BTS' V shows off huge muscles in gym selfie with bodybuilder friend, gears up with new look ahead of August surprise
Drenched in sweat, probably taken just after a workout, V displayed the epitome of K-pop idol beauty in the photo. A grey T-shirt covered his torso with rolled-up sleeves, trying and failing to contain his muscly biceps. Fans who checked out the photo could not help but notice how far along his two arm moles had gotten. The marks which previously stood a couple of inches apart are separate poles now, thanks to the gym gains of the singer. And while he was able to make an 'elephant face' with them earlier, we wonder what it would appear as now.
V boasts muscular growth in just 2 months
More notably, V has hung out with Choi Han Jin in the past, working out at the gym solo and with fellow BTS member Jungkook, showing off their growth. Fans have also made a note of his buffed-up physique over the last couple of months, especially since his military discharge. Once appearing toned, he now looks more muscular.
BTS is said to be working out together as the members opened up about their very competitive sessions in Los Angeles. Now, back in South Korea, Jungkook hung out with Physical: 100 star Ma Sun Ho just a day ago, showing off his own physique and giving a clearer peek at his new chest ink. The two youngest members of the team have been making the fans go crazy with the gym updates and getting them excited for possible shirtless moments.
Meanwhile, the Rainy Days star recently spoke about a surprise for the BTS ARMY, which will be released in August, and while he did not spill any details, the fans are guessing a photoshoot or a new song could be on the way.

Did BTS Record A Michael Jackson Song For A Tribute Album?
Big Hit Music claimed that BTS never visited the studio in Ireland or took part in any recording for the album related to the Michael Jackson tribute. BTS fans were very excited recently when news of them recording a Michael Jackson song for a tribute album started spreading online. It was reported that Jin, Suga, J Hope, RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook had worked on the track last year. However, this turned out to be false, and it was septet's agency, Big Hit Music, who recently denied these reports. They said BTS never visited the studio in Ireland or took part in any recording for the album. The agency made it clear that the group is not involved in the tribute album in any way. Taking to X (Formerly Twitter), the agency wrote, 'We would like to address recent media reports concerning BTS's alleged participation in a Michael Jackson tribute album. BTS has neither visited Grouse Lodge Studio in Ireland nor taken part in any recording sessions at the location for the mentioned project. The group is not involved in the tribute album in any capacity. We are continuing to take appropriate measures to prevent the spread of inaccurate information. We express our sincere gratitude to fans for continuously showing support for BTS. We remain fully committed to supporting the artists and their endeavours."

These tracks were reportedly found in a storage unit and had never been shared with the public before. Speaking with The Irish Sun, he said, 'The sessions started last year and we have already had the Korean boy band BTS over with us in Grouse Lodge, recording one of the songs. There's about ten more, written especially for Michael by the collaborators he worked with in Ireland, including producer Rodney Jerkins and rapper Nephew, who have signed up for the project." Paddy Dunning further shared that he had a conversation with Michael Jackson's estate and got their approval to move forward with the release of an unreleased song and a documentary. The documentary will show Michael's time in Ireland, where he enjoyed special moments with his three children. Paddy mentioned that the estate supports the project because they also see it as a respectful way to honour Michael's memory. Currently, BTS is in the USA, where they are busy working on their comeback album. First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

BIGHIT shuts down BTS–Michael Jackson collab rumours: ‘Not involved in any capacity'
The internet lit up yesterday with reports claiming BTS had recorded a track for a posthumous Michael Jackson tribute album, but those rumours have now been shut down for good. BTS Fans of the global K-pop sensation were initially stunned, then divided, over claims that BTS had visited Grouse Lodge Studio in Ireland to record one of Michael Jackson's unreleased tracks. The rumour, which came from an interview with studio owner Paddy Dunning, sparked backlash from those unfamiliar with BTS' long-documented admiration for Jackson. But as the story picked up steam, BigHit Music stepped in to set the record straight. 'Hello, This is BIGHIT MUSIC. We would like to address recent media reports concerning BTS' alleged participation in a Michael Jackson tribute album. BTS has neither visited Grouse Lodge Studio in Ireland nor taken part in any recording sessions at the location for the mentioned project. The group is not involved in the tribute album in any capacity. We are continuing to take appropriate measures to prevent the spread of inaccurate information. We express our sincere gratitude to fans for continuously showing support for BTS. We remain fully committed to supporting the artists and their endeavours. Thank you,' said the statement. How did the rumour start? On August 3, a well-known Michael Jackson fan site MJ Vibe reported that Paddy Dunning, who owns the Grouse Lodge studio in Ireland, had told The Irish Sun that BTS had allegedly visited the studio to record a track for an upcoming tribute album, which features unreleased songs Jackson worked on during his stay in Ireland. According to the report, the song dates back to 2006, when Jackson was working on music that never saw the light of day. 'The sessions started last year and we have already had the Korean boy band BTS over with us in Grouse Lodge, recording one of the songs,' Dunning was quoted as saying. He added that ten more unreleased tracks, created during Jackson's time in Ireland with collaborators like Rodney Jerkins and Nephew, are expected to be part of the project. Alongside the music, Dunning mentioned a documentary that's being planned to honour Jackson's quiet years in Ireland with his children. 'Michael's estate told me to plough ahead with this because, like me, they see it as a tribute to Michael. And for the documentary, we're going to get everyone's memories of working with Michael in Ireland," he shared. He also recalled meeting Jackson's son Prince in the US and said that the Jackson children — Prince, Paris, and Blanket — had fond memories of their time at Grouse Lodge and hoped to visit again. While the tribute project itself remains a mystery for now, one thing is certain: BTS are not involved!
