BTS RM’s Comment About V’s Weight Triggers Intense Fury
Recently, V made an appearance to promote the comeback.
One clip has sparked major backlash after the idol spoke about his muscular physique, especially after netizens had loved seeing him bulk up. Yet, V explained that while he tried to keep his promise to stay healthier for fans, after speaking to the members upon discharge, he decided to lose weight as the members looked at him and asked if he was “retiring.”
👤you worked hard in the military and really built up your muscles

When the clip was shared, netizens were angry at the way V had been treated by the members, and whether it was serious or not, the comment had impacted him enough to drop drastic amounts of weight.
taehyung was only around 67kg when he was discharged. the fact that the bts members asked tae if he was retiring just for gaining like 5-6kg of muscle is crazy. y’all are bts are should be helping change the unhealthy idol standards, not reinforcing them. what a shame. https://t.co/KSo3ZgdxKt

That was a low blow from the members, revealing just how manipulative their intentions were. But honestly, I’d rather focus on Taehyung, how effortlessly he transforms his body at will, leaving even those same members stunned at his control. Proving again he is the best idol,… https://t.co/XiYIIDrjHU

Are the members against him getting healthy and buff? Because they definitely didn’t have any issues with JK and RM putting on muscles! https://t.co/Mm9N4THTqr

Tae looks the best regardless but this really pissed me off. he looked so healthy after the military and he felt good about his physique.
they really asked him if he retires just bc he got buff? he was in special forces what did they expect? https://t.co/JCVg606kUC
