Fans couldn’t believe it!
Behind the scenes‘S AND He may be in the midst of his enlistment right now, but that doesn’t stop him from feeding ARMYs. This time, fans were left stunned by V’s military transformation in a selfie shared in the most unlikely of places: a fan group chat.
V is currently serving in the Military Police Corps’ Special Task Force and fans have been eager to see him since he first enlisted in December 2023. Just last month in August, everyone got to see a snapshot of V in a group photo and subsequent news footage with the rest of his force, but it was nothing compared to the stunning photo he posted on September 8.

In chaotic V style, the BTS star sent a group of his fans into a frenzy when he joined their chat room server on the Korean messaging app KakaoTalkgreeting them casually with “How is everyone?~”
Fuck you guys!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Vuja is said to have gone into the cell holding the girls in his arms and taking selfies of them.
A real man asked me this in such an amazing way that it’s driving me crazy. photo.twitter.com/RiqL6F8w82— Park Mungnom (@tetemnmn) September 8, 2024
You guys are doing well, right? The password for the other room was too difficult, so I entered here.
Oh, lol
Don’t you want to play with me?— V of BTS
After complaining about the difficulty of getting verified in ARMY group chats, he proved his identity with an unexpected mirror selfie, dressed in his hot military uniform.
The photo appears to have been taken in an elevator on the seventh floor…
😭 I think Taehyung waited with his camera open until the seventh floor and just when he got there he took the selfie.
He is SO precious.— Tan⁷🍷 (@jjksyoongs) September 8, 2024
…but V’s nod to OT7 wasn’t the only thing fans noticed. Instead, most were amazed at how muscular he’s gotten in recent months, showing off his developed biceps in a short-sleeved military shirt.
What do I do with the information that you’re so fucking strong and there’s still 9 months to go and I don’t know if I’ll survive Kim Taehyung’s next drop? photo.twitter.com/xJduSdg3fm
