In a move that sent shockwaves through social media, BTS’s V (Kim Taehyung) delighted fans worldwide by sharing a series of candid gym snaps from his military service—featuring none other than actor Song Kang. The surprise came just hours before V’s official military discharge, fueling anticipation for BTS’s first full-group (OT7) reunion in nearly two years.

A Viral Moment: V and Song Kang’s Military Bond

On June 9, 2025, V took to Instagram Stories to share rare glimpses into his life as a soldier. The photos and short videos showed V and Song Kang—both clad in military uniforms—working out together in the gym. The duo, sporting black tank tops and camouflage pants, showcased their impressive physiques, a testament to the rigorous training and discipline of their service.

Fans were quick to notice the playful camaraderie between the two stars. In addition to gym selfies, V and Song Kang posed together in a photobooth, flashing bright smiles, playful salutes, and heart gestures. The posts offered a refreshing, humanizing look at two of Korea’s biggest celebrities, now bonded by their shared military experience.

Fans React: “Visual Explosion” and “New Besties”

The surprise updates instantly went viral. ARMYs (BTS fans) and K-drama enthusiasts flooded social media with enthusiastic reactions, praising the stars’ transformations and friendship. Comments ranged from awe at their “gorgeous buff bods” to memes about the “visual explosion” of seeing V and Song Kang together.

Many fans also expressed excitement over the unexpected celebrity friendship, with hashtags like #TaehyungSongKang and #MilitaryBesties trending across platforms. Fan art, edits, and messages of support poured in, highlighting the global impact of their posts.

V’s Transformation: Dedication and Discipline

V’s physical transformation during his military service has been widely discussed. Reports suggest he lost over 10 kg and gained significant muscle, a change noticed not only by fans but also by fellow idols like BigBang’s Daesung. The gym snaps served as visual proof of his hard work and dedication, further endearing him to fans and peers alike.

The Road to BTS’s OT7 Reunion

The timing of V’s posts couldn’t have been more perfect. He and BTS leader RM are set to be discharged on June 10, 2025, with other members like Jimin and Jungkook following soon after. This marks the beginning of BTS’s long-awaited OT7 reunion, with fans eagerly anticipating their first appearance as a complete group since 2023.

Speculation is rife about upcoming group activities, new music, and public appearances. The excitement is palpable, with the gym snaps serving as a symbolic “countdown” to a new era for BTS.

A New Chapter for V and Song Kang

Beyond the excitement for BTS, the gym snaps have also put a spotlight on Song Kang, who is expected to resume his acting career post-discharge. Fans are hopeful that the newfound friendship between V and Song Kang will lead to future collaborations or public appearances.

BTS’s V has once again proven his star power by turning a simple set of gym photos into a global event. His surprise military snaps with Song Kang not only showcased their impressive transformations but also set the stage for BTS’s historic OT7 reunion. As fans around the world celebrate, one thing is clear: the return of BTS and the emergence of new celebrity friendships are ushering in an exciting new chapter for K-pop and Korean entertainment.
