And if one day there is another chance, I’d love to record the show together.

Appreciating the show's audience, he continued:

The audience who thus far loved and supported Cantabile, I hope you spent a great time with Bogum hyung. We (BTS) will come out with a cool album next spring, please look forward to bts music. I’ll work hard! Thank you!

Park Bo-gum and Taehyung's long-standing friendship

Park Bo-gum and BTS’ Taehyung have long been appreciated by fans for their warm friendship. What makes their bond particularly notable is how they’ve maintained it despite coming from different corners of the entertainment industry, Bo-gum as an actor and Taehyung as a K-pop star.

In July 2025, fans were treated to several lighthearted moments between the two. On July 6, both Bo-gum and V attended CELINE's Spring/Summer fashion show in Paris, as brand ambassadors. The event also saw the presence of fellow ambassador Korean star Bae Suzy. Fans were thrilled to see all three share moments together, with numerous photos surfacing online after the event.

Even before the main event, their closeness was apparent. On July 4, the two stars arrived in Paris together. That evening, a "welcome-back" party was held for Taehyung to celebrate his return to ambassador duties following his military service.

Later, a candid moment caught fans' attention when videos showed Bo-gum being quietly looked after by V, who accompanied him back to their hotel, riding in the same car to ensure he returned safely. This considerate gesture was widely appreciated by fans and seen as another reflection of their close friendship.
