Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS, received a heartwarming surprise on his final day of military service in Chuncheon.
On June 10, Taehyung was officially discharged from the military after completing his 18-month term. He reunited with fellow BTS member RM at a local sports park, where they greeted the press and shared their thoughts on completing their service.
To celebrate this significant milestone, fans organized the stunning “V Road” — a path lined with purple ribbons and heartfelt banners — near Taehyung’s military base in Chuncheon, Gangwon-do.
Embracing the meaning of “Borahae or I Purple You,” the word Taehyung coined to symbolize everlasting love between BTS and ARMY, the streets were decorated with vibrant purple ribbons and 130 banners containing touching messages from fans around the world.
The displays and banners featured messages of love and pride, such as:
"After 548 days, we finally meet again."
"Taehyung, we’ll always be behind you!"
"You worked hard, Taehyung. Congratulations on your discharge."
"Taehyung, let’s never part again."
"Always supporting you, Borahae."
"Every day with Taehyung is a happy one!"

The beautiful banners and the purple ribbons all set up right outside the gate of Taehyung’s base will be the first thing he sees once he steps outside of those gates as a civilian
