NIN365 Desk, Kolkata : In the midst of countless hearts weighed down by disappointment, there shines a spark of joy. This profound happiness is embraced by the devoted fans of BTS, known as the ‘ARMY.’ After a prolonged period of anticipation, the two BTS members, RM and V, have emerged with a revelation. Following the completion of their five-week training, both artists unveiled images of themselves donned in military uniforms, a sight that captivated fans worldwide. Kim Namjoon, the group leader, shared these pictures on his Instagram, featuring not only RM but also V, further igniting the enthusiasm of the BTS ARMY.
While BTS has been conquering the global music scene in recent years, especially in South Korea, their popularity transcends borders, captivating audiences worldwide. Their seven members, each with unique talents, have amassed a colossal fanbase known as the ‘ARMY.’ However, December brought a wave of melancholy for ARMY members as all seven BTS members enlisted in the military. Not for a hiatus in their musical careers, but as mandatory service personnel according to South Korean regulations. In 2022, Jin and J-Hope entered military service, and by the middle of 2023, another BTS member, Suga, joined them. The remaining four members, Kim Namjoon, Jimin, V, and Jungkook, followed suit in December, marking a significant juncture for the globally adored group.

On Tuesday, BTS member RM shared a series of photos on Instagram, featuring himself and V adorned in military attire. The images depicted them in salutes, showcasing their commitment to their new roles. The caption written in Korean by Kim Namjoon translates to “Loyalty,” conveying a sense of dedication and gratitude.
While the news brought mixed emotions to ARMY members, there was reassurance from Big Hit Music, stating, “BTS members RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook’s enlistment in the military and the overwhelming support you’ve shown from that time – thank you. They will soon take on responsibilities in their training camps.” The acknowledgment hinted at the group members assuming duties in various military sectors after completing their five-week basic army training.
As BTS continues to make waves globally, their presence in the military emphasizes the commitment of South Korean citizens to obligatory national service. According to South Korean regulations, all physically capable males aged 18 to 28 must undergo mandatory military service.
This significant development in BTS’s journey is met with both pride and sadness by the ARMY. The global K-pop sensation is not just about music but reflects the intertwined connection between the artists and their fans, emphasizing loyalty, dedication, and shared experiences. As BTS members transition into their new roles in the military, the ARMY stands united in supporting them, eagerly awaiting their return and the next chapter in the remarkable story of BTS.
