June 2025 has ushered in a deeply emotional and long-awaited chapter for K-pop fans worldwide, as BTS finally nears a complete reunion. After nearly two years of military hiatus, the return of all seven members is no longer a distant promise but an imminent reality. For ARMY, this month is not just symbolic—it’s history in the making. The excitement that’s building is rooted not only in BTS’ enormous global impact but also in the personal connection fans have maintained with each member throughout their time away.
Jin and J-Hope, the first to complete their service, have already rekindled the spark. Jin, discharged in June 2024, has slowly but steadily returned to the public eye, gracing variety shows and reconnecting with fans in his characteristically warm and grounded way. J-Hope, whose service ended in October 2024, dove straight back into music and performance, bringing his energy and artistry to the forefront once again with new releases and a solo tour that reminded the world of his unmatched stage presence. Their post-service re-emergence has not only soothed the long wait but also paved a hopeful path for the rest of the group.
Now, all eyes are on the remaining five members. RM and V are projected to be discharged by June 10, followed closely by Jimin and Jungkook on June 11. SUGA, whose public service role began in September 2023 due to a past injury, is expected to complete his duties by June 21. Although HYBE and BIGHIT MUSIC have remained silent on exact discharge dates, the timeline drawn from enlistment records has already sparked widespread celebration and an emotional countdown within the fandom. Every day in June feels like a step closer to something profoundly special.
The future for BTS, once fully reunited, feels charged with possibility. Their 12th debut anniversary on June 13 provides the perfect moment for reflection, nostalgia, and perhaps a major reveal. While fans hope for a commemorative release or a heartfelt message, many are also dreaming of a larger comeback—a new group album, a return to live stages, maybe even a world tour. The reunion isn’t just about music; it’s about presence, unity, and the continuation of a journey that has deeply shaped the lives of millions.
As BTS prepares to write their next chapter, the global K-pop landscape is bracing for another seismic shift. The boys are coming home, and with them returns a legacy that’s far from finished.
