BTS’ V Displays Impressive Toned Muscles After Losing 10 Kilograms During Military Service, Shares His Secret to Fitness Success and Admits Feeling Shy About Showing Off His Six-Pack Abs
BTS’ V, also known as Kim Taehyung, has once again captured the hearts of fans worldwide with a surprising update from his military service. On March 22, 2025, V posted a gym selfie on Weverse, showing off his toned muscles and revealing that he lost 10 kg. This update follows earlier news of him gaining over 10 kg (22 lbs) after enlisting. Fans are now buzzing with excitement over his BTS V fitness journey and the secret behind his impressive six-pack abs.
A Transformation in the Making: V’s Weight Loss Journey
Before starting his BTS V military service, V was known for his slim build, weighing about 62 kg (137 lbs) at 179 cm (5’10”). But in February 2025, he shared that he had bulked up to 72.5 kg (160 lbs), jokingly aiming for 86 kg as part of a “bulk-up competition” with BTS members RM, Jimin, and Jungkook. Now, with his latest BTS V weight loss of 10 kg, he’s back to a leaner frame.
“But recently…! I lost a lot of weight, right? I lost 10kg… Hahahaha, I’ll try harder,” V wrote on Weverse.
Fans speculate that V might be following a “bulk and cut” process—a fitness technique where you gain muscle by eating more, then lose fat to reveal a defined physique. Whatever the method, his hard work is clearly paying off!
Charming Fan Moments on Weverse
V didn’t just share his transformation; he also delighted fans with his playful BTS V Weverse update. One fan noticed his change, commenting, “Taehyung-ssi, Why did your body become so big? You seemed like a baby bear but you’ve just become a bear now. Oh my god, being handsome amongst all this too. Also what’s with the Pororo?”
V’s response? Pure gold. He explained, “That (Pororo sticker) came out of a yakgwa, they sell it at the convenience store.. my adorable junior who’s 10 years younger than me, bought me yakgwa so I go around with (the sticker) pasted (on my phone).” Fans couldn’t get over how cute this little detail was.
