BTS member V (Kim Taehyung) reached out to fans with a warm Lunar New Year message, sharing updates about his life and health during his military service.

On January 25, V posted on Weverse, asking fans, "Are you all enjoying the holiday?" He added, "It’s a rare long holiday, so I hope you spend it happily! I’ve just been working out non-stop here at the base. There’s not much time left now, and I can’t wait to see you soon."

V, who enlisted on December 11, 2023, as part of the Special Forces (SDT), has been focusing on building his strength. When a fan asked if he had reached his target weight, V proudly replied, "I hit it and now I’m cutting back."

Before enlisting, V shared his ambitious goal of bulking up during his service. “I want to come out truly healthy and strong, with enough stamina to perform ten or more concerts without getting tired. I’ll build up my strength so that I won’t back down even in a shoulder bump with someone,” he had confidently said. At the time, V weighed 62kg and planned to bulk up to 86kg.

Recently, V revealed that he’s already at 75kg and continues to work hard to achieve his goal. Sharing a photo of his well-defined back muscles, V mentioned, “The soldiers in my unit are in such great shape that I need to try harder. I’ll keep working on it.” Fans have been impressed by his noticeably stronger and more masculine physique in the photos he’s shared.

Even during a short vacation, V didn’t let up on his workout routine, showing his dedication. Previously, he joked about becoming the "second-generation Muscleman" in 2025, and it seems he’s staying true to that promise.

On January 20, V also shared a playlist of his favorite music on Instagram with the caption, "End of winter training," referring to the intense outdoor drills completed in freezing conditions. Despite the challenges of military life, V’s dedication and discipline have captured fans' hearts.

With his discharge set for June 10, 2025, fans are eagerly counting down the days until V and the rest of BTS reunite as a group. The anticipation for their future activities is already through the roof!

BTS member Jin has touched hearts once again with his kind gesture to support those affected by wildfires.

On April 3, Jin visited Gilan Middle School in Gilan-myeon, Andong, to serve meals to disaster victims and firefighters. His actions brought much-needed comfort to the people in the area.

Gilan Middle School is where celebrity chef Baek Jong Won, a close friend of Jin, has been running a free meal service through his company, The Born Korea.

Since March 28, The Born Korea has been providing meals for the wildfire victims, preparing 300 to 700 servings each time to ensure that the affected people and firefighters receive warm food.

Jin quietly made his way to Andong, a region that suffered extensive damage from the wildfire, to lend a helping hand.

Big Hit Music, Jin’s agency, shared, “Jin wanted to provide even a small amount of help to those affected by the wildfires, which is why he decided to participate in this volunteer activity.”

This heartwarming gesture follows BTS's large donations for wildfire recovery efforts. Jungkook donated a whopping 1 billion KRW, while V gave 200 million KRW, and RM, J-Hope, and Suga each contributed 100 million KRW to aid in the recovery.
