BTS Members RM and V Complete Military Service, Fans Eagerly Await Return
The K-pop sensation BTS celebrates a significant milestone with the discharge of two members, heightening fan anticipation for their reunion.
On Tuesday, RM and V welcome back their eager supporters with enthusiastic salutes and a saxophone performance. V expressed gratitude for the patience shown by fans, urging them to "wait just a little longer" before the group reunites. The seven-member band is scheduled to have all its members finished with military service by the end of the month. Fans swarmed the streets adorned in purple, the official color of BTS, while showcasing large banners and photos in honor of the idol duo.
In South Korea, all able-bodied men must serve approximately two years in the military due to national defense requirements. The group's agency, Hybe, celebrated RM and V's discharge with a banner proclaiming, “We are back,” featuring both BTS and ARMY logos.
Among the enthusiastic crowd was Janya from the UK, who marveled at having reached the pivotal location where BTS launched their careers. "It's amazing," she exclaimed. Keeping the spirit high was Ivory, an Australian fan who expressed his excitement about the band’s return, stating, “It’s been a long, long time without you.”
Hannah Chung, who planned her trip to coincide with the band’s discharge, shared her hope to attend the annual BTS Festa just days ahead. During their discharge ceremony in Chuncheon, RM took a moment to thank fans for their unwavering support. “Now, I'm ready to hit the ground running again as RM of BTS,” he declared. V reflected on his time in the military as a period to "reset both physically and mentally," emphasizing eagerness to be reunited with fans.
In their decade-long career, BTS has become a global phenomenon, recognized as the top-streamed group on Spotify and the first K-pop act to conquer the US iTunes chart. The group, known for its advocacy on youth-related issues and mental health initiatives, continues to have a significant impact on the music scene and beyond.
As the final members conclude their military service by the month's end, all eyes are set on BTS's much-anticipated return, underscoring their immense popularity and the undying love of the ARMY.
