When an ARMY asked V, "Have you reached your target weight?" he replied, "I hit it, and now I'm on my way back." For those unversed, Taehyung had promised his fans that we would "increase his weight to 86 kg". Needless to say, his physique has been a hot topic of discussion ever since he joined the military. The singer teases the ARMY from time to time by flexing his ripped body, setting the internet ablaze.
V will reportedly release his new photobook as he commences 2025 on a working note. The K-pop idol overcame grief following his dog Yeontan's demise last year. BTS' music agency BigHit dropped the poster for RĂÂȘve - a possible photobook that documents V's time in Paris. It is set to release on February 3rd. The French text written on the same roughly translates to, "This feeling of freedom I experienced in Paris, the instant beauty, the dream scene seen through V's eyes."
On the work front, Kim Taehyung is rumoured to join the third season of Netflix's Squid Game. During an interview with BuzzFeed UK, Lee Jung Jae and his co-star Wi Ha Joon were asked directly about the possibility of V joining the cast for the upcoming season. Lee quickly dismissed the topic with a cryptic, "I can't say anything about that," while Joon flashed a knowing smile and firmly stuck to a "No comment" response.
