Los Angeles, CA – While Jin and J-Hope are busy captivating audiences with their solo concerts abroad, the remaining members of BTS have been reconnecting with fans through lively Weverse and Instagram interactions. Amidst the banter and updates, a surprising revelation emerged: V, fresh from his military service, has undergone a dramatic physical transformation.

RM and Jungkook confessed during a recent livestream that V’s time in the Special Duty Team (SDT), a counter-terrorism unit, has turned him into a force to be reckoned with. “Shocking news! Kim Taehyung is stronger than me,” RM admitted, with Jungkook echoing the sentiment, “He’s stronger than me too.” Both expressed struggling to keep up with V’s intense weight training regimen.

V, who served as a Sergeant in the military, downplayed the praise, attributing his strength to a consistent routine. However, RM clarified, “Taehyung was lifting weights in the Special Forces. He’s way ahead… He’s bigger than us. We can’t even finish the sets he does now.”

Beyond physical prowess, V earned the prestigious “Special Warrior” badge, an honor recognizing exceptional performance, strength, and discipline, solidifying his reputation as an elite soldier. He will be listed in the unit’s Hall of Fame for a year.

The newfound strength and discipline haven’t come at the expense of BTS’s camaraderie. The members, including V, Jungkook, Jimin, and RM, have been engaging in a flurry of social media activity, showcasing their trademark humor and close bond.

Currently, all seven members, including Jin and J-Hope, are in the United States working on new music. RM has hinted at a new album release next spring, followed by a potential world tour. While details remain scarce, ARMYs are eagerly anticipating BTS’s highly-anticipated comeback.
