BTS¡¯ Jungkook officially completed his military service on June 11, alongside fellow member Jimin. The duo later appeared on a live broadcast from HYBE, reflecting on their time in uniform and thanking ARMY for their unwavering support. But just as fans were catching their breath from the discharge news, the internet exploded over something else: two shirtless mirror pics of Jungkook that are now burning up Army Twitter (now X).
The viral photos, reportedly shared by one of Jungkook¡¯s military buddies, show the Seven singer flexing in front of a mirror, tattoos out, and muscles fully loaded.
In the first image, Jungkook is seen shirtless, rocking a beanie, and flexing just enough to show off his defined physique and full sleeve tattoo. Behind him, his military buddy strikes a pose too, snapping the photo with a cheeky grin and matching gym energy.
The second pic is as enigmatic and has Jungkook throwing a peace sign over his friend¡¯s head, flashing a subtle smile while both remain shirtless.
Notably, the original source of the pics remains unknown, but according to fan pages, the friend captioned the post with, ¡°Not just a week but a whole year ¡ You made my soldier life fun. I¡¯ll cheer you on from afar.¡±
One fan wrote, ""My brain short-circuits when I see Jungkook shirtless and then in a regular shirt¡ªlike, how does he look so small in those uniforms but then so buff without a shirt? I don¡¯t get it!"
Another cheekily recommended, "Jungkook should just post a 4k shirtless body pic on Insta, sign out, and give us a heart attack."
"I have seen him come FRESH out of the shower and seen him shirtless over a hundred times, but I still get so dizzy every time. Jeon Jungkook, you will be the death of me," a third wrote.
One joked, "Jungkook took a shirtless photo with every soldier, or what?"
"Wasn't jungkook being camera shy!?!?! Then where tf that shirtless pic came from," added one fan. The fan was referring to his discharge ceremony, where he appeared coy and giggly along with Jimin as a sea of reporters captured them.?
?However, some fans were also sceptical whether the photos were edited, as the source of the photos remains unclear.
With Jungkook now officially discharged, BTS is one step closer to a full group comeback¡ªonly Suga remains, set to complete his service on June 21. While BIGHIT Music has yet to confirm any official plans, industry insiders are already buzzing about a new album and a massive world tour lined up for the fourth quarter of the year.
