Chuncheon, South Korea: Two members of K-pop supergroup BTS were released from South Korea's mandatory military service on Tuesday and announced they wanted to start performing again "as soon as possible", prompting a fan frenzy.
BTS, South Korea's most lucrative musical act, has been on a hiatus since 2022 while its seven members complete their military service.
Hundreds of fans gathered at a site near the two army bases where band leader RM -- recently named "Favorite K-pop Artist" at the American Music Awards -- and singer V were separately discharged.
Cheers broke out as they stepped out of different vehicles and hugged, with RM playing a quick song on the saxophone as V stood next to him smiling, holding bunches of flowers.
"What we want most right now is to perform again," RM, still wearing his army uniform, told reporters and fans after his discharge.
