BTS' Kim Taehyung, who is referred to by his stage name V, was spotted at IU's HER (aka HEREH) World Tour encore concert at the Seoul World Cup Stadium on September 22, 2024. The Blue singer-songwriter wore a casual white half-sleeved t-shirt, a navy blue hoodie, and regular denim. He took off his hoodie, which was still hanging around his neck, and showed off his right arm.
Taehyung seemed to have gained weight, and fans were surprised to see his body proportions. Additionally, he shared several photos from the concert on his Instagram account. One of the photos showed the BTS member using his iPhone to capture IU's Love wins all performance. Fans praised the singer's new appearance, swarming X (formerly Twitter) with compliments on his larger biceps.
One fan wrote,
"Absolutely love how cool he is"

Astute fans pointed to the mole on his right bicep and made light of the fact that his bulking had caused his "elephant" moles to be spaced widely apart. For the unversed, BTS' V has two moles on his right bicep. He often joked about how if he squeezed his arm, the moles looked like an elephant's face.
"SGirl taehyung's bicep so big u can barely see the other elephant eye," one fan wrote.
"I know he told us this was his plan but did we all forget to consider the unintended consequences for arm elephant??!?!????" another fan said.
"This is doing serious damage to my brain," another fan joked.
Others mentioned how "boyfriend coded" the BTS idol looked in his casual attire at IU's concert.
"For a split sec all I saw was arm and I was like is this mingyu lore I don't know about- TAEHYUNG MY MAN TAEHYUNG," one fan said.
"THIS IS WHY PEOPLE (me) ARE INSANE," another fan joked.
"Taehyung is so boyfriend coded please the the haircut that made him x1000 extra attractive, the glasses, the arm accessories, the plain white shirt, the folding of arm sleeves that he usually do – exposing them pretty biceps I—," another fan wrote.
