A few hours ago, HYBE made the latest announcement about contract renewal with 7 BTS members. This is an important decision, directly leading to the outcome of whether BTS will maintain group activities in the future or not.
Not stopping at announcing the good news of BTS's contract renewal, HYBE continued to make fans proud and the online community admire by announcing another meaningful action. This was announced by HYBE to commemorate the 2nd anniversary of BTS continuing to re-sign with the company, in addition to being grateful for the companionship of BTS and ARMYs.
Fans are currently celebrating this emotional news:
As all fans know, maintaining the contracts of all members at one management company is the biggest chance for a group to continue working with 7 members. BTS is no exception!
However, at a time when BTS announced their promotion of solo activities and m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service, many people doubted that the members would continue to re-sign contracts with the company after being discharged from the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷. This is also a situation seen in many music groups after many years of operation because the members' directions are different.
But fortunately, most recently, HYBE announced that: "With the renewal of their contracts, we hope will be able to share with everyone a full group promotional period for BTS in 2025. HYBE and вιg нιт Music will do everything we can to support and further improve BTS’s status."
Based on the resolution of this board of directors, вιg нιт Music will in turn sign exclusive contracts with RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook depending on their status. For example, Jin, j-hope and SUGA who are enlisting will start signing contracts in 2025 after being discharged from the army. It is known that all members have a clear intention to renew the contract and only the procedural issue remains.
After personally revealing BTS's 'Pop Artist Exclusive Contract' with вιg нιт Music, HYBE also announced another act of humanity. The company will donate 1 billion won to the ḳöŕệän Committee for UNICEF as a tribute to BTS and their fandom 'ARMY'. This is done through the 'LOVE MYSELF' campaign launched by BTS since 2017.
This is clearly an act of added joy for fans in a context where both BTS and ARMY are placing a lot of faith in reuniting in 2025. Even RM could not contain his joy when immediately posted on Instagram with the phrase "bts.bigḧïẗofficial #ARMY 2025" to celebrate this news.
Meanwhile, fans couldn't be more proud of BTS as the new contracts of all 7 members further increase their confidence in the group's return:
- They are staying for US
- How can you not love them? How?!!!
- Wow! They are the best people
- we gonna be opening the time capsule together!
- soo lucky to have Bangtan in my life

- I'm crying out of happiness. BTS love us so much. ARMY FOREVER BANGTAN FOREVER. Let's meet in 2025
- the 1 billion won is the part that gets me their hearts are so big
Previously, when Hive president Bang Si-hyuk was asked about whether to extend their second contract at the Kwanhoon Forum, he made a calm statement: "I’m careful to speak because contract negotiations with a group as big as BTS might have consequences in society. When it comes to their m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ issue, I think we can solve them within the term of the contract. Anything I say beyond this is overstepping my boundaries".
Therefore, HYBE's latest statement shows that BTS and the company have reached a final agreement after a period of discussion on the contract issue. The members' consensus shows that the strength of friendship has not changed during the group's 10 years and 2 contract renewals even though they were done during difficult times.
Congratulations BTS and ARMY and look forward to a new era when BTS returns!
