BTS’ V shows off bulky physique at Chicago The Musical amid military service break

The BTS member gave some serious Broadway vibes while taking a break from service

BTS’ V knows how to make the most of his military break! The idol was spotted attending Chicago The Musical alongside fellow singer and friend Park Hyo Shin. The BTS member hung out with the cast and posed for some fun snaps, enjoying the break from his mandatory military service. But the best part? That’s V’s tanned and bulky look, sporting a big, bright smile that had ARMYs crying happy tears.

The Broadway hit, set in the ’20s, is a dazzling tale of crime, fame, and jazz. And while V was all about musical vibes, his buff physique didn’t go unnoticed. Since enlisting in December 2023, V has been part of the Capital Defense Command, handling some intense military duties, including counter-terrorism operations.

Meanwhile, the BTS member confessed he would go on a physical change prior to enlisting, announcing a “bulk-up” competition with his bandmates. Fun fact: V’s military service is set to end in June 2025, but in the meantime, he’s squeezing in these unforgettable moments—and we’re loving it!
