BTS’s V, known for his warm friendship with fellow service members, recently shared some heartwarming updates from his military life. On October 31st, V congratulated a senior who was being discharged, sharing a picture with a message, “Ebc1180, everyone did a great job.” The photo shows V in a sleeveless shirt, showcasing his impressive physique and healthy skin as he travels with fellow soldiers.
The touching letters from senior members being discharged captured attention. One senior wrote, “Hi Taehyung hyung. We’ve talked a lot even during our time in the unit, but there’s more to say, so I’m writing this. Since you joined us in February, working out together and encouraging each other has been a joy. Our unit’s gym had poor equipment, but thanks to your donation, it made exercising enjoyable and motivating. You even bought Haagen-Dazs at the PX and treated us to a meal when the new song ‘Friends’ was released—it was delicious.”
In response to the senior’s letter, V wrote, “I was so happy to spend time with you during our service, and exercising together was a lot of fun. I was worried there would be a barrier because of our age difference, but we broke it down and became like friends. It’s unforgettable. I wish we were actually colleagues; it’s a shame. Congratulations on your discharge, as both a friend and a senior. Even if you don’t succeed, let’s not forget our memories. Visit often, and let’s continue to have fun. Thank you for the good memories during those eight months.”
Another senior expressed, “I already miss you, Taehyung hyung. Living with you filled my days with good memories. You always supported our dreams and helped solve our worries. You were like a troubleshooter for us and provided workout equipment, which I appreciate. The time with you was an invaluable experience, and your support solidified my unclear dreams. Thank you for giving me hope, and I won’t forget the favor. I’ll achieve my dreams and stand before you. Thank you, and stay safe!”
These interactions reflect the strong bonds V has formed in the military, leaving a lasting impression with his kindness and support. V’s promise to visit and the mutual plans for meetings have left a heartwarming impact.
