BTS' RM, V to enlist in Army SEOUL, Dec. 11 (Yonhap) -- RM and V of K-pop supergroup BTS will begin their mandatory military service Monday. When two more members -- Jimin and Jungkook -- enlist Tuesday, all seven members of the band will be carrying out their military duty. Three older band members are already in service, with Jin, the oldest, being the first to join last December. Jin and J-Hope are performing active duty while Suga is serving as a social service agent, an alternative form of military service in the country. "I was really happy to live as a BTS member over the past 10 years," RM said on Weverse, a K-pop fan community platform, on Sunday. He said he is both "afraid and scared," but expressed hope to learn lessons and get new inspiration from the new experience. "I always wanted to be a person who is by your side even when I am not there," RM said. "Goodbye for now." V also expressed his anticipation during a Weverse livestream. "I'm excited," he said. "Even though those I'll be going to the military with may be younger than me, I think I'll be able to learn new things by talking to them." The four members and their agency, BigHit Music, have repeatedly asked fans not to visit Army boot camps on the day the members turn up as there would be no separate official events. In South Korea, all able-bodied men are required to serve in the military for at least 18 months. The four are scheduled to be discharged from the service in June 2025. Both the band and the agency were hoping to resume activities as a full group around that year. 방탄소년단 RM, 뷔 군입대 방탄소년단(BTS) 멤버 RM과 뷔가오늘(11일) 충남 논산훈련소에 동반 입소합니다. 두 사람은 이곳에서 기초 군사 훈련을 받은 후, 현역으로 육군 복무를 시작합니다. 내일(12일)은 또다른 멤버 지민과 정국이 입대할 예정이며, 내일 멤버들이 입소하게 되면 방탄소년단 멤버 전원이 병역의 의무를 이행하게 됩니다. 맏형 진은 지난해 12월, 제이홉은 올해 4월 각각 입대했고 슈가는 지난 9월부터 사회복무요원으로 근무중입니다 군 복무를 모두 마친 방탄소년단의 완전체 활동은 2025년 하반기로 예상됩니다. #BTS #RM #V #입대현장
