The anticipation for BTS' return grows as RM and V are discharged from military duties.
Hundreds of enthusiastic fans flocked to Hybe's central Seoul headquarters to celebrate RM and V's return, marking a significant moment for the beloved K-pop group BTS. The two members were discharged from their mandatory military service on Tuesday, and their return has set off waves of excitement among fans, many of whom traveled from abroad to witness the moment.
During their reunion with fans, RM and V welcomed the crowd with hand salutes, followed by a charming saxophone performance. V addressed the eager supporters, asking them to "wait just a little longer" for the full return of BTS, as all seven members are on track to complete their service by the end of the month. The group went on hiatus back in 2022 at the peak of their international popularity.
Dressed in the signature purple of BTS, devoted followers rejoiced outside Hybe's building, where a banner declaring "We are back" was proudly displayed alongside the official logos of BTS and their loyal fanbase, known as ARMY (Adorable Representative MC for Youth).
Fans shared their emotional responses upon seeing RM and V. Janya, a 28-year-old from the UK, expressed her gratitude and admiration, saying, "You are a massive inspiration." Ivory, a fan from Australia, echoed similar sentiments, stating, "I’m so glad you’re back and finally free to do whatever you want to do." Meanwhile, Hannah Chung from London shared that her trip had been planned two years in advance, as she anticipated seeing the members of BTS upon their return.
During the discharge ceremony in Chuncheon, RM thanked fans for their support while they fulfilled their national service, expressing eagerness to "hit the ground running again as RM of BTS." V reflected on his military experience, describing it as a period for personal growth and expressing his eagerness to reunite with their fans.
BTS has risen to unprecedented levels of fame, establishing themselves as global icons since their debut in 2013. Their innovative blend of pop, hip-hop, and R&B, primarily performed in Korean, has captivated audiences worldwide. The group has broken numerous records, including becoming the most-streamed act on Spotify and the first K-pop group to top both the US iTunes chart and several Billboard charts.
In response to their immense popularity, BTS has also contributed to significant social causes.

Despite a past military deferment, all members of the group enlisted following the eldest member, Jin.
With only days to go until the last member completes their service, fans eagerly await the group's anticipated reunion and the celebrations tied to the annual BTS Festa, marking their debut. The world of K-pop is buzzing with excitement as BTS prepares for their thrilling comeback.
