A day earlier, RM and V each saluted upon their release in Chuncheon City as about 200 fans, some of whom traveled from Mexico, Turkey and Brazil, cheered.

Jin, the oldest member of the K-pop supergroup, was discharged from the army in June 2024. J-Hope was discharged in October.

The seventh member, Suga, is fulfilling his duty as a social service agent, an alternative to military service.

The seven BTS members plan to reunite as a group sometime in 2025.

Anaesi, a fan from Portugal, displayed a colorful tattoo featuring a golden shield emblazoned with “ARMY,” along with BTS members’ names in Korean.

She said the group “saved” her from depression. “So for me BTS is my angel,” she said.
