The wait for BTS’s reunion is almost over—RM and V are finally back from the military!

On June 10, RM and and V were discharged after completing their military service. RM and V enlisted in December 2023, and they severed as members of the 15th Infantry Division Military Army Band and the II Corps Special Duty Team, respectively.

After being discharged from their respective divisions, the two moved to a location in Chuncheon to greet fans with bright smiles, with RM even giving a saxophone performance of the “Case Closed” OST.

RM shared, “Although there were difficulties [while in the military], I felt that there were many people who had been protecting our country in our stead while we were promoting [as BTS],” adding, “It was a meaningful time in which I could become closer to other people who have served in the military before. I’m worried for my juniors. I hope to see them again in good health after they endure a bit longer and return to society. Thank you to ARMY who waited. I will work hard as BTS’s RM back in society.”

V also talked about his experience in the military, considering it a time to once again think about his mind and body. He shared, “I want to sincerely express my gratitude to ARMY who waited. If you wait just a little bit longer, we will return with great performances.” While thanking the fellow soldiers who supported him while in the military, V added, “I’ll work hard as an admirable person back in society.”

Regarding what they want to the most after their return, RM shared, “I want to perform the most. I want to quickly work hard to make an album and return to the stage,” adding, “We will greet [fans] again as BTS’s RM and V. Thank you.”
