BTS's V continues to impress with his dedication during his military service, even overcoming physical challenges.
On April 19, an Instagram post from A, a fellow soldier who served alongside V, shared heartwarming updates about V's time in the military. Despite suffering from shoulder and thigh injuries, V earned the prestigious Exemplary Military Police Award, highlighting his exceptional performance.
A revealed that V excelled in multiple areas, earning first place in shooting and winter urban training, and even finishing first in a grueling 3 km physical fitness test. "It was so romantic," A said, recalling how V completed the run well ahead of the special standards.

V’s dedication didn’t stop there. According to A, the BTS member also contributed to his unit by donating exercise equipment and often treated his fellow soldiers to meals, including eel sushi, during breaks.
In the photos shared, V can be seen smiling with his fellow soldiers, fully integrating into his military life. V, who enlisted in December 2023, is currently serving in the Special Military Police Special Task Unit (SDT) and is expected to be discharged on June 10th.
V's thoughtful and caring nature has not gone unnoticed. His fellow soldiers have shared many stories of his kindness, calling him the "problem solver" and praising his helpful attitude. In addition to his recent award, V was also honored as a distinguished trainee at the Army Training Center graduation ceremony.
This latest achievement further cements V’s reputation as a dedicated and inspiring figure, both on and off the stage.
