BTS's V continues to impress with his dedication during his military service, even overcoming physical challenges.

On April 19, an Instagram post from A, a fellow soldier who served alongside V, shared heartwarming updates about V's time in the military. Despite suffering from shoulder and thigh injuries, V earned the prestigious Exemplary Military Police Award, highlighting his exceptional performance.

A revealed that V excelled in multiple areas, earning first place in shooting and winter urban training, and even finishing first in a grueling 3 km physical fitness test. "It was so romantic," A said, recalling how V completed the run well ahead of the special standards.

V’s dedication didn’t stop there. According to A, the BTS member also contributed to his unit by donating exercise equipment and often treated his fellow soldiers to meals, including eel sushi, during breaks.

In the photos shared, V can be seen smiling with his fellow soldiers, fully integrating into his military life. V, who enlisted in December 2023, is currently serving in the Special Military Police Special Task Unit (SDT) and is expected to be discharged on June 10th.

V's thoughtful and caring nature has not gone unnoticed. His fellow soldiers have shared many stories of his kindness, calling him the "problem solver" and praising his helpful attitude. In addition to his recent award, V was also honored as a distinguished trainee at the Army Training Center graduation ceremony.

This latest achievement further cements V’s reputation as a dedicated and inspiring figure, both on and off the stage.

The hit drama Weak Hero 2 is taking over both streaming charts and fans’ hearts—and now it’s bringing massive attention back to the original Naver webtoon Weak Hero.

According to Netflix's Tudum Top 10 update on April 30, Weak Hero 2 pulled in a huge 6.1 million views (based on total watch time divided by full runtime) just three days after its release. It grabbed the #1 spot on the Global TOP 10 Non-English TV Series chart.

That’s not all—right after it dropped, the drama soared to the top of Korea’s TOP 10 Series and even made the TOP 10 charts in 63 countries, including Brazil, France, Mexico, Belgium, Morocco, Greece, Indonesia, and more.

This follows the success of Weak Hero 1, which previously ranked #8 and stayed on the global chart for five weeks straight.

With all eyes on the new season, fans are now rushing to read the original webtoon, leading to a massive jump in popularity.

The webtoon, which first started in May 2018 and wrapped up in November 2023, is famous for its intense storytelling and emotional depth.

It tells the story of Yeon Si Eun, a quiet and seemingly weak student who turns into a top fighter at a violent school—giving fans a unique and gripping coming-of-age story.

After Weak Hero Class 2 aired, many viewers started reading or re-reading the webtoon from beginning to end. As a result, sales of the webtoon have shot up more than 20 times compared to its average monthly sales after completion.

The series has also been turned into printed books, a mobile game, and even emojis, and has been exported to 9 countries, including North America.

When the first season of the drama premiered on Wavve in 2022, it held 45% of the platform’s total viewing share, proving its wide appeal.

Fans are now hoping for a new sequel season of the webtoon, and the franchise is being praised as a perfect example of how a strong original story can keep growing through great adaptations.
