With all seven members of BTS members back from military service, fans are finally getting the kind of easygoing, unfiltered moments that make the South Korean boy band feel like home again. During a Weverse live on July 15, RM dubbed himself, Jungkook, and Taehyung as the “workout crew”, followed by a playful debate over who now holds the title of the strongest in post-enlistment BTS, Koreaboo reported.
What's new in post-enlistment BTS?
During the Weverse live, RM, Jungkook, and V were seen talking about who is now the strongest in the group.
Jungkook, long known for his fitness routine, and RM, who bulked up before enlistment, both admitted they have been dethroned. The title, they say, now belongs to Kim Taehyung.
RM casually revealed that V has surpassed him in strength, while Jungkook quickly agreed, both affirming that post-military V is not just back, he is stronger than ever.
“Shocking news, Kim Taehyung is stronger than me now,” revealed RM during the live. Jungkook chimed in, “He’s stronger than me too.”
RM added, “We mostly do bodyweight exercises, but Taehyung joined the special unit and started lifting weights. He’s bigger than us. We can’t even finish the sets he does now.”
The video has since gone viral about just how strong V has become post-enlistment.
