(Add comments from Band Members V and Rm, Background on BTS and its members of paragraph 2 and beyond) Seoul, June 10 (Reuters) -K -Pop Supergroup BTS members RM and V was discharged from the South Korean Army on Tuesday after the mandatory service returned later this month. The two members in their army uniforms, cheering by dozens of fans near the military base, greeted the crowd and said they would soon return to act. “For all the Armys waiting for us in the Army, I want to say that I am truly, truly grateful. Just wait a little longer and we will return with a very pleasant performance,” V said before fans and media. BTS, known as Army, has a global fank club with millions of loyal followers. Two other tire mates, Jin and J-Hope, were fired from the military earlier and performed solo and appeared on various shows. Jimin, Jung Kook and Suga are planning to apply their military service as late as June 21, the reports in the media say. The global recognized K-pop icon BTS has not released a group project since 2022 and its members hope for the reunion. “After pursuing our own small businesses, we are coming together again, and I love us,” J-Hope told a magazine in December. The entertainment group Hybe, which runs BTS, is planning a huge event called BTS Festa this week for fans to celebrate the 12th anniversary of the group. It is not clear whether the members will arrive, but Jin attended last year. RM held a flower cake for their discharge from the army, saying he wants to act most. “(Members) would feel the same, but I want to act most. I will work hard to make an album soon and get back on stage,” RM said after playing the Sax for the crowd. (Reporting by Jack Kim and Ju-Min Park; Editing by Jacqueline Wong and Sonali Paul)
