him the motivation to keep going. V reportedly took first place in full-arm shooting and winter city training, and also received the Military Police Exemplary Award—all while dealing with injuries.

One of the most memorable experiences for the soldier was when they completed their final physical fitness test together. He recalled running a 3-kilometer race side by side with V, both of them shouting 'Fighting!' to encourage each other until they reached the finish line. That memory, he said, was especially meaningful.
The soldier explained that watching V's passion and consistency gave him the strength to chase his own dream of becoming a rehabilitation therapist. He added that his military experience became more enjoyable because of V's presence and support. Calling V his 'brother,' he promised to continue working hard without giving up, just like V had shown him.
Fans responded warmly to the post, expressing deep gratitude for the photos and the kind words about V. Many commented how proud they were of him, while others thanked the soldier for sharing such personal and inspiring memories. One fan wrote, 'We're truly proud of him and the entire SDT team. Please stay safe and healthy.' Another added, 'Thank you for being good friends to our Taehyungie.'
Kim Taehyung is currently serving in the
Special Duty Team
(SDT) of the
South Korean military
. Along with fellow BTS members RM, Jungkook, Jimin, and Suga, he is expected to complete his service and return to civilian life in June 2025.

Khushi Bharadwaj on playing a teen on the autism spectrum in Criminal Justice 4: It made me more aware of how overwhelming the world can feel

Khushi Bharadwaj Khushi Bharadwaj , known for her roles in Baalveer Returns, Tiku Weds Sheru, 36 Days, Gyarah Gyarah, and IC 814, is receiving positive feedback for her performance in Criminal Justice: A Family Matter . In the show, she portrays Ira, a teenager on the autism spectrum. Reflecting on the preparation that went into the role, the 17-year-old shares, 'Bringing Ira to life was quite a process. I spent around two weeks doing four-hour workshops every day to understand her world better. My acting coach, Sandeep Ghosh sir, was instrumental in helping me shape the character. I remember being really nervous during the first scene — I wasn't sure if I was getting it right. But gradually, I settled into the role. Playing Ira made me realise how overwhelming and confusing the world can sometimes feel for someone on the spectrum. It gave me a deeper sense of empathy and respect for their lived experience.' Khushi with Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub in a still from Criminal Justice: A Family Matter Despite the demanding shoot, Khushi was also balancing her 10th-grade board exams. Asked how she managed academics alongside a complex role, she admits, 'It wasn't easy. I'd study during breaks on set and made sure to cover extra ground before shooting began. But I believe that when you truly care about both things — acting and studying — you find a way to make it work.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo Grateful for the experience, she adds, 'I'd love to play a character like Ira again, if given the opportunity.

5 hidden locations fans hope return in GTA 6

Image via Rockstar Games The GTA series is no stranger to surprises. From cryptic messages on mountaintops to abandoned shacks deep in the woods, Rockstar Games has a reputation for filling its open worlds with hidden gems. Now, with GTA 6 on the horizon, fans are buzzing with speculation. While the second trailer confirmed the sprawling state of Leonida (a Miami-inspired landscape), many are secretly hoping Rockstar brings back some of the most iconic hidden locations from previous games, this time, reimagined for the next-gen era. Here are 5 hidden spots fans would love to see return in GTA 6 : 1. Bigfoot's Forest (GTA: San Andreas) San Andreas had many myths like UFOs, ghosts, and of course, Bigfoot. While Rockstar denied its presence in the original game, fans swore they saw something lurking in the shadows of Back o' Beyond. Rockstar later acknowledged the myth with actual Bigfoot missions in GTA V . Now, fans want a fresh version: maybe a deep swamp in Leonida with cryptid rumors, hidden trails, and supernatural hints. The Heart of Liberty City - Grand Theft Auto IV 2. The Heart of Liberty City (GTA IV) Remember the literal beating heart inside the Statue of Happiness? This bizarre Easter egg required players to break into the statue and climb a ladder to find a giant heart suspended by chains. It didn't serve a purpose, it was just…there. Eerie, confusing, and unforgettable. Imagine a modern version hidden in Vice City's landmarks, maybe the Leonida Lighthouse holds a few unsettling secrets of its own? 3. Area 69 (GTA: San Andreas) This top-secret military base was the stuff of legend. Area 69 wasn't just well-guarded, it housed UFO parts, alien autopsy rooms, and secrets behind locked doors. For GTA 6 , a new version could be hidden somewhere in Leonida's desert outskirts. Considering Rockstar's growing love for the paranormal, a high-tech, possibly still active base would be a dream return. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Topánky, ktoré si zamiluje každá žena Nakupovať teraz Undo 4. The Hidden Mine (GTA V) In the mountains north of Los Santos was an old, abandoned mine shaft. Most players passed it a hundred times and never noticed it. But if you blew open the entrance, you'd find a creepy old tunnel with a skeleton inside. GTA 6's Leonida seems to have diverse terrains, so, Rockstar could put an underwater shipwreck, or a submerged missile silo filled with lore and locked doors waiting to be explored. GTA Online: How To Find The Mount Gordo Ghost (Ghost Easter Egg) 5. Ghost of Mount Gordo (GTA V) A fan-favorite Easter egg, the ghost of Jolene Cranley-Evans appears on Mount Gordo between 11 PM and midnight in GTA V . Players found clues about her death and the killer through in-game articles and missions. Fans are hoping GTA 6 keeps this spooky tradition alive, maybe through haunted mansions, cursed motel rooms, or entire ghost towns hidden off the main map. As much as fans love the cars, chaos, and storylines, it's these hidden places that give GTA its mystique. They reward curiosity, spark theories, and add layers to the world. Because in GTA , it's not just about what's in plain sight…it's about what's lurking just around the corner.

BTS Reunion 2025: HYBE HQ Decorated With ‘We Are Back' As V, Jungkook, Jimin And More Return

Last Updated: BTS will reunite as a full group this month, with HYBE HQ wrapped in 'We Are Back' signs to mark their return and 12th debut anniversary. BTS fans, rejoice! One of K-pop's most highly anticipated reunions is finally here. All seven members of BTS will be reuniting this month, coinciding with the group's 12th debut anniversary. In celebration, their agency Bighit Music has decorated HYBE headquarters in Seoul's Yongsan District with the slogan 'We Are Back," along with BTS and ARMY's official logos. The decorations, revealed on Monday, will remain on display through June 29 as part of this year's BTS Festa – HYBE's annual celebration of the group's debut. The milestone is particularly emotional for fans this time, as it marks the first time in years that all members will be together again. BTS debuted on June 13, 2013, and will mark 12 years in the industry on Friday. What makes this year's celebration even more significant is that all seven members are completing their mandatory military service this month. V and RM will be discharged on June 10, followed by Jungkook and Jimin on June 11. Suga will be discharged on June 21. Jin, the eldest member, completed his service earlier and is expected to be among the first to participate in full-group activities. This year's Festa includes immersive exhibitions featuring the band's awards, personal voice messages from each member, and a light show. The event will take place at Kintex in Goyang, Gyeonggi, on June 13 and 14. Fans can also visit a special photo zone at Ilsan Lake Park, while nearby city offices will display celebratory banners. Over the years, HYBE has marked BTS' anniversary with powerful slogans. In 2023 and 2024, the agency adorned its headquarters with 'BTS Presents Everywhere" and 'Army Forever BTS Forever," respectively. This year, 'We Are Back" encapsulates the excitement and emotion of a long-awaited reunion. While their official group comeback is slated for 2025, the signs are clear that BTS is on their way back, and the world is ready. For ARMY, this isn't just a comeback, it's the beginning of a new era. First Published: June 09, 2025, 20:53 IST
