BTS, the globally recognized K-pop band, went on a hiatus to complete their mandatory military service in 2022. Ever since their fandom, popularly known as ARMY, has been waiting for their reunion. Almost all the members of the boy band are currently enlisted in the South Korean army, with only Jin and J-Hope being the ones to be recently relieved from their duties
While the BTS reunion is still a bit far away, K-pop idol RM has addressed his military life in a new fan letter to ARMY. The Wild Flower hitmaker surprised fans with a piece of good news, “I, Kim Namjoon, am now finally a sergeant(…)Sergeant Kim !! Everyone’s been getting early promotions so I think all 4 of us are probably now sergeants.”
He continued, “I am proud but..apparently they say this is where military life actually starts hehe; Still, I’m really happy that my next promotion will be to ‘civilian’. I’m happy because I’m a sergeant.” The BTS leader also spoke candidly about his military discharge, “When I return as civilian Kim Namjoon, I have so many things that I want to tell you. Including things that are difficult to talk about right now. I think I should be able to talk about them in my own way at some point. Whenever I can’t sleep and am wandering in the night, it’s always something I think about. It’ll pass, surely. June 10 is coming.”

RM’s Post ❇️
Hello to all of you, who I love so dearly.
Have you had a good Seollal?
Did you eat some tteokguk*?
I don’t know how I got here but I’m already 32 years old in Korean age. I see myself desperately insisting that I’m 30… pic.twitter.com/wGoBu4wRic

He added, “It’s already February. About 4 months left now. And when March comes, I’ll be at the 100-day point.. As always, I will be here, working out, playing in the band, listening to music, watching movies, and learning on the weekends, preparing to go back. I hope you all stay well and healthy. I shaved my head, on the occasion of my promotion to sergeant. I’m attaching a picture. Ah, the picture is from before I shaved my head though. Anyway! I’m getting by, however I can, so don’t worry too much.”
