'A breath of fresh air': ARMYs react to Kim Taehyung's new photo
The now-viral photo had the Winter Ahead singer striking his signature 'V' pose and had 'sharing the story of having a chance meeting with V' written on it.
On expected lines, fans went absolutely feral over Taehyung's new pic. While every photo of the BTS star gets crazy traction on social media, his military snaps enjoy a separate fanbase, with ARMYs gushing over his buffed-up physique.
