Fans of BTS were thrilled to catch a glimpse of Jungkook and V (also known as Taehyung) in a rare set of recent photos, showcasing their physical transformation during their mandatory military service.
The photos were shared by professional bodybuilder Choi Han-jin, who encountered the two idols during a workout session. He posted the images to social media with a caption that resonated with fans: “I couldn’t believe the two young men my wife watched every day were standing right in front of me.”
In the pictures, V and Jungkook strike classic bodybuilding poses—V drawing attention with his defined arms, while Jungkook highlights his sculpted chest muscles. The pair look confident and strong, showing the results of their dedication even while serving in the military.
Choi Han-jin praised both stars not just for their physical condition, but also for their attitude and focus. “Their calm yet intense energy, their commitment to training, and their sincerity in every movement were remarkable,” he wrote. “Even without words, their bodies show how diligently they’ve maintained themselves during service.”
Currently enlisted, V and Jungkook are nearing the end of their military duties. V is scheduled to be discharged on June 10, with Jungkook following on June 11. As fans count down the days to their return, these photos offer a powerful reminder of their resilience, growth, and discipline—even away from the spotlight.
