BTS' V Revels in Post-Military Freedom with Japan Getaway, Treats Fans to Glimpses of Food, Fitness & Fun

(MENAFNEditorial) BTS' V, also known as Kim Taehyung, is embracing his return to civilian life with quiet elegance and a touch of flair. Freshly discharged from 18 months of military service, the K-pop star recently slipped away on a low-key trip to Japan, offering fans a curated glimpse into his post-military mindset through a stylish Instagram photo dump.

From the Barracks to Tokyo Bites

Spotted at Gimpo Airport on June 29, V’s brief but buzzworthy escape fueled speculation, which he later confirmed with a series of 18 artfully captured photos. His Japan visit—short yet rich with personal moments—showcased everything from delicious food to gym sessions and serene swims. “I was able to check out a lot of delicious food and loosen up,” he noted, hinting at his refreshed state of mind.

The photos spoke volumes. Highlights included a shirtless gym selfie that sent fans into a frenzy, a chic red jacket look, a quirky mirror selfie with a juice box, peaceful poolside moments, and warm restaurant scenes. Each image reflected Taehyung’s signature aesthetic—elegant, playful, and undeniably authentic.

Discipline Meets Expression

Post-service, V hasn’t strayed far from the structure of military life. He’s resumed ballet classes and is back in the gym, balancing artistic grace with a sculpted physique. As Pinkvilla put it, “He has ensured he can maintain broad shoulders and toned muscles,” blending strength with style.
