BTS member V had a stunning buff body transformation during his military training, glimpses of which he himself shared with fans. His muscle gain has not only impressed fans, but also got fellow K-pop idols and actors talking. Recently, BIGBANG's Daesung gushed over V's new look in a delightful banter with one of the latter's fans. BTS ARMYs loved the instance, and shared the clips of the same online.
Daesung praises V's muscular physique
In the May 29th episode of Netflix variety show Try? Choo-ry!, BIGBANG 's Daesung gave off fanboy vibes as he talked enthusiastically about Kim Taehyung, aka V. He featured in episode 15 of the show, hosted by ex-TVXQ's Kim Jae Joong, and MMA fighter Choo Sung Hoon. The three of them happened to spot three female college students and invited them to join them. During their casual, free-spirited conversation, Kim Jae Joong suddenly asked one of the girls about her which K-pop idols she liked.
She was initially hesitant to reveal her favourite artist due to being surrounded by big stars themselves. However, as Daesung and Kim Jae Joong assured her of not minding her choosing other idols, she revealed that it was BTS, particularly mentioning V. On hearing that, Daesung immediately made a muscular gesture, talking of V's impressive military transformation. He gushed over how buffed the BTS member had become and how manly it made him look.
The BIGBANG star playfully said, "he (V) is massive" and told Choo Sung Hoon that he should work out with V sometime. Kim Jae Joong also agreed to Daesung's praise, making for a heartwarming moment. The exchange exemplified the warm bond between K-pop idols from various groups, demonstrating heartfelt appreciation and support without a hint of rivalry.
A lot of fans enjoyed watching the clips of the incident, saying, "Taehyung is so loved" and calling him "most relevant" idol. The moment of genuine camaraderie between top stars is definitely praiseworthy.

The BTS vocalist will complete his mandatory services on May 10, along leader RM. Fans are eagerly waiting for what's next for them in terms of musical offerings, following their discharge.

Celebrating 12 years of BTS: Every Festa song by Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V & Jung Kook from 2014 to 2024
The year 2025 marks a major milestone for BTS and their devoted fandom, ARMY. When the members began enlisting for their mandatory military service in 2022, some wondered if the group's global influence might decline. Instead, BTS only soared higher. Each member embarked on solo journeys under "Chapter 2," showcasing their unique artistry and strengthening their bond with fans. Now, with all seven—Jin, SUGA, J-Hope, RM, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook—set to reunite in June, anticipation is at an all-time high—especially as June 13 marks BTS' 12th debut anniversary. What is BTS FESTA? FESTA is BTS' annual two-week celebration leading up to their debut date. Hosted by BigHit Music, it delivers a packed content schedule for ARMY, including family portraits, unreleased photos, practice videos, member profiles, and surprise songs. The event often concludes with a special performance or concert featuring rare or never-before-seen stages—making FESTA both a tribute and a gift to their fans. Theme for 2025: "Twelve O'Clock" This year's FESTA is themed "Twelve O'Clock," inspired by the group's emotional track 00:00 (Zero O'Clock)—a song about quiet beginnings and hope in uncertain times.

His emotional vocals and the soft, nostalgic production—complete with tape-like distortion—gave the ballad a dreamy, intimate feel. Officially released in 2022, it remains a beloved highlight of his solo journey. Still With You This song, sung by Jungkook, was released during FESTA 2020 and officially added to BTS' discography in 2023. With its dreamy intro, jazz influences, and warm vocals, the song felt like a comforting message to ARMY during the pandemic—and remains a fan favorite. Bicycle This track sung by RM, was released during FESTA and later added to his solo discography in 2022.
