BTS bandmates preparing for mandatory South Korean military service discharge
BTS's grand return is just around the corner as the quartet prepares to wrap up their mandatory military service, following the footsteps of the two members who completed their obligations last year. The band's leader RM, along with singer V, will be released on Tuesday, leaving just one member, SUGA, due for discharge on June 21.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting the band's return, with banners and heartfelt messages welcoming V back to civilian life. The excitement is palpable, with one banner reading, "Taehyung, let's never be apart again," while another gushes, "I'll follow only you, Taehyung. We are each other's strength." However, HYBE, the band's agency, has urged fans to avoid heading to the discharge location for safety reasons.
With all members signing new deals with HYBE in 2023, analysts predict the collaborative activities will have a positive impact on the K-pop industry, especially the company, despite the ongoing investigation against its chairman and a recent raid by authorities. HYBE's shares have seen a significant increase, indicating a rosy future for the pop titans.
Their reunion activities are slated to commence with the BTS FESTA 2025, which takes place on June 13-14 at KINTEX in Goyang. This epic event unfolds during the group's 12th anniversary, featuring a "Twelve O'Clock" theme inspired by their song "00:00 (Zero O’Clock)." The festivities include fan-centric activities like light shows, photo zones, and exhibition booths showcasing the group's achievements.
While the full group is yet to reunite, the reunion plans are well underway. As BTS embarks on their next chapter in the music industry, fans eagerly anticipate fresh music, tour announcements, and more mature content reflecting their growth as artists. It seems that 2025 will indeed be an extraordinary year for ARMYs worldwide!
