RM and V greeted fans with salutes and a saxophone performance after being discharged on Tuesday. V asked fans to "wait just a little longer" for BTS to reunite.

All seven members are set to finish their military service by the end of this month and their agency Hybe had hinted at a reunion. They went on hiatus in 2022 at the height of their global fame.

Hundreds of fans, some whom flew in from overseas, gathered in front of Hybe's headquarters in central Seoul to celebrate RM's and V's return on Tuesday.

Many of them were dressed in purple, BTS' signature colour, and carried large banners and photographs of the two K-pop idols.
