Military service is mandatory for most кσяєαn men, including celebrities such as K-pop idols and actors. In 2025, many male celebrities will finish their military service, including 5 members of BTS.
This is also the event that fans of the group are most looking forward to this year. RM, V, Jimin, Jungkook and SUGA are expected to complete their mandatory service in June this year.
Of which, RM and V are expected to complete their service on June 10. Next, Jimin and Jungkook will be discharged on June 11. SUGA will complete his alternative service as a social service agent on June 21.
Similar to fans, industry insiders also rated BTS at the top of the list of most anticipated artists in 2025. The group's comeback is expected to not only make the Kpop market more exciting but also positively affect many other fields.
The expectations of fans and industry insiders are increasing as there are only a few months left until their discharge. In particular, with j-hope's recent frequent appearances, he often receives many questions related to the situation of the group members.
During the live broadcast with ARMYs after the 2-night concert in Manila, j-hope shared some interesting things related to the BTS members.
"The members all seem to be doing well and doing their best in their own positions", he started.
He revealed a detail: "Being in the military is like that, you use your leaves sparingly... And when it's close to the end, there's a point when people take leaves a lot to exhaust their remaining leaves so... There's like 2 months left or so now? April, May, June..."
"Right it seems like it's about two months left. They're doing really good", he added.
BTS has a private group chat and the members often communicate with each other. That's probably why j-hope has been updating BTS members' recent situation and sharing it with fans to reαѕѕure them.
Previously, j-hope had touched fans through a short but sincere conversation with a reporter when he left кσяєα on the 11th for the Philippines.
When the reporter mentioned that "The members' discharge days aren't that far away", he quickly commented: "There’s only two months left, Time will pαѕѕ quickly".
Continuosly, the reporter even suggested j-hope to give "A word to the members". He replied: "Fighting! There's not much left!".
Besides j-hope, through a few interviews with Jin, letters or conversations of members in the military, fans clearly felt the members' eagerness and excitement for the reunion. It further increased fans' expectations when counting down the days of BTS's reunion.
Meanwhile, the group's last album as a full group was the compilation album "Proof" in June 2022. That means it has been 3 years since the BTS superstars went on hiatus due to military service.
Although their comeback is highly anticipated, they still need to be careful and have a plan to ensure that they meet the expectations of fans and the public. Therefore, Big Hit Music or Bang PD are still open when talking about BTS's group plans this year.
