    RM and V of the group BTS (BTS) will join the active military today (11th). RM and V will enter the Nonsan Army Training Center in Chungcheongnam-do on the 11th to undergo basic military training and fulfill their military duties. The day before he joined the military, RM said on the fan communication platform Weverse, "I believe this will be a strange and new time for inspiration and learning for all of us." "Seok-jin (Jin) and Hoseok (J-Hope) must have been much harder than us," he said, recalling the members who joined the military first. RM said, "Hello for a while," and said, "Anytime, anywhere, we will be us! Let's meet in the future." V posted a short haircut on his SNS account. "I was Romang. Shaving my hair and sunglasses. I wanted to try it someday, but that's great," V said. After receiving basic military training, V joined the special commission stage of the Army Capital Defense Command. The two also asked the members and the agency to refrain from visiting the training center on the day of enlistment. Jimin and Jungkook will also join the Army on the 12th. The two will reportedly enter the 5th Division boot camp, where Jin is an assistant. As a result, the four members are scheduled to be discharged from the military in June 2025. Jin first joined the military in December last year, and J-Hope also joined the military in April this year. Suga has been diagnosed as a social service worker since September due to a dislocated shoulder humerus and has been serving alternatively.

  • I'm looking forward to 2025's "Military Stone" BTS...Jungkook joins the army in December → RM, Jimin, and V are going too
    BTS will begin preparing for the whole body in 2025. While Jin, J-Hope, and Suga are currently serving in the military, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have entered the military process. It is highly likely that he will join the military as early as this year or early next year On the 22nd, his agency Big Hit Music announced, "RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are preparing to fulfill their military service obligations by starting the process of fulfilling their military service obligations." Starting with the enlistment of the eldest brother Jin in December last year, J-Hope in April and Suga in September are also fulfilling their military service obligations. Since then, RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook have been doing individual activities. However, as the four of them also began to prepare for the military service, BTS predicted a military white flag. Since then, the complete appearance of BTS is expected to be seen in the second half of 2025. In the midst of this, Jungkook said through Weverse, "We will start a new journey in December. I'm leaving you for a while to serve in the military," he said, announcing the news of his enlistment in the military. "As I deliver this news, I feel heavy on one side of my heart, and on the other hand, my heart warms up as I recall precious memories with ARMY," Jungkook said, expressing his affection for his fans, "Every moment I've spent with you so far has been the brightest time of my life." "It is prudent to tell you to wait recklessly while serving in the military," he said. "A year and a half is a long time." So I can't say anything selfish, but after I come back, I will stand on stage with more growth where I always am," he promised his fans. In the meantime, the members of the BTS have expressed their longing and expectation for full activities. In an interview with Apple Music on the 10th, Jungkook said, "There were times when I missed my solo album while preparing and working on it. Whenever I was in the waiting room, standing on stage alone, or eating with the staff, I felt the empty seats of the members who were with me." In the meantime, he said, "I think BTS' synergy in 2025 will be enormous. I'm really looking forward to it," he said. Suga said on YouTube channel "BANGTANTV"'s "Schuta" on the 30th of last month, "I'm waiting for the whole body." The last performance as a team was in October last year. I can't wait to do it again. I really want to get together and do it together in 2025," he said. Jimin responded, "I'm waiting for you." We can't wait to get together," he said. Unfortunately, BTS left the fans for a while. However, as he returns to the fans' side starting with Jin in June next year, expectations and support poured out for BTS, which will unite again in 2025 and show great synergy.

  • Seventeen, Earthshaking Speech at UNESCO Headquarters "Too Young to Give Up... Will Keep Moving Forward"
    The group Seventeen made history as the first K-pop artists to take the stage at the UNESCO headquarters. On the 14th in Paris, France, at the main hall of the UNESCO headquarters, Seventeen delivered a speech and performance at the 13th UNESCO Youth Forum. Seventeen became the first K-pop artist to be allocated an entire session during the UNESCO General Assembly, conducting a session for approximately one hour. On this day, Seventeen spoke on the theme of "Youth Solidarity and Education Changing the Future of Youth and the Earth." The member who began the speech first, Seungkwan, mentioned his hometown, Jeju Island, stating, "I grew up with my own dreams on this beautiful island, although it's a faraway island from the capital, Seoul. Dreaming of a bigger world and the dream of becoming a K-pop star, performing in front of countless fans someday." He expressed his overwhelming emotions by saying, "The little boy who dreamed of the future on the island designated as a UNESCO World Natural Heritage site is now standing at the UNESCO headquarters today." Continuing, member Jun delivered his speech in Chinese, mentioning the other members, "We are each other's teachers. We practice together, create together, and have become better individuals gradually. Today, Seventeen is standing here because we faced difficult situations and didn't give up. The 13 of us have helped each other, step by step, to come this far, and we will continue to move forward," expressing their determination. Woozi reflected on the journey to this day, saying, "There were people who thought Seventeen would fail in the early days, but today, I think we are here because we didn't give up. We were too young to be discouraged. Success didn't come quickly, but the time spent burning with passion with the members was always enjoyable. The members were always cheerful, never losing their laughter in any situation. Our practice room was always filled with positive words like 'fighting' and 'a little more.' Believing that focusing on the cheerful voices of the members rather than the negative external words, I became more convinced that things would go well with these friends," mentioning each member's name with confidence. In the fall of 2016, Mingyu revealed an episode where, after receiving his first settlement, he donated 13 goats to children in Tanzania, Africa. Mingyu received a letter from the children, and he shared, "The message said, 'I will raise the goats well for my dreams.' This message stayed with us for a long time. It reminded us of the journey we've been on for our dreams. Sharing dreams is, in essence, sharing positivity and hope." Joshua promised to actively participate as a UNESCO ambassador to raise awareness about the importance of education in the current era. Vernon continued by reading the lyrics of Seventeen's songs. In the subsequent performance, Seventeen selected a total of five songs, including "World," "Darling," "Headliner," "Music's God," and "Let's Go Together," eliciting a passionate response from the audience.
