With Jin and J-Hope having resumed their activities after completing their mandatory military service, other BTS members are also preparing for a strong comeback post-discharge. Even while serving in the military, BTS members continue to make headlines, and this time, Kim Taehyung, aka V, has set the internet on fire with his latest update. The K-pop superstar, who has been largely inactive on social media since enlisting in December 2023, recently surprised fans with a dramatic transformation in his physique, leaving ARMYs eager for more.
Taking to Weverse on Sunday (March 23), BTS' V shared an update on his well-being and fitness journey. The Winter Bear singer revealed that he had lost 10 kg, writing, "So recently..! I lost a lot of weight, right...? I lost 10kg. Heehahaheehee. I'll keep putting in the work." His post featured two photos—one showing him sitting on a chest press machine while taking a selfie and another gripping an EZ bar, seemingly preparing for an intense round of bicep curls. Dressed in a white vest, with his face covered by a mask and a yellow cap, V exuded a strong yet effortless charm.
Regarded as one of the most stunning visuals in K-pop history, V left ARMYs in awe with his transformation. While many fans cheered him on, some expressed concern, believing he already looked fit and healthy. One overwhelmed fan commented, "Those veins!? Those hands!? Those arms!? Someone sue him this is illegal!" Another speculated, "I don’t think he’s losing weight just for the sake of it. He’s cutting weight to build muscle."
