BTS Members RM and V Complete Military Service, Fans Eager for Band's Return
As the members of BTS wrap up their military commitments, excitement builds among fans anticipating the group's reunion.
With fervent enthusiasm, fans welcomed back RM and V from military service, marking a significant moment for both the members and their loyal ARMY. On Tuesday, they were greeted with salutes and a memorable saxophone performance during their discharge. The two members encouraged fans to hold on a little longer for the full reunion of BTS, which has been on a hiatus since 2022 amidst their overwhelming global popularity.
In a display of collective joy, hundreds of fans from around the globe gathered at the headquarters of Hybe, the band's agency in central Seoul. Many attendees donned purple, the band's emblematic color, and carried banners illustrating their unwavering support for RM and V. Among those celebrating was Janya from the UK, who expressed her admiration, saying, "They're a massive inspiration, and I love you so much!" Similar sentiments were echoed by fans like Ivory from Australia and Hannah from London, who meticulously planned their trips to celebrate the members' return and expressed excitement for the annual BTS Festa.
Earlier, RM expressed gratitude towards fans who remained supportive during their military service, stating he was eager to resume his role as a BTS member. V reflected on his experience, describing it as a necessary time for personal growth and readiness to reunite with fans.
BTS has dominated the global music scene since their debut in 2013, transcending language barriers with their unique blend of pop, hip-hop, and R&B. Their trajectory skyrocketed following a groundbreaking tour in 2017, establishing them as the most-streamed group on Spotify and earning numerous accolades, including significant achievements on various Billboard charts.
The group had previously benefited from a national law allowing them to defer military service up to the age of 30. Following Jin’s enlistment in 2022, the remaining members followed suit to fulfill their mandatory service, a requirement for all able-bodied South Korean men. With the group now approaching full reinstatement, fans celebrate the significant chapter of BTS's journey, eager for what comes next in their remarkable career.
