It’s a major day in the BTS universe: RM and V have officially completed their military service! On June 10, 2025, the two stars were discharged after serving 18 months, and they wasted no time showing love to their fans. Greeting ARMY from Chuncheon, both idols appeared in full uniform, visibly emotional, and deeply thankful.
RM, who served in the 5th Division, shared a heartfelt message: “There have been many troubling and difficult things, but we felt that a lot of people were protecting the country during our time serving.” He added that the experience brought him closer to his father and friends who had also served, calling it a “precious time.” RM promised fans a strong comeback, saying, “Now that I’m back, I’ll be back to the cool BTS’ RM, so please look at us warmly.”
V, discharged from the 6th Division, also expressed his excitement to reunite with fans. “I really want to express my gratitude to everyone who has been waiting,” he said, before teasing, “If you wait just a little more, we’ll be back with an amazing performance.” Both idols also took the occasion to give a shoutout to their fellow military soldiers, with V echoing RM’s words, saying: ” Thank you to my military base and seniors. I will work hard as I return to civilian life to be a good and cool person.”
With three more BTS members back in civilian life (Jungkook, Jimin, and Suga), the countdown to a full group reunion is officially on!
