On May 3, a professional trainer shared photos from their workout session on social media, expressing his amazement at meeting the two superstars in person. To add to the surprise, actor Song Kang—known for his role in Nevertheless—was also spotted with them. This appearance came shortly after V uploaded a snippet of his own fitness routine to Instagram, hinting at his ongoing dedication to staying in shape.
The trainer, Choi Hanjin, who is also a competitive bodybuilder, posted on Instagram, 'I can't believe the young men my wife constantly watches on screen are standing in front of me.' He was full of praise for both stars, noting their composed yet powerful energy and deep commitment throughout their session.
One of the photos shows V and Jungkook dressed in matching black outfits, flexing their toned arms, while another features V and Song Kang posing with Choi. Choi added, 'Their physiques are proof of their hard work.' While Jungkook has long been known for his love of fitness, Taehyung's transformation from a delicate, prince-like persona to a tougher, more masculine image has caught everyone's attention.
For those unfamiliar, V and Jungkook are currently assigned to different units. Jungkook and Jimin enlisted together under the 'Companion Soldier' system, which allows close friends to serve side-by-side. Meanwhile, V opted for a more specialized path, joining the elite Special Duty Team under the Army Capital Defense Command, where he now serves in anti-terrorism operations. The remaining BTS members are expected to be discharged by June 2025.
Speculation on BTS Reunion and Comeback
Before enlisting, all seven members—RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—pursued individual projects to ensure fans continued to receive fresh content.
With all members scheduled to complete service by mid-2025, anticipation is high for a full-group return. HYBE's CEO, Lee Jae Sang, confirmed plans for a comeback, emphasizing that preparations must be deliberate given BTS' global influence. Meanwhile, J-Hope, who recently completed his military duties, teased in an interview that the group's reunion is 'closer than fans expect,' hinting at swift planning and strong camaraderie.

Ed Sheeran has shared a heartfelt story of his recent musical collaboration with Arijit Singh, calling him 'one of the most talented humans' he's ever met. In a detailed Instagram post, the British singer spoke of how he first discovered Arijit's music through 'Tum Hi Ho' from the film 'Aashiqui 2', and was immediately spellbound. Sheeran said he reached out to Arijit years ago and expressed his desire to collaborate. He wrote, 'i first became aware of @arijitsingh music when i watched Aashiqui 2 and heard Tum Hi Ho. I was proper spellbound by his voice, the song, the scene in the movie." He continued, "I checked him out, and got in touch, and said whenever you wanna sing together i'm down. he was playing london, so i went to guest with him and sing Perfect there, it was an incredible show. I played him an early version of Sapphire in the dressing room, and he instantly had ideas for instruments and melodies.' Sheeran revealed that he and Arijit exchanged ideas over email before meeting in person in India while Sheeran was on tour with his father. 'We then were pen pals over email for a bit, until I was in India for tour. I said to him, we should finish this in person, and he said, please come to my home town so I can show you my home and culture," he wrote. Ed continued, "I was with my dad on tour, which is a rarity to get so much one on one time with him. Me and him got a flight to Kolkata, then a 5 and a half hour drive to his home town. We arrived, went on a barge down the river which was stunning, then got a scooty back to the studio where we finished the song,' wrote the 'Galway Girl' hitmaker. The experience was personal for Sheeran, who called it a 'core memory' he'll always cherish with his father.

'He's one of the most talented humans ive ever met, and i'm so grateful he shared his talent with me for this song.

Last Updated: The film, directed by David Michôd and co-written by Michôd and Mirrah Foulkes, will chronicle the rise and turbulent life of Christy Martin. Sydney Sweeney is going through a complete physical transformation for her next big role. The Euphoria star, who will portray legendary boxer Christy Martin in an upcoming biopic, revealed in a new W Magazine cover story that she gained more than 14 kg (over 30 pounds) during training. 'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training," Sweeney said. 'I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour." Her body, she said, underwent a dramatic shift. 'I didn't fit in any of my clothes. I'm usually a size 23 in jeans, and I was wearing a size 27. My b*obs got bigger. And my bu*t got huge. It was crazy! I was like, Oh my god," Sweeney admitted, adding that despite the changes, she felt incredibly empowered: 'But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong."
