BTS member V has shared an update on his life after completing his mandatory military service.

On Aug. 11, fashion magazine W Korea uploaded a video on its YouTube channel titled “First reveal! V’s cherished items he brought all the way to Paris. The story behind BTS’ V crying at J-Hope’s concert.”

In the clip, V introduced the personal items he carries in his bag.

Taking out digestive medicine, he said, “I tend to eat in a hurry, so I often get indigestion. I take this whenever that happens.”

Speaking about melatonin, V said, “During my military service, when the lights went out at 10 p.m., I would sleep really well. After my discharge, having the freedom to go to bed whenever I want, I end up sleeping late. If I re-enlisted and had to sleep at 10 p.m., I think I could. Seeing how I can’t sleep like this in society, I think it’s that I’m choosing not to sleep.”

When asked about his own routine for a good night’s sleep, V said, “Close my eyes and think about nothing,” but then admitted, “All sorts of thoughts come to mind. I tend to overthink. Recently, I wondered, ‘If a rhino’s horn pierced my heart, would I die instantly or survive for about 10 seconds?’ I take melatonin so I don’t think about things like that.”

V also admitted that the night before filming, he slept well after drinking a lot of alcohol, drawing laughter.
