On this day, fans on SNS could not help but express their emotions when witnessing the graduation moment of BTS's two rookies, RM and V. They completed their 5 weeks of basic training with excellent achievements. excellent.
Not only that, a video recorded at the ceremony showed that RM was the representative of the rookies expressing his feelings. When sharing in front of the entire company, RM did not hesitate to express his anxiety before enlisting and his feelings after graduating from the rookie training course.
Just like what RM showed as the leader of BTS, his speaking talent and words in his speech made fans admire:
On January 16, the Nonsan Training Center where 2 members of BTS were serving as recruits held a graduation ceremony for the new recruits. The ceremony was solemn and attended by the families of the new recruits. That's why there are many videos recording V and RM at the Training Center shared on SNS.
It is known that RM and V graduated as elite rookies and received certificates of merit as well as a short vacation. Only 6 out of hundreds of military trainees received this title and 2 of them were members of BTS, showing how seriously and how hard they worked during their time in the army.
Obviously, enlisting in the army was not an easy process for both Kpop superstars. RM himself also honestly expressed his pre-enlistment worries in a pre-recorded and replayed speech at the Nonsan Training Center's graduation ceremony. RM was the one who represented other recruits to share his feelings during his time serving at this barracks.
He frankly mentioned: "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."
But contrary to those worries, RM's first few weeks of enlistment were very good. He shared: "Through mental strength education, I have realized the necessity of the military and the necessity of basic military training in кσяєα, a divided and ceas3fire country. There were many experiences that I would not have had without an army training center. In particular, the night march a few days ago is the most memorable. As I marched with my comrades at night, I could see the stars and cheer together when I was having a hard time, and I could feel what comradeship I heard only in words."
Finally, he thanked the squad leaders and expressed his pride as a sol∂ιєr: "Thanks to the great executives and squad leaders, I was able to complete many unfamiliar training sessions in a rewarding and fun way. Naturally, I was able to have meaning and reward in my military life. Lastly, I would like to say that a world like this would be ideal, where not everyone needs to learn how to sho0t. However, 70 years of peace in the Republic of кσяєα is possible because of the noble sacrifices, efforts, and dedication of these people. I will do my best for the rest of my military life." (translation from @nightstar1201)
RM's every word touched fans, showing how strong a sol∂ιєr he truly is. ARMYs are also happy to know that he or V has adapted well to military life and has had valuable experiences during this time.
