'BTS' RM (29, real name Kim Nam-joon) and V (27, real name Kim Tae-hyung) enlisted today (11th).

RM and V entered the Nonsan Training Center in Chungnam on this day. After undergoing basic military training, they will begin their active duty in the army. V applied for the Special Warfare Unit of the Capital Defense Command.

The area around the enlistment site was filled with reporters and a small number of fans. RM and V arrived at the training center in a black minivan. There were no separate events.

On this day, V conveyed his last message to the ARMY (fandom) on Weverse (fan community platform). He expressed regret, saying, "I think I'll miss you too much."

V said, "I am sad that I won't be able to send happy memories to ARMY for a while," and added, "That's the only thing I'm not okay with. Not being able to see ARMY is the hardest part."

He continued, "I will take care of my health and return after 18 months," and wrote, "If ARMY takes care of their health and finds happiness every day, I will appear."

He hinted at preparing content during the hiatus, stating, "I've prepared various things in 18 months," and expressed affection, saying, "Let's come back with precious memories. I really miss you and love you."

RM greeted fans the day before through Weverse. He expressed his thoughts ahead of enlistment, saying, "I was very happy to live as BTS for the past 10 years."

He said, "Our time, love, and sincerity tell us about our future," and wished for everyone to return with a full heart and a brighter smile.

He concluded by saying, "The end is another beginning," and expressed his belief that this period will be a new era of unfamiliarity, inspiration, and learning for everyone.

Meanwhile, Jimin and Jungkook will enlist the following day. Jin enlisted in December last year, J-Hope in April, and Suga started his military service in September after receiving a social service worker verdict.

With this, all BTS members are fulfilling their military duties. The complete lineup of RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook is expected to be seen after their discharge, scheduled for June 2025.
