What caused BTS' Jimin to gain over 10 kg in military service, despite being on a diet?
One of the key revelations came from Jimin, who opened up about his noticeable weight gain while serving in the 5th Infantry Division. He revealed that he had put on approximately 10 kilograms during his service, which he attributed to the carbohydrate-heavy meals provided in the Army.
Although Jimin had been following a diet plan for quite some time before enlistment, he said the military atmosphere—surrounded by strong, well-built soldiers—motivated him to bulk up as well. In an effort to reduce facial puffiness before being discharged, he even began running early in the morning around 5 a.m. However, he realized later that the actual issue wasn't bloating—it was the daily meals that led to the weight gain.

He humorously explained that the meal trays themselves were to blame, as they were always packed with rice, carbohydrate-rich soup, and equally heavy side dishes. Jungkook, nodding in agreement, added that while the food might have been high in calories, it was undeniably delicious.
"The trays are the problem. The rice is packed, the soup has carbs, and even the side dishes are loaded with them," he quipped.
Fans tuning into the livestream responded with warmth and laughter. Many filled the chat with humorous and supportive comments, poking fun at the infamous food trays and reassuring Jimin that he looked great regardless of the extra weight. Others expressed their joy over seeing the band slowly coming back together and speculated about upcoming group activities and possible music releases.
Jimin and Jungkook officially completed their military duties on June 11, just one day after fellow members RM and V wrapped up theirs. This leaves only one member, SUGA, still in service. He is currently working as a public service agent and is expected to finish his duty by June 21, according to Korean Standard Time.
Adding to the excitement of the band's slow reassembly, the recent '2025 BTS FESTA' celebration took place at KINTEX in Goyang. The offline event drew over 60,000 fans from across the globe. Among its most touching segments was the 'Voice Zone,' a special area where visitors could listen to pre-recorded messages from each member. These heartfelt clips included warm greetings and promises of new ventures ahead, leaving fans both nostalgic and hopeful for the future.

This comes in the aftermath of his breakup with Katy Perry; Orlando Bloom sold his Beverly Hills house for $7 million. Situated on the coveted 'Billionaire's Row' street, the property boasts views of the city and the ocean and was renovated for more than $5 million, as per a report by Benzinga. Live Events Why did Orlando Bloom leave his mansion in Beverly Hills? The sale seems like a simple real estate choice, but the timing suggests that there is more to it. Bloom and Perry's breakup was quiet but final, and both of them reportedly put their daughter's stability first. A source close to the couple said they have no plans to completely change their lives and that they are still committed to co-parenting in Montecito, as per a report. Bloom is evidently embarking on a fresh phase, encompassing both property and personal development. What led Orlando Bloom to seek therapy? In an interview with Oprah Winfrey's podcast, "The Oprah Podcast," Bloom acknowledged that he had battled toxic behaviors and had resorted to the Hoffman Method for guidance. He said, "I went to the Hoffman process about 10 years ago because I'd been triggered in a dynamic with my partner that had led me into a pattern of behavior that was very similar to the way in which I had grown up with my mother." The actor claimed that he was "confused" about how to give and receive affection because of his early years. Bloom says that the emotional spiral finally led him to the Hoffman Method, a week-long retreat for personal growth that helped him "feel born again."

It's sort of like, don't get in the way of anyone else's journey. "Don't let anyone get in the way of your journey, and just be grateful for the opportunities that are presented to you, and see the challenges of the dynamic that are in front of you as an opportunity for you to grow." What does Bloom do to focus on being a father and growing emotionally?

He said that growth, stability, and gratitude are now the most important parts of his parenting philosophy. The actor didn't say which partner "triggered" him, but the timeline suggests it might have happened during his earlier relationship with Kerr.
