V is back!
The BTS superstar surprised fans on Tuesday (June 25) by announcing a new music project titled TYPE 1, though it's not immediately clear if the announcement is about a song or an album. The new release is expected to be released on July 9.
The announcement, shared on social media, also included a steamy cover photo showing a shirtless V leaning against a wall, his hand gripping the waistband of his pants. “Still wonder wonder beautiful story/ Still wonder wonder best part/ I still wonder wonder next story/ I want to make you my mine,” reads the text on the photo in white script.
In March, V dropped his first post-military draft single, “FRI(END)S”, which was written entirely in English. The song followed the September 2023 EP Standwhich the K-pop star left just two months before starting his mandatory service in the South Korean army alongside bandmates RM, Jimin, Jung Kook, Jin, J-Hope and Suga, who have also enlisted.
V previously confirmed that he had lined up a few projects to release during his absence, writing in a December statement that he had “prepared a lot of things” for the 18-month period. “I will miss you so much,” she wrote at the time, translated into English. “Actually, I'm very sad that I can't make happy memories with my ARMY for now […] it's the hardest thing not to see the ARMY.”
As a solo artist, V has scored four songs on the Billboard Hot 100 — including “FRI(END)S.” He reached his highest peak to date in 2023 with “Slow Dancing”, which debuted at No. 51 on the chart.
