V of BTS will appear in a music video for IU’s upcoming single, according to a local media report Tuesday.

Management firms for both artists confirmed the news following the report. They have already finished shooting the visuals, said Edam Entertainment, adding that IU’s new album will be released in the first half of 2024.

The shooting schedule was moved up as V is set to enlist in the military next week along with bandmates RM, Jimin and Jungkook. His label, Big Hit Music, announced Tuesday that V and the group's leader will respectively begin serving on Dec. 11, and Jimin and Jungkook will enlist together on the following day. The four members will be discharged in June 2025.

V posted a picture of his shorn hair on the floor late last month, hinting at the enlistment.
