At the military training camp, V of BTS has become known as the “Trainee Who Eats Well” while serving his mandatory military service.
Someone posted, “(V) consistently asks if he can have an extra meal.” on an online community while claiming to have a friend who works as a dietitian at the army training camp. The anonymous user went on to say, “Whenever someone asks, ‘Who else wants more?’ he’s the first to raise his hand.”
To the joy of fans everywhere, another internet user exclaimed, “He truly has a hearty appetite,” as they enthusiastically recounted their observations of V’s eating habits at the training center’s cafeteria. V announced his intention to get in better shape via a live video on the fan community site Weverse before he enlisted. He boldly stated, “I will build up the stamina to endure even ten consecutive concerts without fatigue,” and made a solemn promise to leave no stone unturned, not even when it came to lighthearted activities like shoulder bumps.
He set a very particular target for himself, saying, “I’ve slimmed down to 62kg (137 lbs), but I plan to bulk up and weigh exactly 86 kg (190 lbs).” After being worried about V’s unusual pre-military aspirations, people are now more at ease seeing him work to improve his fitness level.
