ARMY celebrates as BTS's RM and V reunite post-military service
The moment has finally arrived — BTS’s RM and V are officially discharged from military service.
Videos from the scene are already going viral. RM, ever the showman, brought his saxophone to the event, playing it with flair while standing beside V, who held a bouquet of flowers. True to form, RM’s sense of humour was on full display as he jokingly mimicked a ‘mic drop’ moment while greeting fans. The boys even pretended to do a 'skit' and introduce themselves to each other. However, fans noticed that RM was holding back his tearful emotions. Some fans said that his hand was shaking slightly, so V came to comfort him too.
Needless to say, the crowd was electric — cheering, yelling, and shedding happy tears. One fan wrote, “I actually think Namjoon is the most hysterical person on the planet, bringing his saxophone to his own discharge event.” A comeback that fans had been waiting for, since 2023.
After the discharge, the two came to the Hybe building, and appeared on Weverse Live, discussing their future plans. RM humbly apologised for not being able to write more songs during his time in the military, but promises that in time, if fans wait a little more, he will be ready with songs. Meanwhile, Jin also gatecrashed the Live, and brought himself 'as a gift'. Moreover, RM and V promised that they would return to the stage soon, and thanked fans for waiting.
Later RM came live, thanked fans again and also mentioned that he had indeed played the Conan tune on the saxophone. "I wanted to make you laugh. People often see me in that serious way, doing UN speeches. But I wanted to make you laugh. If you laughed, that's great."
