BTS member V writes a letter to ARMY about Overcoming Fear of Heights in the Military

On June 13th, BTS commemorated their 11th anniversary since their debut with a special event called “2024 FESTA,”which took place at the Jamsil Sports Complex in Seoul.

The BTS members organized a video message to send personal letters to their beloved fans.

Currently, V is a member of the Special Duty Team (SDT) under the ROK II Corps, serving in the military.

In his letter, V expressed, “My military comrades, both junior and senior, have all shown their support and encouragement. They have brought a plethora of new and diverse experiences.”

He boasted, “I have no intention of bragging, but I have also achieved top rankings in certain areas. I excel at shooting as well! I have received numerous praises for my skills.”

“During our training, I have gained a great deal of knowledge about Nogi Judo and Ju-Jitsu from my brave comrades. It has been a transformative experience for me, as I have developed a deep respect for their physical strength and admire their dedication. I am grateful for the opportunity to train alongside them and I am constantly pushing myself to keep up with their level of skill. Although I have received some bruises along the way, I am careful not to push myself beyond my limits. I may have gotten a little overzealous, but I am determined to continue improving.”

He also mentioned, “Recently, during my spare time… I find myself dancing alone in a corner. It’s something I can’t resist. I use dance moves to warm myself up and make sure I don’t completely lose my touch.”

V shared how he overcame his acrophobia, stating, “I am no longer afraid of heights. It was not easy to conquer my fears, but I did it. I was absolutely terrified, but I managed to push through. I am now doing well, and I hope that all of our ARMY members are also doing well and staying safe.”

He expressed, “I hope you all stay healthy and enjoy worry-free days ahead. Being apart, we naturally worry about each other. However, rest assured that there is nothing to worry about until we reunite. And when that day comes, let’s let go of all the bottled-up emotions from our time apart. I am eagerly looking forward to seeing you and I miss you greatly.”
