After being discharged, V and RM did a live broadcast for fans.

During the live, V honestly shared some TMI about his weight during his military enlistment and his current weight. The idol explained that while he started at 61 KG, it was known to fans that he got to 80 KG, but he added that upon his discharge, that he had lost a lot of that weight.

Netizens even shared the clip of V saying how he’d managed to lose the weight.

🐻 I really wanted to look good for armys, so I completely cut out carbs lately since they can cause bloating. I’ve been waking up at 5 am to work out on my own, just to get rid of the puffiness! It’s been a while since armys last saw me + pic.twitter.com/Ckp24VN6rV

Yet, netizens praised V because although he has lost weight, the idol seemed to share how happy he was at 80 KG, hitting back at expectations in the idol industry.

something about taehyung saying he lost weight but he really did love his body when it was at 80kg just sits right in my spirit like i’m so glad those stupid korean idol beauty standards never made him feel bad about how he looks
