Did BTS' V Appear in Squid Game 3? Here's the Truth Behind the Viral Cameo Rumors

As Netflix dropped the much-anticipated final season of Squid Game on June 27, fans were buzzing with one big question: Did BTS’ V (Kim Taehyung) make a surprise cameo? After months of speculation, cosplay throwbacks, and viral theories, the release finally answered the rumor—but not in the way many had hoped.

📈 Rumors Took Over the Internet

Speculation about V’s involvement in Squid Game has been circulating for years. The theory gained momentum after he wore a Squid Game-inspired pink guard outfit during a BTS concert in 2022—a moment that instantly went viral.

Adding fuel to the fire, interviews with the cast of Squid Game left fans with cryptic responses when asked about V’s possible appearance. With Netflix teasing the third season as the final chapter, expectations hit an all-time high.

💻 Search Trends Spiked Before the Premiere

Hours before the Squid Game 3 release, global searches for “V Squid Game cameo” surged. Fans scrutinized trailers and behind-the-scenes clips, convinced they had spotted hidden clues. Social media platforms were flooded with fan theories and supposed sightings of the BTS member in teaser footage.

❌ No V in Squid Game 3 — Just Fan Hype

Despite all the buzz, V did not appear in Squid Game 3—neither in a cameo nor in the background. Fans took to social media to share their disappointment, with many joking they had been “clowned” by their own excitement.

Still, the reaction was more playful than bitter. While some fans admitted to getting carried away, many are still hopeful that V’s acting return is just around the corner.

🎬 Will V Return to Acting?

Though he didn’t appear in Squid Game, fans haven’t given up hope. V last showcased his acting skills in the 2016 K-drama Hwarang. With his growing global popularity and past on-screen talent, many believe it’s only a matter of time before he lands a major drama or film role.

Until then, the pink suit remains a stylish throwback—not a spoiler.
