On this day, fans crave BTS's return more than ever because they haven't been able to see the members for a long time. This is also the first time in BTS's career there has been such a long hiatus.
A recent news from кσяєαn media is like cool water pouring on the dry desert that is the ARMYs' heart, announcing BTS's world tour. Although all news is just a prediction, based on these grounds, fans firmly believe that it can become a reality.
It also quickly became a hot topic on SNS and fans couldn't contain their excitement:
Over the past year, ARMYs as well as BTS have had to cope with the period when the 7 members could not stand on the same stage. This is a rare time during their decade of operation. Fortunately, BTS's achievements and fandom's cohesion filled the void of military service.
However, like any other fandom, ARMY looks forward to the reunion of the 7 members of BTS more than ever. With all of the BTS members currently serving in the military, ARMY is counting down the days until their return. While Jin will soon return to fans in June, the group members will need about another year to complete their military service.
Specifically, j-hope is reported to be discharged from the army on October 17, 2024 while the remaining members such as SUGA, RM, V, Jimin and Jungkook will not be discharged until June 2025. Well, looking at these timelines, ARMYs seem to feel sad because they still have to wait at least another year to see BTS's complete lineup. But there is surprisingly good news that ARMYs cannot ignore, posted by кσяєαn media recently: news about BTS's concert!
Recently, an article has attracted a lot of attention from ARMY when mentioning the possibility of HYBE launching a world tour next year for BTS members. Journalist Kim Young Moon wrote in Daily Hankook: "With NewJeans and BTS’s world tours to be expected next year, performance is confirmed to take a quantum jump."
Suddenly this news woke up fans when they realized that when the members were discharged from the army, they could hold a concert to meet their fans again. That's also what they aspire to mention before enlisting. Furthermore, not only did journalist Kim mention the group's concert next year, but several other кσяєαn media journalists also wrote about this in articles this morning. Researcher Lim also said to Asia Economics: “In 2025, the number of (HYBE) artists who can perform will be expanded further, the full lineup of BTS will return, and the break will be limited. The further you look at the continuous growth of (HYBE's) IP, the greater the growth potential."
Fans who saw this couldn't contain their excitement and couldn't wait for next year to come. This also makes fans feel that the 1-year waiting period is not too long for them, while Jin and j-hope returning one after another in the next few months also shortens the loneliness of ARMYs.
This topic was quickly discussed by fans and they expressed their readiness for the group's concert next year:
