K-pop stars RM and V were met by around 200 jubilant fans from all over the world who had made their way to the military base in Chuncheon, South Korea to receive their heroes as they stepped out of the gates. The artists have completed their mandatory military service after enlisting in December 2023.
We most of all want to be back on stage, says RM.
All South Korean men between 18 and 25 must do military service and no exception has been made for the seven members of BTS who have had to put their career on hold for a life in uniform, despite being the most popular band in the K-pop genre.
The group has millions of fans all over the world. And now the reunion is getting closer.
Two of the members are already done, two more will be discharged on Wednesday and the seventh member, Suga, will become a civilian again on June 21. BTS plans to hold a big reunion sometime during the year.
We are working on a new album and hope to be able to make a comeback on stage as soon as possible, says RM.
