V of BTS recently connected with fans on Weverse during the Lunar New Year holiday, asking, "Are you enjoying the holiday?" He encouraged fans to make the most of the rare long break, adding, "I'm still practicing hard at the unit. There's not much time left now, and I look forward to seeing you again soon."
South Korea is one of many Asian countries celebrating Lunar New Year, with this year’s holiday spanning six days from January 25 to 30, 2025.
Enlisting in December 2023, V expressed his goal to improve his health and endurance, aiming to perform over 10 concerts without fatigue. At the time, he weighed 62kg and set a goal of reaching 86kg. Now, he has gained 75kg and continues to work toward his target, staying committed to his fitness routine even during the holidays.
In a playful nod to his progress, V previously joked about becoming a "Second Generation Muscle Man" by 2025—a promise he seems to be fulfilling. On January 20, he shared his favorite playlist on Instagram with the caption "End of winter training," showcasing his dedication despite the challenges of military life.
V is set to be discharged on June 10, 2025, and fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating the day BTS reunites as a full group. His discipline and resilience have earned him widespread admiration during his service.
