BTS has finally concluded its military service and has taken the first step toward a complete reunion.
According to the music industry on the 19th, Suga (Min Yoon-gi) finished his last duty as a social service worker on the 18th, utilizing his remaining leave and effectively ending his service. While the official discharge date is scheduled for the 21st, he has practically completed all of his service.
Suga has been carrying out alternative service as a social service worker for about 21 months since September 2023. Big Hit Music noted, "There will be no official event on the day of discharge," urging fans to refrain from visiting the site and signaling a quiet return.
With this, all seven members of BTS have completed their military service and gathered together again. Jin and J-Hope were discharged last year, while RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook were discharged in succession on June 10 and 11, receiving enthusiastic cheers from fans.
After the end of military service, the presence of the complete BTS became immediately evident. On the 13th, during J-Hope's encore concert "HOPE ON THE STREET FINAL" held at Goyang Comprehensive Gymnasium, all members appeared on stage together, surprising fans. Jin and Jungkook joined as guests on stage, thrilling the audience, while RM, V, Jimin, and Suga enjoyed the performance from the audience, offering heartfelt support.
This scene was interpreted by fans as more than just 'support'; it ignited the signal for the reactivation of the complete BTS, generating a heated response. Comments from fans poured in, saying, "Now we're really coming together," and "Just seeing all seven together is overwhelming."
The members, who have faithfully completed their military service in their respective positions, plan to return to the global stage not only with a complete comeback but also with various projects. Although specific schedules have not been disclosed, there is high anticipation that the prologue of 'BTS Chapter 2' is imminent, as the members have expressed strong willingness for complete group activities several times.
