It has been nearly four months since the final members of BTS to enlist — V, RM, Jungkook, and Jimin — began their mandatory military service.
Since then, fans have kept up with the stars through official content or the far and in-between images the military shares. In the case of V, the latest images of the idol were shared by RM, who posted the pair in their fatigues and other soldiers.
That is, until recently!
On March 15, the music video for “FRI(END)S” was released, and along with the new official content came an update from the idol himself!
BTS’s V Posts His First Visual Update Since Enlisting In The Military
In addition to the clip posted by V, fans have been treated to more images of the idol from some of his military friends that have shown his incredible physical transformation!
Throughout his time as an idol, V has usually been on the slimmer side, sporting a lean look rather than choosing to bulk up.
In the first of two stories posted, one of V’s military buddies shared photos of the idol with five other soldiers, holding a cake to celebrate the release of the new song. V is wearing a simple black t-shirt, but it is easy to see the idol has bulked up since his service began!
The second story gave an even better look at his transformation. In a set of photobooth photos, the military men take turns flexing and showing off their biceps, including V!
As you can imagine, fans were not only overjoyed to see more photos of the idol but are also in awe of his transformation!
