BTS' V updates fans he's 'working out hard'

All seven members of the K-pop boy band BTS are currently serving in the military, and member V posted an update for fans on his Instagram Story today (April 12).

"Are you all doing well? I'm doing well, exercising healthily, wearing my cool black uniform, and doing some awesome training!" wrote the 28-year-old, whose real name is Kim Tae-hyung.

"I went on a vacation and so I celebrated Na PD's birthday, and had a great time catching up with friends and talking about the army.

He added that he's "working out hard" and currently weighs 75kg: "But the men in my unit are in great shape, so I need to work harder. I'll try my best."

Na PD refers to producer-director Na Young-seok, who worked with V in the 2023 variety show Jinny's Kitchen.

V, who enlisted in December 2023, is currently serving in the military police special forces and will be discharged in June 2025 along with leader RM.
