Some people felt the remark was unnecessary because it focused too much on V\u2019s body and appearance. Others said the comment made them uncomfortable, especially since V was not overweight. Then, many ARMYs also shared that they liked V\u2019s past stronger build during his military era and said they missed that version of him. At the same time, some viewers did not see the comment as harmful and viewed it as a casual conversation between close friends. Regardless, the debate continued online, with many fans debating whether public comments about a person\u2019s body should be made so casually.<\/p>\n<p>Watch the full segment in which the BTS members reveal what they missed about each other during break:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" hcb-fetch-image-from=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/uPYn245GmjA?si=Xlb1ZJ-ldnfsacEF\" title=\"BTS Reveals What They Really Missed About Each Other During Break, Talks ARIRANG World Tour\" width=\"1240\" height=\"698\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uPYn245GmjA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2>The interview becomes part of BTS\u2019 major comeback period<\/h2>\n<p>The Jimmy Fallon appearance marked BTS\u2019 first full-group visit to the show since 2021.
