BTS Members Set to Wrap Up Military Service
South Korea's acclaimed band BTS members prior to their obligatory military service - BTS member, a South Korean singer, prepares for military enlistment prior to his service
Hear ye, hear ye! The K-Pop juggernaut that is BTS is taking a temporary breather, as four of its members gear up to complete their mandatory military service in South Korea. RM and V are scheduled for discharge on June 10, followed by Jimin and Jungkook the day after, as per reports from the Yonhap News Agency.
The agency kindly requested ARMYs (BTS fans) to keep their emotions in check and send their love from the heart rather than gathering at the discharge locations. No public fan events are planned due to security reasons.
South Korea, known for its strict conscription laws, mandates that all fit men serve between 18 and 21 months in the military. The members of BTS, who are in their late twenties and early thirties, have handled their duties admirably. Jin and J-Hope have already completed their military service, while rapper Suga is nearing the end of his alternative civil service stint, with an expected discharge date of June 21.

The military service had pushed BTS's comeback to at least the summer of 2023. The group had addressed rumors about disbandment in 2022 after they announced an extended break. However, the tip of the iceberg has been scraped off, as all BTS members are expected to wrap up their military service by June 2025.
