K-pop supergroup BTS reached a major milestone in their group journey this week as members RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook officially completed their mandatory military service.
RM, 30, and V, 29, marked the end of their eighteen-month military duty on Tuesday, June 10, 2025.
Both RM and V were discharged in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, where RM served in the army band and V carried out his duties in a Special Military Police unit.
A livestream video from Seoul Broadcasting System (SBS), a Korean news outlet, showed RM and V greeting fans with salutes and a saxophone performance as they came out.
RM plays the saxophone while V looks on holding flower bouquets at an outdoor sporting facility in Chuncheon, after 18 months of South Korean mandatory military service.
