BTS Members RM and V Decide to Forgo Military Service

South Korea's heartthrobs RM and V from the globally renowned boy band BTS have officially wrapped up their 18-month military stint [Source: Yonhap News Agency]. The duo addressed reporters and a throng of dedicated fans outside a military base in Chuncheon on a chilly Tuesday morning.

"My military journey taught me an invaluable lesson: It's our fans and fellow citizens who have made it possible for us to achieve our dreams, as soldiers safeguard our nation both in the frontlines and behind the scenes," 30-year-old rapper RM shared, reflected in his words [Source: Yonhap].

Joining RM and V in freedom are three more BTS members: Jimin and Jungkook, who are due for dismissal on the following day, and Suga, who serves as a social worker owing to health concerns, anticipating his discharge on June 21 [Sources: 1, 2, 3]. Thus, only Jin and J-Hope have successfully completed their military service, gradually bringing the band together again.

A Discharge-Induced Fervor

The mandatory 18-month military service for able-bodied South Korean males has substantially delayed BTS's career momentum, leading to numerous break speculations—even sparking rumors of an unfortunate disbandment. However, these conjectures were promptly debunked by the BTS camp.

BTS has conquered the South Korean pop music scene, also known as K-Pop, and made its mark globally, with chart-toppers like "Dynamite" and "Permission to Dance." Their debut single, "No More Dream," was unveiled back in June 2013. Now that most members are moments away from completing their military obligations, fans eagerly await a reunion and future collaborative endeavors.

"With the band soon reunited, eager fans can look forward to attending future concerts and witnessing firsthand the magic of BTS's mesmerizing music performances."
