Jungkook's muscular and toned body was already known before he joined the army while V was discovered to be very dedicated to fitness after joining the SDT team during his military service.
Notably, on May 3, Fitness Trainer Choi Hanjin uploaded photos taken with both of BTS's youngest members to praise their dedication and muscular physique, causing netizens to explode.
In the photos, Jungkook and V showed off their "giant" arms, full muscular bo∂ιєs, and of course, shining visuals. Fans seemed to go crazy over the superstars' new updates.
In addition, fans were also surprised that V and Jungkook were spotted together in the gym during this time. It is known that Jungkook served with Jimin under the "Companion Sol∂ιєr" system in Yeoncheon while V was stationed in Chuncheon.
So, there was no faster way to get the question answered than to directly ask one of the BTS members, j-hope. On May 13, 2025, when he was doing a live broadcast on Weverse, fans mentioned to him: "Oppa, did you check out JK’s and V’s bo∂ιєs?".
In response to the fan's question, j-hope gave a surprising response and also updated the information about the two young members. "Well, we’ve already hung out in private. They’ve really leveled up, right?", he said meaningfully.
This comment quickly went viral on X, causing fans to react very excitedly. One fan also noticed that j-hope was referring to being able to witness the members' physical transformations in person during that reunion: “He said not to inform him about his members who he has exclusive access to”.
Many fans expressed their jealousy of j-hope's or “BTS members'” privileges because they always get to listen to songs before they're released, see secret photos of each other, or witness the "masterpieces" like the ones above. ARMYs commented:
- Bangtan privilege is real
- Omg he is bragging about meeting them in person already
- Bts privileges we know
- Of course he is the most #taekook supportive hyung. He witness a lot of their private time together. Jk and taehyung trust Hobi the most
- They’ve lived together for 10 years. they’ve all already seen each other’s *sscheeks a million times
- Aww hobaa. I envy u
- i'm not crying, you are. This is bts privillege
- Oh, to be hobi and endless photos
- "I've seen them closer than you" - jhope said
Meanwhile, ARMYs are looking forward to BTS's 12th debut anniversary FESTA this June when the BTS members will also return from the military, ending their 3-year hiatus due to military service.
With all the members expected to return soon, talks of a reunion could be on the horizon. During a chat on The Zane Lowe Show on Apple Music 1, j-hope confirmed that the group plans to meet up as soon as everyone returns.
