On November 21st, BIGHIT Music shared an announcement that the remaining members of BTS, such as RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, were starting preparations for their mandatory military service, just like Jin, J-Hope, and Suga.
Days later, V shared through his Instagram stories an image where there appeared a lot of hair on the ground along with an emoji that insunuated a haircut, which caused much surprise and sadness for the ARMYs who imagined that the idol had shaved his head for his military enlistment, since that is a mandatory requirement.

However, after posting the image, V started a live stream on Weverse where he revealed that, unlike what many thought, the BTS member did not cut off all of his hair; he just had a little trimming to look cooler.
After this magnificent revelation, many hashtags like #HESNOTBALD and #HESTILLHASHAIR, among others that alluded to V’s haircut, became trending on social network ‘X’ (Twitter), and fans were happy and relieved to know that it was just a typical idol’s trick.
