BTS members Kim Namjoon, aka RM, and Kim Taehyung, aka V, have been discharged from the South Korean military after completing their mandatory service. And they made a memorable exit, with RM playing the saxophone and V carrying a bouquet of flowers. The duo hinted at returning to the stage soon, sending fans into a frenzy on social media. 

BTS' RM and V complete military service

RM and V were discharged from the South Korean military on Tuesday after mandatory service. They were cheered by dozens of fans near the military base as the two members, in their army uniforms, saluted the crowd.

According to Soompi, RM and V enlisted in December 2023. They served as members of the 15th Infantry Division Military Army Band and the II Corps Special Duty Team, respectively.

After being discharged from their respective divisions, the two moved to a location in Chuncheon where they greeted fans and made the moment even more special -- RM treated fans to a saxophone performance of the Case Closed (Detective Conan) soundtrack. 

Meanwhile, V stood beside him with a big smile on his face and two flower bouquets in his hands. The duo stepped out of separate vehicles and exchanged a light hug. The pair departed separately in two black minivans after offering one final salute.

"To all the ARMYs who have waited for us in the military, I want to say I am truly, truly grateful. Please wait just a little longer and we will return with a really cool performance," V said in front of fans and media.

Shortly after being released, RM posted a few images to Instagram to give his followers a taste of his day. His uniform was displayed in the images, along with a picture of him in a car, all of which captured various emotions. He captioned, "2023.12.11 ~ 2025.6.10", giving the dates of his enlistment and discharge. In the meantime, V posted a photo of himself and RM strolling together in their military attire with their arms around one other on his Instagram story.

Fan frenzy

Fans were happy to see RM and V reunited after their release. After 18 months away from the stage, their camaraderie, cheerful grins, and shared excitement were a welcome sight. The BTS ARMY was overcome with emotion as images and videos went viral on social media.

"Proud of you guys! Welcome back, Taehyung & RM!" wrote one fan on X (formerly Twitter), while another fan exclaimed, "That smile and hug. This is what I live for." Many posts stated, "This is endearing and I can’t wait to see them all together again," and "They are already vibing."

"Tears in my eyes they're finally home," one commenter said, while another said, "Joonie playing the saxophone. V looking at him with that cutest smile... that's my home."

On June 11, Jimin and Jungkook will be released after RM and V. The reunion of the entire BTS team will take place on June 21, when Suga becomes the final member to be released.
