RM, whose real name is Kim Nam-joon, recently shared his anticipation for civilian life with a screenshot from a military service tracking app that read, 'Late life, you have 7 days to be discharged!" V (Kim Tae-hyung) also took to social media, posting a countdown that read, 'Sgt. Elio D-9."
Both RM and V have served diligently, earning recognition early on. They were selected as 'Choi Jeong-yee Trainers" during boot camp and were promoted to sergeant ahead of schedule due to their conduct.
Their discharge will be followed closely by fellow members Jimin and Jungkook, who are expected to complete their military service on June 11. Suga, who is serving as a social service agent due to medical conditions, will be released on June 21. Jin, the eldest member, was the first to enlist and is expected to rejoin the group soon.
To mark BTS' debut anniversary, the '2025 BTS Festa" will take place on June 13 at KINTEX in Goyang. While fan anticipation is high, the agency has not yet confirmed whether all members will attend. On the same day, J-Hope will hold a special solo encore performance at Goyang Stadium, adding to the celebratory mood.
The long-awaited return of BTS as a complete group seems just around the corner.

He is the richest among the septet, all thanks to his group and solo endeavours in the music industry as well as brand campaigns with luxury brands like Celine and Cartier. BTS V's Sources Of Income V's multi-million dollar net worth is the result of his income from multiple sources, but most of it is because of his music. He has made a name for himself not only as a part of BTS but also as a solo artist. Right before enlisting in the military, V released his first solo album, Layover, in September 2023. It became a big hit, reaching No. 2 position on the Billboard 200 chart. He also earns through multiple brand endorsements. V is the global brand ambassador for brands like Celine and Cartier. With a fan following of over 66 million on his Instagram account, he can charge anywhere from $68,000 to $810,000 (approximately Rs 58 lakh to Rs 7 crore) for one sponsored post. View this post on Instagram A post shared by V (@thv) BTS V's Properties When it comes to where he lives, V did not stop himself from splurging on the property. Previously, the 29-year-old lived in the same building in Hannam, the Hill complex in Seoul, as his other bandmates. After their lease ended, all of them moved to different localities. In 2019, V bought his own luxurious place at the SK Apelbaum Complex in Gangnam-gu. He paid $4.55 million (roughly Rs 39 crore) for his new apartment. It is around 3,000 sq. feet in size and offers a beautiful view of the Han River. BTS V's Car Collection And More V loves finer things in life.

Just like his apartment and car, V also has a finer taste in fashion. Some of the pieces in his wardrobe include a Gucci corduroy jacket worth $7,580 (Rs 6.4 lakh). He also owns a Bottega Veneta jacket priced at $5,300 (Rs 4.5 lakh), and a Gucci tweed vest for $4,200 (Rs 3.5 lakh). Even his shoes are high-end. V owns a pair of Nike Air Jordan 1 Golf shoes worth $1,800 (Rs 1.5 lakh), Berluti leather Derbies priced at $1,660 (Rs 1.4 lakh), and Celine loafers worth $1,100 (Rs 94,000).
