BTS's V recently showed off his bulked-up physique, even while enjoying some vacation time, thanks to his dedication to working out.

On the 25th, bodybuilder Ma Sun Ho shared a photo on Instagram with V (Kim Taehyung) and actor Kim Min Jae. Along with the photo, he wrote, "Proud young men Taehyung & Minjae, working out hard even during their vacation."

In the picture, V, Kim Min Jae, and Ma Sun Ho are seen together after a workout session. V’s toned and muscular figure grabbed a lot of attention from fans around the world.

Ma Sun Ho also shared, "We did full-body weight training for two days. I’m envious of their youth… and their good looks… Let’s plan for another vacation soon, and we definitely need to have soy sauce marinated crab again."

Even while serving in the military, V continues to stay focused on fitness. His strong self-discipline and dedication are clear, even during his time off.

Before enlisting, V had mentioned during a live broadcast on December 6 last year, "In the military, I’ll focus on building a strong, healthy body, so I can perform at ten or more concerts without getting tired. I’ll also work on building broader shoulders. I’m 62kg now, but I plan to bulk up to 86kg before I return." It looks like he's sticking to his word!

Fans are also happy to see V spending time with actor Kim Min Jae. The two have been close since their appearance on MBC's Flower Boy Bromance in 2016, which showed the strong friendships between male celebrities. Kim Min Jae once shared on a radio show that V has a "unique mood and atmosphere" and praised him for being "really cool."

The latest update on their friendship and V’s fit physique is making fans excited, showing V’s warm personality and dedication to both his friends and his health.

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
