BTS’ leader RM, who is currently serving his mandatory military duty, made headlines when he was seen alongside South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol during a Chuseok visit to the 15th Infantry Division. Chuseok, the traditional Korean fall harvest holiday, is an important time for family and national unity, and this year, it saw a notable moment of solidarity as President Yoon visited the division to uplift the spirits of the soldiers serving on the front lines.
During his visit, President Yoon expressed his commitment to supporting the military officers, ensuring they take pride in their service to the nation. The visit, which took place at a border unit of the 15th Infantry Division, included a large group photo with around 500 military personnel. Among them was RM, the leader of BTS, currently serving with the division's military band after enlisting in December 2023.
