RM and V briefly spoke to the press and said they planned to return to the stage soon
BTS members RM and V were discharged from the South Korean military on Monday after completing their 18-month mandatory service. Both RM and V were enlisted as active-duty soldiers in the Army. They mark the third and fourth members of the K-Pop group to finish their required time in the military, following J-Hope and Jin, who were released last year.
Following their release, RM and V briefly spoke to the press, where they said they planned to return to the stage soon, according to Reuters.
RM, V, Jimin, Jungkook, and Suga all enlisted around similar times (RM and V enlisted individually through their own procedures, while Jimin and Jung Kook enlisted at the same time). Jungkook and Jimin are set to be released later this week, and Suga will be released at the end of the month. Suga was assigned alternative service, which typically involves a shorter duration, and will be the last BTS member to return from service.
Details on an official BTS reunion have not yet been shared.
