RM and V of the group BTS have returned to their fans after completing their military service.
On the morning of the 10th, at a sports park in Sinbuk-eup, Chuncheon, Gangwon-do. This day was not just a simple discharge, but a symbolic moment announcing the return of a world star.
The site was filled with cheers from fans and the sound of camera shutters, and RM and V appeared with unchanged gazes and a solid posture.
On his discharge, RM shared his hidden feelings during a live broadcast conducted through the official fan community Weverse. He said, “The night before, I talked for a long time with my juniors, and when I lay down around 2 AM, I cried a lot,” adding, “I felt all the joys and sorrows of being human.” He continued, “Thinking of my juniors made me emotional. It wasn’t just joyful; various emotions were mixed,” touching the hearts of fans.
In contrast, V conveyed an unexpected reaction. He calmly stated, “When my seniors were discharged, everyone cried, but I didn’t shed a tear.” He added, “I heard a lot about the dreams of my juniors. I genuinely wanted to support them. I thought about what I could do for them,” showing a more mature inner self. His remark about having “a truly unique experience in the military” reflected the 1 year and 6 months he had gone through.
The two communicated with domestic and international fans through a live broadcast on Weverse right after their discharge, signaling the ‘full group return’. Fans reacted enthusiastically, saying, “You’re really back now,” and “I can feel how much you’ve grown during that time.”
Meanwhile, BTS will celebrate their 12th anniversary on the 13th. To commemorate this, they will hold the ‘2025 BTS Festa’ on the 13th and 14th at KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do, where they will meet fans directly. This event is particularly special as it marks RM and V’s first official schedule after their discharge, making it an even more significant moment for fans who have been waiting for the ‘full group’.
