BTS V’s Former Training Campmate Shares Heartwarming Memories from Military Service
BTS member V is once again drawing attention for his military service after a former training campmate shared new memories of their time together, offering a glimpse into the idol’s personality while serving in the military.
On Friday, May 29, Star News reported additional details about V’s experience as a trainee, including a heartwarming account from a fellow soldier who trained alongside him.
The story resurfaced shortly after V reflected on his military days during a recent Weverse live broadcast with his BTS bandmates.
During the livestream, V recalled a humorous incident that took place during religious activities at the training camp.
According to the singer, he attended a Catholic Mass with other trainees when one individual was asked about his baptismal name. Instead of providing a traditional answer, the trainee reportedly replied with the names of video game characters, saying, “I like Mordekaiser, Miss Fortune, and Lux!”
V’s Generosity at Military Camp
The lighthearted anecdote prompted one of V’s former training campmates to share his own experiences serving alongside the BTS star.
According to the former trainee, the enlistment of two BTS members was a major topic of conversation when he entered the military. He later discovered that he had been assigned to the same 1st platoon as V.
The former campmate also recalled V’s generosity during training, claiming that the singer gifted Korean beef to fellow trainees as a gesture of appreciation and told them they had worked hard.
Another memorable moment involved a Christmas church musical that the trainees attended together. After the performance, V reportedly tried to leave quietly with his head lowered when people asked him to greet the audience. However, when he eventually waved before leaving, the room reportedly erupted in cheers.
Beyond those moments, the former soldier spoke positively about V’s character and leadership. He revealed that V volunteered to serve as platoon leader and described him as someone who consistently encouraged and guided others.
Lasting Impression About V
The campmate further praised the BTS member’s personality, describing him as kind, positive, playful, affectionate, and generous-hearted. According to his account, V’s leadership and attitude left a lasting impression on those who trained alongside him.
The resurfaced story has quickly gained attention among fans, many of whom have welcomed the additional insight into V’s life during military service. The account has further strengthened the singer’s reputation among former fellow soldiers, who continue to remember him not only as a global superstar but also as a dependable and caring member of their unit.
