The speculation has sent fans into a frenzy, especially after hints from co-stars and V’s Squid Game-inspired outfit at BTS’ Permission to Dance on Stage concert.
The Hints and Speculation
Fans first noticed a connection when V donned a Squid Game guard costume during a concert, sparking theories about his involvement.
Adding fuel to the fire, V is close friends with ZE:A’s Siwan, who appeared in Season 2, and has been photographed with Lee Jung Jae, the show’s lead actor.
In a recent interview, Squid Game stars Lee Jung Jae and Wi Ha Joon were asked about V’s potential casting.
Their cryptic responses—“I can’t say anything about that” and “No comment”—only heightened fan excitement.
