BTS member V is currently serving in the South Korean army. Unlike his bandmates who opted for regular training, Kim Taehyung chose to serve his country as part of the Special Task Force (SDT). Recently, a new photo surfaced that shows the singer taking a break after a tough training session. The army did not take long to express their appreciation for his dedication and hard work, even while wearing a super heavy uniform in the scorching heat.
New photo of BTS V from military surfaces
Despite the rigorous nature of his training, fans have often spotted the Winter Bear crooner in his special training uniform. While his face is mostly obscured, his distinctive features make him easily recognizable. The official military app, The Camp, which provided updates about the soldiers to their families, no longer posts updates about BTS due to an intellectual property rights issue with the band’s agency, BigHit. However, fans were happy to see a new update surface on The Q.

ARMYs react to BTS V’s latest military update
The country has been battling one of its worst heatwaves for the past few days, and fans were concerned after seeing red spots on the singer’s forehead. They also expressed concern that he might be facing difficulty in his all-black uniform, which usually absorbs more heat. Many have mentioned that the special forces gear worn by V and his fellow soldiers weighs around 20 kilograms, making their grueling training sessions under Korea’s scorching sun even more challenging.
One fan commented on the photo, “Taehyung, this summer has been a particularly tough season for you.” “It’s so hot, everyone must be suffering,” another commented. “He worked so hard amid the heat. I’m so proud of him,” a third commented.
