The wait is almost over for BTS fans as four membersโRM, Jimin, V, and Jungkookโare set to complete their mandatory military service this week. Their agency, BigHit Music, has confirmed the discharge dates and requested fans not to visit the military bases for safety reasons.
RM and V will be discharged on June 10, 2025, while Jimin and Jungkook will follow on June 11, 2025. No special events are planned for their discharge day, as the locations have limited space and overcrowding could pose risks.
“Please note that the discharge day is reserved for military personnel only. No special events are planned on the day of RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkookโs discharge. Each location has very limited space, and overcrowding can pose safety risks.” โ BigHit Music
Fans are encouraged to show their support online instead of gathering at the bases. The agency thanked ARMYs for their patience and love during the members’ service.
Military Service Details
- RM (Kim Namjoon) enlisted on December 11, 2023, serving in the 15th Infantry Division of the South Korean Army.
