Last June, ARMYs seemed to have had their hearts broken at the announcement that BTS would be taking a break from group activities and instead going for the members' solo activities. Even so, after that, ARMYs and members still believe in the promise that BTS will be back soon.

But since then, there have been very few moments when the BTS members reunited with all 7 members, especially after Jin enlisted in the army. Therefore, fans always remember the time when BTS worked with 7 members.

Recently, suddenly the keyword "BTS IS BACK" made many fans wonder that BTS with 7 members has returned. But the truth behind it is not like that. However, this also somewhat comforts the "thirst" of fans after many months of BTS suspending group activities:

Since their debut in 2013 and nearly a decade later, there has never been a time when BTS members have had projects and promotional activities without all 7 members. Therefore, BTS has always existed as a group with the biggest overall influence in K-pop and created achievements that no one else has.

However, as the members approached the age of 30, the issue of m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service began to become a barrier. Military service is a must for BTS members in particular and kσrєαn men in general.

Although the members still try to do activities together, including variety shows or concerts around the world, this becomes more difficult when Jin is 30 years old. Therefore, last year, Bł₲ Ⱨł₮ Music and BTS members officially announced that the members would in turn carry out their m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ service plans. After that, Jin became the first member to enlist at the end of 2022.

It's been a difficult time for fans, but the BTS members have always made sure they don't keep fans waiting without any news. Since the announcement of the members promoting solo activities, there doesn't seem to be a month that the BTS members do not announce new products or new projects.

Even Jin took advantage of the rare opportunity to update the news from the m̷i̷l̷i̷t̷a̷r̷y̷ for ARMYs to see. However, that is not enough when fans have not seen BTS together with all 7 members for a long time, especially in projects. Despite knowing that it will not be possible for BTS to fully appear together until 2025, fans still expect some luck.

On April 14 (KST), that luck seems to have come. Even many people who are not ARMYs have been confused by trending phrases related to BTS on Twitter. While it's not uncommon for trends to be influenced by BTS, it's odd that the top phrases are about "OT7" and "BTS IS BACK".

This comes as it was announced that BTS has joined the upcoming 3D animated series Bastions as the artist performing the OST for the film. The song will be Bastions' title track and it has been announced to be performed by all seven members of the group.

Although the film's social media account only posted a 30-second teaser, it was enough to make netizens explode with Jungkook and Jimin's vocals. After the teaser was posted, it's not surprising that ARMYs couldn't contain their excitement and anticipation.

Many ARMYs also joked that when HYBE said BTS was returning in 2025 and anti-fans tried to shut them down, the group has been proving them wrong with so much content, whether as a group or individually:

- antis: bts disbanded. you’ll never see them working together again. all the 2025 promises are lie => and bts be like....

- IM GLAD WE'RE HAVING AN OT7 CB

- BTS: don't underestimate us

- BTS always shuts antis up

- LET'S GO !!! WE'LL NEVER HAVE A DROUGHT EVEN IN HIATUS...WE KEEP WINNING AS ALWAYS

- seeing "BTS IS BACK" in those trends a glimpse of 2025 YAWPPPP yall not getting rid of me anytime soon!

- First part got me hopefull

- Bts ain't ur faves they don't hate each other lol

- BTS making a comeback this year. Ready to end careers again.

- I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN THAT PHARRELL SAID HE WORKED ON A SONG WITH BTS

- bts always denying "one direction course" allegations

- waking up to the news that bts is back with an ot7 ost song, agust d radio every week on apple music and d-day documentary available on weverse

Not only that, but throughout the first quarter of 2023, ARMYs seem to be being treated to a lot of new content, including SUGA's solo album release and upcoming world tour. While the members may be focusing on solo activities due to the circumstances and with Jin enlisting, j-hope follows, it seems that ARMYs will always be treated to group content. .
