BTS member V spent his 30th birthday not at a flashy party or in a luxury venue, but inside the familiar space of the group’s practice studio — a choice that has drawn warm reactions and curiosity from fans.

V posted several photos and clips on Dec. 30, writing, “1230. The members and my friends really took care of me, so I was happy. Next year, let’s spend it with ARMY.” The photos show V smiling with BTS members in a rehearsal studio, while videos capture the group cheering and celebrating his birthday together.

V, born Dec. 30, 1995, turned 30 this year. Many fans found it meaningful and slightly ironic that he celebrated such a milestone birthday in the same place where BTS has spent countless hours rehearsing.

The setting also sparked speculation among global fans that the group may be preparing for activities soon. Korean media noted that spending time in the practice studio suggests their comeback may not be far away. V also shared moments of celebration with close friends, adding to the warm and personal mood of the post.

BTS recently completed its military service hiatus, often referred to in Korea as the “military break.” The group has announced plans for a new album and a world tour next year, marking what is expected to be one of the most anticipated returns in the global music industry.
