"See You in the Future" — BTS RM Shares Message to Fans Before Military Enlistment

On December 10th, RM took to Weverse to say goodbye to fans ahead of his military enlistment. Through a heartfelt letter, the BTS leader said, "I was so happy to be able to live as a member of BTS for the past ten years. I've been saying this like a habit, but since the end is the beginning, I have no doubt that something else will be waiting for us afterwards."

"Seokjin and Hoseok, who had to endure before us, must have had a much tougher journey compared to us who are following them. Seeing them bravely and successfully handling it gives me even more courage. Whether it's long or short, these 18 months will be a time of new learning for us all," adding, "I'll greet you again when I return. Anytime, anywhere, let's be ourselves. See you in the future. I love you a lot. I hope this letter touches you even a little."

RM, together with V, is set to enlist on December 11th by entering Nonsan Training Center. He will serve as an active-duty soldier until his discharge on June 10, 2025.

Meanwhile, RM's letter instantly became a hot topic on South Korean online communities, with netizens commenting:

#RM's Weverse letter (direct translation from Weverse)

"Rather than the countless words that stay in my ears
Our time, love, and sincerity
It tells us what we're going to do.
l've always wanted to be with you even if you're not with me"
