‘I'm discharging. The End': BTS leader RM aka Kim Namjoon completes his military service — ARMYs say 'the war is over finally'
BTS leader Kim Namjoon, aka RM, is returning to civilian life, and he shared one final post from his military chapter — a black-and-white photo strip in uniform that had fans jumping with joy. Those who've followed his journey over the past 18 months would know how much he has waited for this day. Namjoon had not been subtle about counting down the days to his discharge, just like ARMYs, and now that day has finally arrived.
BTS' RM ends his military service with one last post
Just hours before the clock strikes midnight on June 10 (KST), RM officially updated fans about his mandatory military service — and he marked the moment in true Namjoon fashion. Taking to Instagram, RM shared a final Story update that has ARMYs around the world getting emotional.
The post featured a black-and-white photo booth strip of him in uniform, striking playful poses — from pointing finger guns and giving salutes to stretching out his arms and bowing his head softly. Right in the middle were the words in Hangul: '전역합니다. 끝.' which translates to 'I'm discharging. The end.'
ARMYs celebrate Namjoon's discharge
ARMYs celebrated the moment with RM, sharing messages and nostalgic posts across X to welcome him back.
One fan wrote, "This pic screams happiness and freedom loudly," while another mentioned, "He's been ready for this day since the day he enlisted tbh." A third added, "The war is over. Finally, you're free from this s**t."

BTS reunion inching closer
RM isn't the only one discharged on June 10. V, who enlisted on the same day, also officially completes his service today. Jimin and Jungkook will follow tomorrow, on June 11, and SUGA will wrap up his duties later this month. For the first time in over a year, BTS is on the brink of reuniting as seven.
Back when he enlisted, Namjoon wrote, 'I'll return after growing stronger and healthier, both in body and mind.' And now, as fans welcome him back, that promise feels fulfilled.
