During the live, when asked about diets, BTS’s V shared his honest thoughts, which earned praise.
The idol honestly explained that he wasn’t on a strict diet and focused on his desire to live a healthier lifestyle, noting that he went to the gym every day while on tour with J-Hope and Jungkook. He was seemingly sharing that this was the focus to stay healthy rather than trying to do extreme diets to lose weight.
