BTS’s V is at the center of a fan frenzy after the release of the final season of Squid Game — but he did not appear.
The rumors have been swirling for years. In 2022, V went viral for his Squid Game cosplay during a BTS concert.
As Squid Game teased its third and final season, fans speculated wildly that V would make a surprise cameo.
The show’s lead actors were even asked if V would be joining the cast.
Fans flooded Twitter with hopes and jokes. One fan declared:
“if taehyung appears in squid game tomorrow i am transferring money to everyone’s account.”
Searches for V skyrocketed right before the finale dropped, with social media noting:
“Taehyung has reached a Peak of 100% on Google Worldwide & over 30 Countries trends, Net Worth & Squid Game up 200% in searches!”
But when the finale aired on June 27, V was nowhere to be found.
Disappointed netizens took to Twitter to call out the false hopes.
“and with that tae in squid game theories ends” — fan tweet
“Squid Game officially ended with no Kim Taehyung in it….” — fan reaction
“the Taehyung squid game cameo speculations ends here…. it was a fun clowning session” — fan comment
The hype train stops here. No “Actor V” this time around. Fans are left waiting for his next onscreen appearance.
