"Please wait just a little longer and we will return with a really cool performance," V told fans and media in Chuncheon City on Tuesday.

K-pop supergroup BTS members RM and V were discharged from the South Korean military on Tuesday after mandatory service, as fans were counting down to the band's comeback with more members finishing their national duty later this month.

The two artists enlisted in December 2023, with RM serving in the Army's military band and V assigned to a special mission unit under the military police. Their discharge follows that of Jin and J-Hope, who completed their service in June and October last year, respectively.
