The wait is finally over! BTS members V, RM, Jin, Jimin, Jungkook, J-Hope, and Suga are set to reunite as Kim Namjoon, Park Jimin, Kim Taehyung, Min Yoon-gi, and Jeon Jungkook are preparing to be out of their mandatory military service in a handful of days. The anticipation is palpable, and South Korea is gearing up to welcome their favourite boy band. BTS’s agency, BigHit Music, has been flashing the message "We are Back" across Seoul and has shared updates on what fans can expect of the days when BTS members will get discharged.
On the other side, the Purple Army is all in happy swing and has already begun celebrating with the special BTS FESTA 2025. This month-long event, which started on June 1, commemorates BTS's 12th anniversary. It’s not just a celebration of their journey but also a heartfelt tribute by their loyal fans. Here’s everything you need to know about this grand BTS reunion.
BigHit Music announced on Weverse that no special events are planned for the military discharge of Namjoon, Jimin, Taehyung, and Jungkook. The statement read, "Hello. This is BigHit Music. We are excited to bring you the news of RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook’s upcoming military discharge. Please note the discharge day is reserved for military personnel only. No special events are planned on the day of RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook’s discharge.”
They further requested that, “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."
BigHit Music shared with TenAsia, as quoted by Soompi, “RM and V will meet fans in Chuncheon, while Jimin and Jungkook will do the same in Yeoncheon. Instead of their respective bases, they will share brief messages and thoughts about their discharge at designated locations.” RM and V are set to be discharged on 10 June, followed by Jimin and Jungkook on 11 June. Suga's discharge is scheduled for 21 June. Further details regarding their fan interaction are yet to be shared.
BTS Festa 2025 began on June 1, celebrating the K-pop group’s 12th anniversary with a mix of unique digital and offline events. This year holds extra meaning as most BTS members have recently returned from military service, sparking anticipation for a special group reunion.
