In a poignant moment for BTS and their global ARMY, RM and V officially commenced their mandatory military service at the Nonsan training centre. With the duo opting for a low-key entrance to minimize disruption for other enlistees, fans stepped up by placing large bus advertisements at the training centre's entrance to bid farewell uniquely and touchingly.
While RM and V initiated their service, anticipation builds for the impending enlistment of Jimin and Jungkook on December 12, marking the enlistment of all seven BTS members.
The group, known for their unity, reassured fans that they would reunite after completing their 18-month military service, with the discharge slated for June 2025.
In a show of camaraderie, BTS member Jin shared a pre-enlistment photo featuring RM and V. His Instagram caption, expressing care and safety wishes, reflects the brotherhood that binds the members beyond the stage.
As the remaining four members prepare to embark on their military journeys in South Korea, recent group photos surfaced on BTS's X account, capturing the collective spirit ahead of V and RM's enlistment. The group's official message, "Have a nice trip (💜). Fighting (💜)," echoed the sentiment of ARMYs worldwide as they brace for a hiatus in BTS group performances until 2025.
Adding a personal touch, Jin shared an endearing photo on Instagram, playfully addressing RM and V as "my babies" while urging them to stay safe. The imagery of unity and support continues as the other BTS members, including Jimin and Jungkook, gather to accompany RM and V on their enlistment day.
The temporary farewell marks a significant chapter for BTS and their fans, who eagerly await the eventual reunion of this global phenomenon. As the group takes a hiatus from the spotlight, the unwavering support from ARMYs and the visible bond among the members demonstrate that BTS's journey, both on and off the stage, remains a collective adventure cherished by millions worldwide.
