BTS’ Group Workout Sessions in LA
A recent video on Kim Jong Kook’s YouTube channel revealed that Physical: 100 star Ma Sun Ho has been training BTS members during their stay in the U.S. He shared that V (Kim Taehyung) and Jungkook initially began hitting the gym together, but their energy inspired other members to join. Soon, leader RM, followed by SUGA and Jimin, became part of the workout crew, making it a full-fledged BTS fitness session.
Jungkook’s ‘Bodybuilder’ Physique
When asked if Jungkook had bulked up, Ma Sun Ho confirmed that the singer had gained significant muscle mass during his military service. He even described Jungkook as “almost a bodybuilder”, a major compliment coming from a professional fitness trainer. V’s impressive physique, shaped during his time in South Korea’s Special Duty Team (SDT), has also been drawing praise — even RM admitted that V’s current fitness level surpasses his own and possibly Jungkook’s.
Fans Anticipate a Shirtless BTS Comeback
With J-Hope and other members often showing off their toned bodies, fans are speculating that the upcoming comeback might feature a more muscular and rugged look for the group. Kim Jong Kook also teased V’s appearance on his YouTube channel soon, adding to the excitement.
