South Korea’s global music phenomenon, BTS, is one step closer to a full-group comeback following the recent military discharges of Jimin and Jungkook on June 11, 2025. They became the fifth and sixth members to complete their compulsory service—a significant milestone in the group’s two-and-a-half-year hiatus.
A Patriotic Pause for BTS
BTS paused activities across late 2022 to begin their individual 18-month military service one by one. The lineup:
- Jin (June 2024) & J-Hope (October 2024) were the first to return.
- RM and V completed theirs in early June 2025 during a dual discharge ceremony.
- Most recently, Jimin and Jungkook were officially released from active duty in Yeoncheon, Korea.
Only Suga remains, fulfilling an alternative service commitment, expected to finish by June 21, 2025.

Celebrations & Fan Reactions
Hundreds of ARMY fans gathered at Yeoncheon to welcome Jimin and Jungkook, who made emotional remarks before departing from the military:
- Jungkook admitted feeling “a bit embarrassed” being back in front of cameras after a long hiatus.
- Jimin expressed heartfelt gratitude to fans worldwide for their devoted support.
Social media buzzed with excitement—Quintero Sevilla from Mexico shared that BTS “saved” her from depression, calling them her “angel.”
“We Are Back” — A Clear Message
Hybe Entertainment marked the moment by unveiling new signage at headquarters in Seoul, declaring: “We Are Back.” This visual declaration follows weeks of discharge ceremonies, stirring anticipation for the first ensemble activity since 2022.
Meanwhile, J-Hope assured fans on Apple Music that BTS would “quickly get together” after Suga’s discharge, signaling reunion plans are well underway.
