BTS fans have reason to celebrate as four of the group’s beloved members—RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—are nearing the end of their mandatory military service, according to an announcement on the BTS Weverse page on Saturday.
While the long-awaited discharge is a major milestone, HYBE made it clear there will be no public celebrations or gatherings. “Each location has very limited space, and overcrowding can pose safety risks. We place the safety of our artists and fans as our top priority, and sincerely request our fans not to visit the sites in person,” the company urged in its official statement.
The timing of the members’ return couldn’t be more symbolic, coinciding with BTS’ annual Festa celebration, marking the group’s debut anniversary, which runs until June 13.
“We are always grateful for your unwavering love and support for RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook. Our company will continue to put our utmost effort into supporting our artists,” the statement added.
With Jin and J-Hope already discharged and active in their solo careers, and Suga scheduled to finish his service last, BTS is expected to reunite later this year—reigniting excitement among ARMYs worldwide.
