BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) is making headlines once again, this time for his unforgettable moment as a "Squid Game" staff member during BTS's PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - L.A. concert in 2021.

The clip of V dressed in the iconic pink soldier costume has gone viral all over again, especially with the recent global success of Squid Game Season 2.

In 2021, V surprised fans by showing up as a Squid Game pink soldier, a costume that had everyone talking. The BTS concert, which took place in Los Angeles, became even more exciting when V stepped onto the stage in the outfit.

The timing couldn't have been better, as Squid Game Season 2 hit global streaming platforms on December 26 last year and took the world by storm. The show topped the charts in 91 countries in just its second week, keeping the buzz alive and kicking.

Billboard Korea even picked up on the moment, sharing on their official account, "Did you see the 'Squid Game' pink soldier at the BTS concert? The BTS 'PERMISSION TO DANCE ON STAGE - L.A.' concert from 2021 is gaining attention again."

They added, "V appeared in the Squid Game pink soldier costume during the concert, receiving great applause from the fans and audience. With Squid Game Season 2's release continuing to be a global hit, the concert videos and photos are going viral once again."

The best part? When V took off his mask during the concert, the audience went wild. The deafening cheers filled the venue as V revealed his face, and the moment quickly became the highlight of the show.

It didn’t take long for social media to explode, with fans and media outlets buzzing about the viral video. Even Netflix couldn’t resist sharing their excitement. They tweeted, "We're obsessed with 'BTS X Squid Game,' but V can never wear a mask," clearly impressed by V’s charming face.

The moment also got major attention from People magazine, which wrote, "It shouldn’t be possible to look that handsome."

And the excitement didn’t stop there – the video of V removing his mask went viral on TikTok, Instagram, and other social media platforms. One TikTok clip alone garnered a massive 13.84 million likes and is fast approaching 100 million views!

On January 4, Squid Game star Lee Jung Jae’s recent interview added more fuel to the fire. When asked if V was part of the cast for Squid Game Season 2 during an interview with BuzzFeed UK, Lee Jung Jae kept quiet with a simple "No comment", but it was enough to send fans into a frenzy.

While there’s no confirmation of V’s involvement, the possibility alone has everyone talking, making this moment even more exciting for fans of both BTS and Squid Game.

As the world continues to buzz about V’s epic "Squid Game" moment, it’s clear that BTS’s V knows how to keep fans on their toes, and this viral moment is proof that his star power is bigger than ever!

Kim Soo Hyun’s agency, Gold Medalist, has spoken up about the recent controversy involving the late Sulli and her bed scene in the 2017 movie Real.

On April 2, Gold Medalist released an official statement saying, “From the very beginning, the role of Song Yoohwa, played by the late Sulli, included a bed scene. This was clearly stated during casting, and the actress had to be comfortable with it.”

They explained, “Just like job listings mention necessary qualifications, this role required exposure, and that was made clear in advance. If these things are only discussed after casting, it can create unnecessary pressure on the actor.”

The agency also emphasized, “Sulli and her agency were fully aware of the bed scene before she accepted the role. The script clearly described the level of exposure required, and the contract also included these details.”

Addressing rumors about a body double, they stated, “There was no body double for the acting. A ‘standing actor’ was only used during rehearsals to help with movement cues.”

Gold Medalist also included statements from Real’s assistant director Kim Joong Wook and script supervisor Lee Jun Hyun, confirming, “No actor was ever forced into doing a bed scene or nudity. That would never happen on set.”

As for claims that they contacted Sulli’s mother, the agency denied it and responded to her brother’s accusations, saying, “It’s understandable to have concerns about things heard at the funeral. However, bringing up something from six years ago and spreading false information as if it were personally witnessed is hard to accept.”

Finally, they urged people to stop spreading false rumors, saying, “Many people worked hard on Real, and these baseless accusations are hurtful. Also, there have been false rumors targeting Kim Soo Hyun recently. We sincerely ask for an end to speculative reports and misinformation.”

This comes after the late Sulli’s older brother, Choi, raised concerns on March 28 about the bed scene in Real, demanding answers from Kim Soo Hyun and director Lee Sa Rang.
