Posted on February 19, the snap began circulating on X before reaching various fan communities. In the pic, V can be seen rocking his Army uniform, giving his iconic V hand gesture, and looking stronger than ever. With his buff appearance, BTS fans around the globe are naturally melting.

Word on the street (and the Internet) says this photo was taken at a Lotteria in Chuncheon back in December 2024, making BTS fans (known as ARMY) wonder who managed to capture this muscular moment. Many praised V’s stronger look, especially since he previously weighed around 62 kg and recently revealed on Weverse that he’s at 72.5 kg now—and aiming for 86 kg by the end of his service.

Enlisting in December 2023, V joined the Special Duty Team (SDT) under the Army’s 2nd Corps, a prestigious unit focusing on high-risk missions. The idol is clearly thriving in the military, but fans can’t wait for his official discharge on June 10, 2025. Until then, ARMY will keep cheering him on through every update (and loving his physique in the process).
