BTS Leader RM Sparks Global Frenzy With Countdown To Military Discharge: ‘D-30’
With only a month left until the members complete their military duties, BTS' RM posted a simple yet impactful update on his Instagram story.
In a cryptic but thrilling Instagram Stories post, BTS frontman RM announced the last 30 days of his required military duty, sparking a surge of excitement among the group's international fan base, ARMY. The K-pop star's May 11 post showed a cartoon brown bear carrying a sign that said, "D-30," designating June 10 as the day that RM and fellow member V will formally finish their enlistment.
Fans Can't Contain Their Excitement
Fans flooded social media networks with countdown threads after RM's post caused a stir. A fan wrote, "The thought of finally seeing u in just 30 days is overwhelming a free man, back to ur comforts, ur studio, free to go wherever ur heart moves you. U must be feeling giddy yourself." Another one said, "30 days until our Joonie is free!!!"

BTS has been officially off from group activities since December 2022, as each member completed their military service requirements, which are a legal requirement for all physically fit males in South Korea. In April 2023, Jin enlisted first, followed by J-Hope. Since then, both have finished their service and started working on their own projects as they wait for the other members to come back.
