As BTS fans eagerly await the group’s reunion once the remaining members complete their military service in June, V has been making headlines for his impressive physical transformation. Earlier this year, he surprised fans by sharing gym selfies on Weverse, revealing a muscular physique and noting he had lost 10 kilograms. He also shared that he plans to continue focusing on health and fitness.

V’s transformation hasn’t just caught the attention of fans—it’s turning heads among fellow idols too. On a recent episode of the Netflix show Try? Choo-ry, BigBang member Daesung praised V’s buff new look. “Taehyung—he’s bulked up recently. His body’s huge. He’s massive,” Daesung said, reacting to a fan who named V as her favourite idol without hesitation. The moment sparked excitement among the hosts, Choo Sung-hoon and Kim Jae-joong, who even suggested that Daesung and V hit the gym together sometime—a suggestion Daesung seemed open to.

The clip quickly went viral among the ARMY. As one fan put it, “Not them discussing Taehyung being hot and buff on national television!”

In a recently released photo, BTS’ V and actor Song Kang are seen in full workout mode, striking a pose in front of a gym mirror, and fans were not ready. Dressed in matching military-style camouflage pants and black tank tops, the duo looks absolutely ripped. One sits casually, flexing confidently in the mirror, while the other stands tall, showing off bulging arms and dog tags.
