Two members of K-pop powerhouse BTS have completed their mandatory military service, prompting fan frenzy and anticipation for their comeback.
RM and V greeted fans with salutes and a saxophone performance after being discharged on Tuesday.
V asked fans to “wait just a little longer” for BTS to reunite.
“I want to say to RM and V that you are a massive inspiration, and I love you so much!”
Thank you for waiting for us during our military service,” he said.
Fan excitement and expectation for K-pop powerhouse BTS’s return have increased since two of its members have finished their required military service.
After being released on Tuesday, RM and V gave salutes to the fans and performed on the saxophone. V urged devoted followers to “wait just a little longer” for the reunion of BTS.
Their agency, Hybe, had alluded to a reunion, and all seven members are scheduled to complete their military service by the end of this month. At the peak of their international renown in 2022, they took a break.
RM and V’s return was celebrated Tuesday by hundreds of fans, some of whom traveled from abroad, who gathered in front of Hybe’s headquarters in central Seoul.
Carrying big banners and pictures of the two K-pop stars, many of them wore purple, which is BTS’s signature color.
To be prepared to fight the North, South Korea requires all physically fit men between the ages of 18 and 28 to serve in the military for roughly two years.
A banner with the words “We are back” and the official logos of BTS and ARMY, which stands for Adorable Representative MC for Youth, the band’s fan group, were up on Hybe’s building on Tuesday.
“This is amazing. to visit Seoul and witness the city where BTS was born, raised, and began performing. Flying in from the UK, Janya told The Korea Herald, “It’s incredible.”.
According to the 28-year-old, “I want to tell RM and V that you are a huge inspiration, and I love you so much!”.
“I haven’t seen you in a very long time. Ivory from Australia remarked, “I’m so happy you’re back and ready to do anything you want.”.
London resident Hannah Chung told the AFP news agency that she had planned her trip two years prior “because I knew the members will be out by then.”.
On Friday, the band will celebrate their debut with the annual BTS Festa, and she is hoping to catch a glimpse of them there.
RM expressed gratitude to the fans for waiting for them to finish their national duties during their earlier discharge in Chuncheon.
“As BTS’s RM, I’m prepared to get started right away. He thanked everyone who waited and took care of us.
V claimed that his time in the military was a “time for me to reset both physically and mentally”.
“As soon as possible, I would really like to join the Army. He thanked them for waiting for them while we were in the military.
