V and Mingyu are in the middle of a fanwar over their physiques.
Since enlisting, BTS’s V has bulked up noticeably. A live broadcast showing his muscular arms in a sleeveless top went viral on X (formerly Twitter).
Hours later, SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu posted gym photos flaunting his toned and defined muscles. The timing sparked intense comparisons online.
BTS fans accused Mingyu of “trying to be” like V because his gym photos dropped right after V’s viral live.
“He’s trying hard to be taehyung”

SEVENTEEN fans fired back, pointing out Mingyu’s long-standing athletic build. They claimed V is now copying Mingyu’s image for attention.
"I’m sorry but taehyung got buff recently after his enlistment… Mingyu has always been buff lol..anyways mind your business and stop being narcissist. Everyone doesn’t wanna be like your fav."

Fans on both sides are leaving scathing comments. The dispute shows no signs of slowing down, with the idols’ physiques dominating online conversations.
