BTS Member V's latest military update sparks enthusiastic fan reactions.

Fans are reacting with excitement to the latest update on BTS member V, who is currently serving in the military. Following a photo from May showing V in standard army combat uniform, a new photo has emerged of him in the Special Forces black uniform with a mask. Despite only his eyes being visible, V's striking appearance was undeniable.

Fans left comments in response to the photos:

"Taehyung, you look so cool and admirable."
"You must have had a hard time in this heat."
"He looks amazing, but he seems so exhausted ㅠㅠ."
"He looks incredible! Look at those eyes. He's doing tough training in that thick black uniform in this heat."
"Taehyung! I teared up as soon as I saw youㅠㅠ. Stay strong, our bear ㅜㅠ."
"I know all the soldiers next to him are struggling too, but it breaks my heart to see V like this. He looks cool, but it must be suffocating. All the soldiers are working hard, thank you."
"It's so hot, and they're all bundled up, enduring it. I hope all the soldiers performing their duties in this hot summer hold up well. They look awesome!"
"Wow, he looks so different from before. Such a manly vibe."

    V enlisted in December of last year and volunteered for the Special Forces Unit (SDT) under the Capital Defense Command. He is currently serving in the Special Forces unit within the Military Police Corps of the 2nd Army Corps.

    In particular, V has been focusing on maintaining his physique. Before enlisting, he weighed 62 kg, but within two months of enlistment, he reportedly gained 10 kg. In February, he briefly greeted fans on BTS's Weverse, saying, "Midway report: 72.5 kg achieved. I'll be back." He also revealed that his target weight is 86 kg. In April, he shared a photo of his back, revealing his toned muscles.

    V's expected discharge date is June 10th next year.
