Is Kim Taehyung in Squid Game Season 3? BTS V Cameo Rumors Explained

The internet is buzzing, ARMYs are on high alert, and Netflix fans are rewatching every frame—is BTS’s Kim Taehyung really making a surprise appearance in Squid Game Season 3?

While there's no official confirmation yet, the signs are strong enough to keep fans theorizing (and obsessing). Let’s break down everything we know so far.

The Clues That Started It All

This isn’t the first time Taehyung (aka V) has been linked to Squid Game. In fact, it started back in 2021 when he walked on stage in a Squid Game-style red jumpsuit and mask during a BTS concert. Fans at the time brushed it off as a playful nod to pop culture. But now? That moment feels suspiciously like foreshadowing.

Recently, V mentioned in a Weverse live that he had something “huge and meaningful” lined up. Though he didn’t drop any names, fans believe this mysterious project could be a cameo or guest role in Squid Game 3, which premiered on Netflix on June 27, 2025.

Cast Sightings & “No Comments”

Adding fuel to the fire, Taehyung has been spotted spending time with Squid Game actors like Lee Jung-jae and Wi Ha-joon, as well as other Korean drama stars and directors—including Park Chan-wook. Fans have even noted the timing aligns perfectly, with parts of Season 3 being filmed just before his military enlistment.

When reporters asked the cast about his possible appearance, they refused to confirm or deny anything. That classic “you’ll have to watch and see” answer? It’s got everyone convinced.

Where Would V Fit In?

Here’s where things get interesting. Online fan theories point to Episode 3 as the one to watch. It’s rumored to introduce new characters and a potential underground faction. Could Taehyung be playing a rebel contestant? A disguised VIP? Or even a masked enforcer?

Some fans think his role may be small—but powerful. Even a 30-second cameo would be enough to break the internet.
