im Taehyung, better known by his stage name V as member of the award-winning K-pop music group BTS, recently surprised his fans after he released a song snippet from his upcoming mixtape.
In the early morning on Thursday, V shared on Twitter a 40-second black-and-white video preview of his currently untitled solo track as he expressed his love for his ARMY fans, whom he so misses.
V captioned his tweet with a heartwarming message to BTS fans as he also encouraged them to quickly listen to the song spoiler as he might delete it—which he eventually did shortly after.
Luckily, dazzled fans were quick to save V’s short but sweet recordings and even took a screenshot of his post, which they also shared with other fans who might have missed it.

In a thread, Twitter user @vminysl also shared a translation of V’s tweet, which reads, “It’s a day in which I miss ARMY so so… so so much although it’s not finished, please listen to this small spoiler at least and wait #MightDeleteTomorrow… before I change #MyMind quickly…”
From the clip, emotional English lyrics can be clearly heard: “Wise words were given to me from the heart of the loveless. I play games, fix the puzzles, though I’m missing pieces. And it looks like my life is just perfect. I’m trying to save my life. Saving myself with an umbrella!”
As V made a finger heart pose while the video played, fans noticed how he wrote the word “ARMY” using his finger, and they could not get enough of it.
This unexpected release of V’s song snippet really shocked the BTS fans, and their excitement made several keywords trend on Twitter worldwide including #KTH1iscoming.
Last month, V hinted in a live broadcast that he has been dedicated to writing songs, adding he would be making a mixtape this year. He also said that the other BTS members are working on new content to produce for the ARMY.
Meanwhile, apart from his music plans, V was recently hailed as “Most Handsome Man in the World” in 2020 as selected by YouTube channel Top10World, besting some well-known international Hollywood stars like Chris Evans, Tom Hiddleston, Henry Cavill, Zayn Malik, Chris Hemsworth and many more.
