Before this, V was also in the news after he earned the prestigious title of ‘Elite Trainee’ within the ’27th Training Regiment.’ This recognition came as a result of his exceptional skills showcased during a demanding five-week basic training. This notable recognition took place on January 16, when Taehyung and RM emerged as two of the six ‘elite trainees’ chosen from a pool of 200 participants in their regiment.

In addition to V’s journey, other BTS members, Jimin and Jungkook also completed their basic military training at the 5th Division Recruit Training Center on January 17. While V has commenced his Special Duty Team training, Jimin and Jungkook have reportedly joined member Jin at the 5th Infantry Division.

Jin’s military service is scheduled to conclude in June, and J-Hope is expected to return in October 2024.

Meanwhile, SUGA fulfils his role as a social worker under special duties.

The anticipation builds as fans look forward to the full group return of BTS in the later months of 2025, uniting all the members after their military service commitments are complete.
