BTS ARMY, it’s time to smile again! Jimin and Jungkook are officially back after completing their mandatory military service, which lasted for 18 months. They were discharged on July 11, and right after that, they took time to connect with fans both online and offline. The duo even shared some adorable pictures from the BTS FESTA 2025 photo booth, giving fans a glimpse into their sweet return. Most recently, they dropped a special photo taken at the HYBE headquarters, with a message that made it clear—they’re ready to bring the ARMY back home, back to the heart of BTS.
After getting a warm and emotional welcome from the BIGHIT staff and their BTS brothers, Jimin and Jungkook took a cool mirror selfie, still in their military uniforms. It’s unclear whether they stayed back in the balloon-decorated room from the welcome celebration or returned later, but the result was a heart-stealing photo. Both of them looked effortlessly charming as they posed with V-signs. Jungkook’s tattoos were on full display, while Jimin’s sweet, soft smile had fans swooning all over again.
But what truly captured everyone’s attention was the message written on the mirror: “Don’t worry, I’m on my way to claim you back.” This wasn’t just a random quote—it was something Jimin had actually written on that mirror back in 2023. The fact that they chose to share this now feels very intentional, almost like a signal to the fandom that the boys are slowly making their way back, and they want ARMY right there with them. It was a touching reminder that BTS never really left—they’ve just been preparing for a powerful reunion.
And now, fans can’t get enough. During a recent Weverse live, Jungkook gave a tiny peek at a four-cut selfie he took with Jimin in the FESTA 2025 photo booth. That short glimpse was enough to send fans into a frenzy. Ever since, they’ve been flooding social media with requests, asking for the full photo strip in HD quality. The mirror selfie only added to the excitement, and now ARMY is more eager than ever to see those fun and playful booth pictures.
Fans have even started tagging BIGHIT MUSIC and BTS’s official X (formerly Twitter) account, begging for the photo drop. Comments like “I HOPE THEY POST IT OMG” are everywhere, showing just how loved and missed Jimin and Jungkook have been. With this much love pouring in, it’s safe to say that their return is already creating beautiful waves—and this is only the beginning.
