Just last month, professional trainer Choi Hanjin posted about working with the duo (along with BTS's Jungkook), praising their quiet focus and incredible strength. 'They're strong, calm, and work hard,' he wrote. Based on these latest pics, that discipline is definitely showing. V and RM's military countdown officially over As of now, V is spending his final day in the military. He enlisted on December 11, 2023, and served as part of the Special Duty Team under the Capital Defense Command, a unit known for handling elite security and protocol missions. Fans have been counting the days ever since—and it looks like V was counting too. RM, BTS's leader, will also be discharged tomorrow, on June 11. He served in the Army's 15th Infantry Division, where he was reportedly an exemplary soldier, even selected as a platoon leader during training. Jimin and Jungkook will follow on the same day, while Suga—who has been serving as a public service worker due to health reasons, is set to complete his duties later this month. Korea goes purple Back home, South Korea is getting ready to welcome the boys with open arms. Cities are lighting up monuments and buildings in purple.
