Kim Taehyung, aka V of BTS, took a well-deserved break while serving in the Special Forces of the army.
On March 31, Taehyung made a surprise appearance at the home stadium of Gangwon FC to watch the intense match between Gangwon FC and FC Seoul in Round 4 of the 2024 K League 1.
A bulked-up Taehyung looked exceptionally handsome with short hair and dressed in his military uniform. His natural good looks shone through, proving he doesn’t need idol styling to be gorgeous.
