RM's message to fans after military discharge

Kim Namjoon (aka RM) and Kim Taehyung (aka V) greeted fans at Chuncheon, looking suave in their military uniforms. According to a video shared by Dispatch, the BTS leader shared, "Hello, I'm Kim Namjoon from the 5th Division of the Korean military. I've been discharged from the military. We've been through the shortest military span, and the times have gotten better; the pay has improved. There have been many troubling and difficult things, but we felt that a lot of people were protecting the country during our time serving."

He further said, "And thanks to those protecting us, we were able to wrap it successfully. Truthfully, I've gotten close with my father and friends, because they had already experienced military life before me. It was a precious time when I could be close to the people who've already completed their military duty. I'm worried about the training soldiers left behind me. I hope they can persevere for some time and come back in good health, so we can see each other again. I want to thank the BTS ARMY for waiting for us. Now that I'm back, I'll be back to the cool BTS' RM, so please look at us warmly. Thank you."
