During the interview, the members were asked what they missed most about each other and when it came to RM about V, he explained, “I missed his… when he was really skinny because he became like 86KG in the military. Now he’s got skinny again, so you look good.”

Netizens didn’t take to RM’s comments too lightly, seemingly believing it was having a dig at V’s bulkier physique when he was enlisted and trying to say how he is better being skinny. Considering the discourse in K-Pop about weight, it became even more apparent, and fans thought it was an odd thing for RM to say so publicly.
the way several members have been talking abt tae being buff and the concept of thinness, saying they thought he was gonna retire and preaching about how “idols should be skinny” i can only imagine the pressure tae was put under to slim down when this is the kind of environment… https://t.co/Haf6smD7Pe

no bcos why is his body a topic for them? All he did was become buff from the intense training from his special force unit and suddenly they are acting like he was overweight or something. This is actually so fvcking weird https://t.co/Tvz6g7mAGx

Why do they act like Taehyung is fat or overweight when he's the total opposite of it?!
Nothing good about this show today. They made him uncomfortable twice and armys are doing the same unfortunately. https://t.co/wDHfIz61HI
