BTS’ Kim Taehyung, aka V, has sent the internet into a frenzy with his recent Instagram story featuring South Korean dancer and choreographer Lee-jung Lee. On November 28, 2024, V shared an Instagram story seemingly filmed in one of HYBE's dance practice rooms. Notably, he is serving in the military and is out on permitted leave.
Taehyung was seen practicing a dance routine along with NWX's Lee-jung Lee, who is popular for her dancing abilities. Furthermore, Lee-jung Lee also shared a story on Instagram where she addressed the Layover singer as her student. As the clips went viral on other social media platforms like X, fans were surprised to see the transformation in Kim Taehyung's physique after joining the military.
The BTS member wore a white tank top over black pants, with a checkered shirt tied around his waist. In one of the clips, he wore a cap on his head and covered his face with a mask. Given that he wore a mask, some fans couldn't recognize him as Kim Taehyung. Fans were stunned to see his physical transformation and shared their reactions on X.
“What is he being that buff for,” a fan wrote.
“THIS IS NOT KIM TAEHYUNG THIS IS NOT V WE NEED A NICKNAME FOR THIS VERSION OF TAEHYUNG IM LOVING IT OMG WHY DID THE VIDEO STOP I NEED THE FULL VERSION IM GOING INSANE OMG TAE IS SO BUFF,” another fan said.
