On Tuesday, RM and V were discharged from the South Korean military after mandatory service. Following their discharge from their respective divisions, they headed to Chuncheon for a special event where they were warmly welcomed by fans, surrounded by cheers and applause. The event was filled with heartwarming moments, and one that stole the show was when RM and V recreated viral memes, bringing smiles to fans' faces on social media.
At the event, RM played the saxophone, picking the tunes of the Case Closed (Detective Conan) soundtrack for his performance. Many social media users were reminded of a meme featuring Pokémon character Squirtle playing a saxophone.
'Not Namjoon bringing the same glasses to recreate the saxophone meme,' one fan exclaimed, with another sharing, 'RM recreated this meme at his discharge... Iconic!! Welcome back RM'.
Meanwhile, BTS member V, aka Kim Taehyung, recreated another meme, Roger meme showing a wolf with his hand behind his head. 'Meme kings fr,' one wrote, and another shared, 'I swear to God BTS job is to recreate meme'.
RM and V were discharged from the South Korean military on Tuesday after mandatory service. RM and V enlisted in December 2023. They served as members of the 15th Infantry Division Military Army Band and the II Corps Special Duty Team, respectively.
"To all the ARMYs who have waited for us in the military, I want to say I am truly, truly grateful. Please wait just a little longer, and we will return with a really cool performance," V said in front of fans and media.
After RM and V, Jimin and Jungkook will also be discharged on June 11. Suga will be the last BTS member to be discharged from military service. He will be discharged on June 21.

BTS' J-Hope hangs out with Gracie Abrams, IVE at Lollapalooza, exchanges number with Justin Timberlake and wishes he did better
J-Hope led his second headliner set at Lollapalooza Berlin after being whisked in last minute in 2022 Lollapalooza Chicago following Doja Cat dropping out. His July 13, 2025, set had him performing an impressive 21 songs live with powerful performances attached to each, in line with his dancer personality. Behind-the-scenes from his prep and on the day of the event showed his mettle to conquer the stage. The star hung out with fellow performers I VE, Gracie Abrams, and Justin Timberlake for their own shows, cheering on for their success. After his own set, the BTS member who aims for perfection showed how he is never satisfied, bringing shock to fans. J-Hope goes all in at Lollapalooza Berlin 2025 In a new video shared on BANGTANTV's YouTube channel, J-Hope displayed how he goes over every detail for his performances, including numerous rounds of practice sessions. From back in South Korea, where he went over the dance, lyrics, comment bits and learned German for the locals in Berlin, then a band run-through on-site, the BTS member tried to ensure everything was perfect. Not forgetting his team, the rapper gave a subtle nod to the opening of groupmate Jin's concert, where he shouts 'challenge' and a tune plays. While his own performance was on the second day, J-Hope made sure to support fellow K-pop act IVE backstage with kind words, a reference to KPop Demon Hunters, and lots of cheers. He then hopped to Gracie Abrams' show, where they exchanged kind words and the American songwriter expressed her gratitude. One of the highlights was when he went to Justin Timberlake's set, getting impressed with it. Post his performance, the BTS member hung out with the American singer-songwriter and managed to exchange phone numbers with him. It was not without a nod to fellow teammate Jungkook who the NSYNC star had collaborated with on his solo track 3D. JT appeared more than happy to do the same with the MONA LISA singer, much to his delight. The older star jokingly threatened him with prank calls in the future, earning laughter from the room. After the end of his show, the perfectionist in J-Hope jumped out once again, as despite thousands praising his performance, the singer thought he could've done better, and was left regretful. Ask any fan in the crowd of his set, and they would disagree; it was perfect!

Cate Blanchett on ‘Squid Game' cameo: It was one of the most mysterious jobs
Los Angeles, Cate Blanchett says her surprise cameo in the final moments of "Squid Game 3" 'came out of the blue" and she had little context other than quickly learning to play the game of 'ddakji'. Cate Blanchett on 'Squid Game' cameo: It was one of the most mysterious jobs Asked whether she would like to star if there is an American version of the popular South Korean series that broke viewership records on Netflix, Blanchett told Variety, "I am wildly open to anything.' "And in a world that is so beautifully, magically created like that, for sure. They're amazing world-builders, and that series has been eaten alive. I don't think there's a corner of the globe that it hasn't touched in some way.' At the end of the series, Front Man spots an American recruiter playing ddakji with a homeless man in a back alley. They briefly acknowledge each other. Blanchett called her brief appearance, "one of the most mysterious jobs". 'Because it's such a cult series and they were shooting in L.A. of all places, everyone was on a need-to-know basis. "I got a couple of storyboards. I had to play the game very quickly. I had to practice and practice. I knew there were four or five setups that they were going to do, and I knew what they needed from every shot, and then I was given the sides. But it was one of the more mysterious jobs.' There were reports that the American remake of the series will be directed by David Fincher, who has already worked with the streamer on two other popular shows the first two episode of "House of Cards" and the two seasons of "Mindhunter". Blanchett said she does not know much. 'I don't know anything more than you do. I'm not being coy. I really don't.' However, the actor is not averse to reuniting with Fincher after 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button'. 'I mean, I'd love to work with David again. It's been ages.' Blanchett shared. Blanchett, a highly successful actress, has seen much acclaim, including Academy Award wins for Best Actress for the comedy drama 'Blue Jasmine' in 2014 and the biographical drama 'The Aviator' in 2005. She has starred in a wide range of prestigious films across genres, including 'The Talented Mr Ripley' and 'Carol'.
