BTS' V aka Kim Taehyung and Jungkook reunite in rare gym photo, flexing their military gains; Taekook fans go wild
BTS¡¯s V and Jungkook reunite in a rare gym photo, showing off their impressive military gains, sending Taekook fans into a frenzy. The photo, shared by bodybuilder Choi Hanjin, sparks excitement as ARMY celebrates their unbreakable bond during military service.

BTS ARMY get excited over any update about the group, but things go to a whole different level when it involves V, aka Kim Taehyung, and Jungkook. And what¡¯s better than a new Taekook (a hybrid name used for Taehyung and Jungkook) photo? That¡¯s exactly what fans got on Saturday, and now social media is lighting up. Not that anyone¡¯s complaining.
V and Jungkook's new photo shows their buffed-up physique
A new photo of BTS¡¯s V (Kim Taehyung) and Jungkook is making waves online, and fans are zooming in like detectives. The picture was shared by South Korean bodybuilder Choi Hanjin, who posted several shots with Taehyung from their workout time. While most focused on V, one photo quietly featured Jungkook standing beside him. His face was mostly hidden behind a mask and cap, but fans had no trouble spotting him. Those puppy eyes, that build, and his signature stance made it obvious.
In the photo, both Taehyung and Jungkook are dressed in all-black outfits, striking casual muscle-flexing poses while bodybuilder Choi Hanjin snaps a mirror selca. Jungkook may be covered up in his usual oversized clothes, but his bulked-up frame still stands out; there¡¯s no hiding that gym progress. Taehyung, on the other hand, is wearing a sleeveless shirt and fully embracing the flex, showing off his arms better than any award he¡¯s ever lifted.
Fans noticed the photo appears recent, as the post included a shot of V that he recently posted on Instagram, proudly flexing his biceps, a moment that sent ARMY Twitter into a frenzy.ARMY react to Taekook photos:
As soon as the photo was shared, ARMY were quick to react. Taekook fans especially couldn¡¯t hide their excitement. Timelines were filled with memes, edits, and happy comments.

Fans have always been drawn to the bond between V and Jungkook. From debut days to world tours, their friendship has stayed steady through all the noise. Now, even in the middle of military life, that connection seems as strong as ever. One photo, not even meant to be a big reveal, was enough to spark a fresh wave of Taekook love.
Both are expected to finish their service in June 2025 along with RM, Suga, and Jimin, and fans are already counting down.
