The two enlisted in the South Korean army ahead of Jimin and Jungkook. A website called The Camp,known for sharing glimpses of soldiers in service has released a series of photos featuring V and RM posing with their fellow service members in their unit.

A few photos that were released showed both the singers posing alongside their respective military units. Another batch of group photos of the recruits was released by the Nonsan Training Center on January 4. In the photos, V can be seen wearing a platoon leader tag. In recent photos that have surfaced, RM is the one who stands out with the blue tag slung over his shoulder.

What does the Blue tag in the South Korean military represent?

In the South Korean army, the coveted "blue tag" marks a soldier as elite, honed to exceptional skill in fields like marksmanship and fitness. Earning this tag in the South Korean military is a badge of honour, awarded to the most skilled troops who typically undergo rigorous training to earn such a tag.

The Camp is a South Korean military app that initially refrained from featuring BTS members' pictures due to an IP dispute with HYBE. But with its new set of photos, it seems to have overcome that hurdle. The recent photos from The Camp reveal V and RM alongside other service members.
