BTS’s Taehyung, also known as V, recently had fans both charmed and concerned after opening up about his rapid weight loss. During a Weverse live broadcast on July 6, streamed straight from Paris, Taehyung revealed that he had lost 2 kilograms in just four days. His honest confession gave fans an unexpected look into the pressure he’s been feeling as he returns to the spotlight following his military service.
The live was filled with warmth and playfulness, as Taehyung casually chatted with ARMY. But when he began talking about his recent diet, the tone shifted a little. He explained that in order to prepare for his appearance at the CELINE Spring/Summer 2025 fashion show, he put himself on a strict diet. He shared that he didn’t want to look “messy” or unprepared, especially since this was one of his first big public events since his discharge. For Taehyung, looking polished wasn’t just about appearances—it was a sign of respect for the people he was meeting and for his fans.
In just four days, his weight dropped from 68 kilograms to 66. While that may not sound like a dramatic number to some, for someone already lean and under pressure, it’s a big change in a short time. Taehyung even admitted that he felt physically strained during the process. In his own words, “I was so hungry that my ribs hurt,” a comment that, while said lightly, hit fans hard. He ended the topic on a lighter note, announcing that the diet was officially over. “There’s nothing to do after this,” he joked, “and since it’s a preparation period, now I need to eat.”
Despite the cheerful tone, many fans couldn’t help but feel worried. The idea of him experiencing physical pain just from hunger made some ARMYs anxious about the pressure idols face to maintain a perfect image. Social media quickly filled with messages of concern. While fans praised his dedication and professionalism, they also urged him to take care of his health. Many expressed hope that he would never feel the need to push himself to that extent again, especially when it comes to something as sensitive as dieting.
Over the past few days in Paris, Taehyung’s schedule has been packed with back-to-back events. On July 6, he attended CELINE’s fashion show, turning heads with his elegance and charm. He was accompanied by his close friend, actor Park Bo Gum, adding a sweet personal touch to the glamorous occasion. Just two days earlier, on July 4, CELINE held a private party to welcome him back—an intimate celebration marking his return from military life.
Still, even with all the luxury and excitement, Taehyung made sure to prioritize his fans. The morning after the welcome party, he showed up on Weverse live—still a bit sleepy but full of love for ARMY. That simple gesture touched many hearts and reminded fans why they adore him so much.
Now that his Paris schedule has wrapped up, fans are hoping he’ll take a breather. They want him to enjoy good food, rest well, and recharge—because as much as they love seeing him shine, they love seeing him healthy and happy even more.
