BTS V Promoted to Sergeant, Shares Military Update

BTS’ V is giving fans a peek into his life in the military, and it’s clear he’s staying busy – and missing his ARMY. In a new update, V shared everything from his latest promotion to his favorite TV shows.

On March 3, the 29-year-old vocalist shared an update on the fan community platform Weverse. ARMYs were in for a treat as BTS leader RM also shared a heartfelt post on Weverse today.

V talked about his promotion in the military, weight gain goals, j-hope, and missing ARMY.

The “Love Me Again” singer shared an update from his military service, saying, “It snowed, so I shoveled. Had a snowball fight too—I’m pretty good at it.”

Three months before his military service ends, he has been promoted to a higher rank, “I’ve been promoted to Sergeant, 2nd class.

That means I’m now the second in command here. Soon, I’ll be #1.

Recently, I became a “Special Warrior.”

Worked out a lot for it.

Pushed too hard and cracked a rib once… but I’m fine now.”

V also shared an update on his weight gain goals as he looks quite buffed lately, “Currently on a diet—I’m at 70 kg.”

He added, “Been reading a lot.

Ina noona sent me tons of books.

Too many, actually—I can’t finish them all.

No insomnia here.

The moment I lie down, I’m out.

But waking up early? Still not used to it.”

V also talked about fans, “I miss ARMY a lot, so I keep watching concert videos.

I want to dance. I want to sing.

One of my juniors memorized the entire “Black Swan” choreography and asked me to check.

But… I forgot the choreo myself.”

He continued, “Lately, I’ve been watching “Buried Heart”. Park Hyung Sik is amazing.”

He dished on j-hope’s appearance on variety show and his recent solo concert in Seoul, “Also watched j-hope’s “I Live Alone” episode.

I’m officially a Jung Hoseok fan.

Really sad that I couldn’t attend the concert.

It was a chance to see ARMY…

Anyway! I miss you all!

I love you!.”

Meanwhile, BTS V began his military service in December 2023, and his military discharge is scheduled for June 10.
