In an exciting turn of events, two members of K-pop sensation BTS, RM and V, have officially completed their mandatory military service, igniting a wave of anticipation among their dedicated fans. A bustling crowd, with some fans flying in from across the globe, gathered at Hybe's headquarters in Seoul to welcome them back, where they were greeted with salutes and a saxophone performance.
V encouraged fans to "wait just a little longer" as they look forward to a much-anticipated reunion. All seven BTS members are set to complete their military duties by the end of the month, with their agency Hybe teasing upcoming plans for a reunion. The group has been on hiatus since 2022, riding high on their global success.
Fans adorned in purple—the signature color of BTS—waved banners and photos, expressing their joy. "This feels amazing," said Janya from the UK. "BTS inspires so many of us!" Others, like Hannah from London, planned their trips long ago, excited for the chance to see the band at their annual BTS Festa celebration.
During their discharge ceremony in Chuncheon, RM expressed gratitude for their fans' support while V reflected on how the military service allowed him to reset both physically and mentally. The group's popularity skyrocketed following a highly successful US tour in 2017, solidifying them as one of the most awarded acts in history.
BTS has also been champions of youth issues, advocating for mental health initiatives and addressing important societal topics. With the members set to reunite soon, the excitement among ARMY—BTS' fan base—continues to grow as they celebrate the return of their beloved stars.
