RM and V Return from Military Duty, Tease Upcoming BTS Performances
BTS members Kim Namjoon (RM) and Kim Taehyung (V) have officially wrapped up their mandatory military service and returned to civilian life, marking a major moment for the ARMY fandom worldwide. Their discharge on June 10, 2025, sparked waves of excitement and emotion, especially as the duo shared a touching moment with fans and hinted at future concerts.
The two were seen in uniform outside their military base, where they saluted cheering fans. RM gave a surprise saxophone performance of the Detective Conan soundtrack, while V stood beside him smiling warmly and holding flower bouquets. The members greeted the crowd in Chuncheon before departing in separate black vans, but not before offering one final salute and a friendly hug.
RM had served with the 15th Infantry Division Military Band, while V was part of the II Corps Special Duty Team. Both enlisted in December 2023 and spent the last 18 months fulfilling their duties with dedication and pride.
A Message to ARMY
Standing before media and supporters, V shared a heartfelt message:
“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.”
Shortly after his return, RM took to Instagram to share moments from his discharge day, including a few photos in uniform and a post captioned with his service dates: “2023.12.11 ~ 2025.6.10”. V also posted a sweet Instagram Story of the two walking side by side in uniform, showcasing their strong bond and shared joy.
Fans Overjoyed by the Reunion
Social media quickly lit up with love and support. Fans flooded X (formerly Twitter) with emotional messages and photos.
Comments included:
- “Welcome back, Taehyung & RM! So proud of you both!”
