K-pop idol group BTS members RM and V have been discharged from the military on June 10 ahead of their 12th debut anniversary. 

RM and V appeared before the media together at the Sinbuk-eup Sports Park soccer field in Yulmun-ri, Sinbuk-eup, Chuncheon, Gangwon Province.

"After coming to the military, I spent time thinking and getting my body and mind back together. I want to run to ARMY as soon as possible. I want to tell them that I am truly grateful for waiting. Please wait just a little longer and I will return with a wonderful stage," said V, Korean media reported. 

He added, "There are still officers and warriors in our unit who took good care of us. I hope they don't get hurt, train safely, and are discharged safely. I'm really grateful. I will go out into society and work hard to live as a good person."

RM and V enlisted on Dec. 11, 2023 and served in the Korean Army for 18 months.
