Recently, RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook were discharged from the military after 18 months of military service. BTS has gradually completed the reunion lineup as SUGA is also expected to complete his alternative military service this week.
The members' comeback this year has made fans even happier as it coincides with BTS's 12th debut anniversary. ARMYs welcomed FESTA during j-hope's encore concert with joy when the 7 members appeared together, ending the quiet period of hiatus for the past 2 years.
But even after leaving the barracks, BTS members still left an impression with their mark on their military service, which was warmly supported by loyal fans.
According to a report by the popular кσяєαn military app - Goondori, RM, V, Jimin, Jungkook and SUGA all made it into the top 10 'Most Popular Celebrities' on the app.
Goondori is a military service tracking tool widely used by sol∂ιєrs in South кσяєα. It also allows fans to send messages of support to enlisted personnel, including public figures such as celebrities, athletes, and creators.
During the 18 months of mandatory military service for the enlisted members, fans from all over the world expressed their boundless love, bringing RM, SUGA, Jimin, and Jungkook to positions 6, 5, 3, and 2 in the Total Rank section, respectively. In particular, V climbed to the top of Goondori's all-time ranking, becoming the most loved кσяєαn celebrity to have ever enlisted.
As of June 9, the day before his official discharge, V had received over 4.65 million messages of support on the app—an unprecedented record. This made him the first and only celebrity—among idols, actors, athletes, and creators—to surpαѕѕ 3 million messages, with his final total soaring to over 4.6 million.
During his military service, V served in elite Counter-Terrorism Unit, aka Special Duty Team (SDT) of the Ssangyong Military Police Force, where he was promoted to the rank of Sergeant. His disciplined approach and positive attitude towards his mandatory duties earned him praise from both his peers and superiors.
On the other hand, the intense love and devotion from their fans helped BTS members complete their military service with flying colors. ARMYs also cemented their status as a beloved and iconic figure both in and out of uniform.
After completing their military service, the public around the world is focusing all their attention on the next legendary chapter that BTS will write, which is expected to be even more explosively successful.
