BTS member RM celebrated his discharge by playing the saxophone.
RM and V completed their 1 year and 6 months of service and were discharged on the 10th. They enlisted in active duty in December 2023 and completed their service, with RM in the Army's 15th Infantry Division military band and V with the 802nd Military Police Battalion of the Army's 2nd Corps.
That day, after completing their discharge procedures at the base, the two met with reporters and fans in a location in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province, to convey their discharge greetings.
As they got out of the car, the two greeted each other with hugs, and the fans welcomed them with enthusiastic cheers. In particular, RM drew laughter by appearing while playing the saxophone.
RM expressed his feelings about his discharge, saying, “Finally discharged, we had a short military service, and the conditions have much improved. Honestly, there were many painful and difficult times, but I felt a lot that many people protected the country in our place while we were active.”
He added, “I felt that we could actively work because many people were protecting the country and fighting at the front and rear while we were active.”
He also said, “I came to get closer to my father and friends. It was a meaningful time where I could get more close to fellow veterans around me,” adding, “In fact, I’m worried about the remaining juniors. I hope they endure well and we can meet again in society healthily. I appreciate the ARMY for waiting. I’ll come back and try to shine as BTS RM. Thank you to everyone who took care of and waited for me.”
