V, whose birth name is Kim Tae-hyung, set the hearts of fans racing with a tantalizing glimpse of what he and his BTS bandmates have been brewing. On Saturday, September 27, the South Korean singer-songwriter sent the ARMY (BTS's fanbase) into a whirlwind of excitement by sharing a spontaneous photodump, which included several silent video snippets captured inside a recording studio. Though brief and devoid of sound, these clips were sufficient to ignite a feverish buzz among fans, all eager to decipher what might be on the horizon. One fan exclaimed, "All these video clips with no sound are such a tease! I can't wait to hear what they've been cooking up!" Another enthused, "They're putting so much effort into this album — I just know it's going to be incredible!"
Others highlighted the infectious energy emanating from the clips, with one fan remarking, "The studio session footage is such a tease, but what truly makes me happiest is the genuine joy they always seem to exude while making music." Among the array of photos, one snapshot featured the 29-year-old artist striking a pose alongside J Hope and BTS leader RM. Another showed him in the company of R&B sensation Prince Charlez, a prolific songwriter who has penned hits for the likes of Usher, Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and Rihanna.
While rumors swirl about a new BTS group album, with production reportedly commencing in July 2025 and a release date set for spring 2026, some fans speculate that the "Love Me Again" crooner might also be gearing up to unveil his second solo project, unofficially dubbed "KTH2." Following his military discharge in June, the anticipation surrounding a new solo album by V has only intensified, especially since his debut solo album, "Layover," was released two years ago on September 8, 2023, boasting the chart-topping title track "Slow Dancing."
