BTS’s V Opens Up About Military Weight Gain and Loss in Live Broadcast
BTS’s V shocked fans with a candid update on his weight during a recent live broadcast after his military discharge. During enlistment, V revealed he reached 80 KG at one point — a big jump from his pre-enlistment weight of 61 KG.
Before enlisting in December 2023, V shared that one of his goals was to hit 86 KG while serving. In the live, he confirmed he reached and maintained this target for a time but had lost a lot of that weight upon discharge on June 10, when he and RM were released from the army.
V explained how he managed the weight loss:
I really wanted to look good for armys, so I completely cut out carbs lately since they can cause bloating. I’ve been waking up at 5 am to work out on my own, just to get rid of the puffiness! It’s been a while since armys last saw me
Fans praised V’s honesty and his attitude about body image. Many highlighted that he seemed happy at 80 KG and pushed back against harsh idol industry beauty standards.
something about taehyung saying he lost weight but he really did love his body when it was at 80kg just sits right in my spirit like i’m so glad those stupid korean idol beauty standards never made him feel bad about how he looks
V’s physical transformation during military service sparked buzz online as fans continue to monitor his comeback closely.
