BTS members complete military service, hinting at a spectacular reunion

  • Suga, the last BTS member to complete mandatory military service, was officially discharged on June 21, 2025, marking the group's full return from enlistment duties.
  • This military service followed a legal requirement for all able-bodied South Korean men aged 18-28 to serve 18-21 months, with BTS postponing their enlistment until age 30 after a 2020 law revision allowing such delays for K-pop stars.
  • Before Suga's discharge, the six other BTS members, including Jin, J-Hope, RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook, had completed their service between June 2024 and earlier in 2025, with Suga fulfilling service as a social service agent rather than active duty.
  • Fans, known as ARMY, and others expressed strong anticipation for BTS's reunion, with Big Hit Entertainment confirming plans for the full group to reunite in 2025; an analyst forecasted their largest-ever world tour in 2026.
  • Suga's discharge was kept low-key to avoid overcrowding, reflecting concerns during the group's hiatus since 2022, and the members reunited publicly at their 12th anniversary Festa event, though details for their comeback remain unreleased.
