BTS may be on official hiatus until their 2026 comeback, but the members are far from idle. Fans can’t stop talking about a new transformation that’s turned even his fellow members into fanboys. The spotlight is currently on Kim Taehyung’s jaw-dropping physical evolution during his military service.
In a string of recent livestreams, RM and Jungkook couldn’t stop raving about how V had completely surpassed them in strength. “Shocking news! Kim Taehyung is stronger than me,” RM announced, with Jungkook chiming in, “He’s stronger than me too.” The duo, along with V, now cheekily call themselves the “workout crew,” but the difference in fitness levels is becoming hard to ignore.
While RM and Jungkook have stuck mostly to bodyweight routines, Taehyung’s time in South Korea’s elite Special Duty Team (SDT) has transformed him into what fans are calling a “real-life action hero.” His daily military regimen included advanced weapons training, intense physical drills, and weightlifting. The results? A visibly bulked-up physique, a Special Warrior badge, the Sergeant rank, and even a spot in the SDT Hall of Fame.
“He’s bigger than us now. We can’t even finish the sets he does,” RM admitted, while Jungkook looked half-impressed, half-exhausted. Taehyung, humble as ever, responded with a laugh, “You guys just started again. I’ve been consistent.”
Social media lit up with reactions. ARMYs posted everything from crying emojis to fire gifs. “The way they can’t stop talking about Taehyung’s body ,” one fan tweeted. Another joked, “The bulk line is getting competitive, oh no .”
As J-Hope and Jin continue their solo shows in Berlin and Tokyo, and Suga maintains a low profile, fans are now focused on the four members — RM, Jungkook, Jimin, and V — who’ve been casually dropping updates on live.
