BTS RM and V become elite trainees... Completion of new recruit training

BTS RM and V completed their training as elite trainees at the Army Training Center.

On the 16th, videos and photos of RM and V's recruit training completion ceremony were released through social media.

RM posted several photos on his SNS with the phrase “Loyalty!” The photo shows RM in military uniform saluting with V. In addition, RM also unveiled a certificate that reads 'Best Trainee'.

Previously, RM and V entered the Army Training Center in Nonsan, South Chungcheong Province on December 11 last year. Based on the elite trainees at the Nonsan Army Training Center where they were trained, they can do more than 86 push-ups in 2 minutes, more than 72 push-ups in 2 minutes, run 1.5 km within 5 minutes 28 seconds, run 3 km within 12 minutes 30 seconds, and shoot 20 zero points. You must meet the requirements of 16 or more of the feet.

On the 15th, Big Hit Music, the agency, requested that gifts be refrained, saying, "Thanks to the warm consideration and support of fans last December, BTS RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook are about to complete recruit training after enlistment," and added, "Due to congestion at the site, “To prevent safety accidents, we ask that fans refrain from visiting the site, and encourage BTS only with their hearts.”

Meanwhile, all members of BTS are currently performing military service. Jin enlisted in December 2022, and J-Hope enlisted in April last year. Suga is currently serving as a social worker. RM and V entered the Nonsan Training Center in South Chungcheong Province on the 11th of last month, and Jimin and Jungkook entered the 5th Division Recruit Training Center in Yeoncheon, Gyeonggi Province the very next day, on the 12th. They plan to continue their activities as a complete group in 2025.
