On January 16, RM and V completed the training completion ceremony at the Army Training Center and received the title of elite recruit. The two members' parents were also present to attend their graduation ceremony.
However, before that there were only videos recording the moment V's parents were present at the ceremony. It wasn't until today that a rare video recording the moment RM stood with his parents when receiving the elite title was shared. Fans were very happy to see the pride on his parents' faces.
Below are rare moments that you cannot miss after 1 month of RM's enlistment:
After 5 weeks of basic military training, RM and V were promoted to private sol∂ιєrs on this day. Not only that, they are also 2 of only 6 rookies among 200 rookies to be honored as elite rookies. Those selected as 'elite trainees' stood on the podium during the graduation ceremony, receiving certificates of merit and a day off as rewards.
Fans couldn't help but feel emotional when they witnessed V smiling happily next to his parents, holding a certificate of merit in his hand. His parents couldn't hide the pride on their faces when they saw their son again after more than a month of enlistment with outstanding achievements.
Meanwhile, it's hard to see pictures of RM with his parents on this special day. Fans have been looking forward to a photo or video being posted sharing a similar happy moment of the Kim family. But it wasn't until today that a photo of the BTS leader with his parents was revealed.
In the photo, RM's parents smiled brightly, standing next to their son in military uniform and holding a certificate of merit from the unit head. Only parents of elite rookies like V or RM are allowed to take pictures with their sons on the honor podium of such a ceremony. Surely his parents, as well as V's parents, feel very proud of his achievements.
1 month ago, also at this unit, RM's parents saw him off to join the army. Thinking back to that time, BTS's leader confessed that he was very worried about enlisting in the army in his 30s: "I have delayed enlisting for a long time. And I joined the military while I was still quite old, it's true that many things were scary and concerning. Also, because I joined the military late, most of the colleagues living with me were young almost 10 years younger than me."
It's so sweet that they can meet each other again after such a long time and have so much good news. Fans expressed their love for this shared precious moment:
