They’re back. Or at least… almost all the way back. For ARMYs who’ve been counting down the days, the BTS military chapter is officially closing, and the world is bracing itself for what comes next. The past couple of years have been a weird mix of solo glow-ups, heartfelt letters, livestreamed goodbyes, and Jin saluting the nation with his signature smile. While each member’s enlistment felt like a punch to the gut, it also became a quiet flex, watching them thrive in their own lanes while always keeping the purple thread intact.
Now, with the full group slowly stepping out of camo and back into the limelight, anticipation is at an all-time high. But before we dive into exact discharge dates and possible reunion schedules, let’s talk about the vibe. The fandom is buzzing, the members are teasing, and HYBE’s calendar is suspiciously quiet. Something’s brewing and if you know BTS, you know they never do a comeback quietly. Whether it’s solo albums, cheeky Weverse lives, or cryptic social posts, the boys have kept us fed just enough to stay hungry.
So yes, the biggest group of this generation may have been on pause but this? This feels like the calm before a beautiful, chaotic, world-shaking storm.
Are all the BTS members discharged from the military?
BTS has officially entered the post-military chapter, and let’s just say, it’s been a journey. Jin kicked things off as the first to enlist back in December 2022, stepping into active-duty army life like the true hyung he is.
Fast forward to June 12, 2024, and he walked out of base with that signature Jin grin, free and ready for his comeback era. J-Hope followed suit in April 2023, also as an active-duty soldier. He wrapped things up on October 17, 2024, serving sunshine even in uniform.
Then came the power pack enlistments, RM and V went in together on December 11, 2023. RM joined the regular army while V chose the elite route, enlisting in the Special Task Force under the Capital Defense Command (yes, he really went there). They both clocked out on June 10, 2025, with fans buzzing over their return.
The very next day, on June 11, 2025, Jimin and Jungkook were discharged too. The two had enlisted together in December 2023, and yes, stayed side-by-side as active-duty soldiers until the end. We love some maknae-line coordination.
And now, all eyes are on Suga. He enlisted a bit differently, opting for social service due to his previous shoulder surgery. He began in September 2023, and his expected discharge on June 21, 2025, will finally complete the BTS military circle.
BTS Festa 2025: Who will be there?
BTS FESTA 2025 is officially here, and ARMYs everywhere are buzzing. Kicking off on June 1, this year’s celebration is extra special, it marks BTS’s 12th debut anniversary, and it’s all happening under the beautiful, symbolic theme of “Twelve O’Clock.” Inspired by their emotional track Zero O’Clock, the theme speaks to fresh beginnings, healing, and the long-awaited reunion energy now that most members are returning from military duty. While the festivities begin online with daily content drops — from photo collections to behind-the-scenes sketches — the main event is taking place June 13–14, and trust us, it’s shaping up to be iconic.
The party is at KINTEX Exhibition Center 2 in Goyang on June 13 and 14, 2025, specifically Halls 9 and 10. Doors open bright and early at 9 AM KST, with 20+ interactive booths welcoming fans from 10 AM to 7 PM. Expect everything from the ARMY Bomb light show zone to the Voice Zone (where you can hear heartfelt recorded messages from the members), a Trophy Room full of their legendary accolades, and even personal keepsakes inside the BTS Locker. DIY photo cards, coloring corners, Spotify playlist booths, and plenty more purple-themed nostalgia will be included.
As for member appearances? Jin and J-Hope are already in the mix, they’ve been leading FESTA content since Day 1 and will likely appear in person, especially with Jin’s special fan concert scheduled during the same dates. RM, V, Jimin, and Jungkook were just discharged on June 10–11, 2025, so their surprise presence at either FESTA or J-Hope’s Hope on the Stage finale (June 13–14) feels very possible. As for SUGA, he finishes service on June 21, so while he probably won’t be there live, fans are keeping an eye out for surprise digital dedications or pre-recorded content.
BTS FESTA 2025 isn’t just about reminiscing, it’s a massive, heart-tugging, energy-raising prelude to what could be BTS’s full reunion era. Between the offline magic in Goyang and the global online rollout, this isn’t just a party—it’s a promise: BTS is back, and they’re just getting started.
BTS OT7 era loading
With six members of BTS now discharged from military service, HYBE has wasted no time igniting anticipation for what’s next. The company’s headquarters in Seoul is glowing (literally) with massive “We Are Back” signs and digital displays, sending an unmistakable message: group activities are officially on the horizon. This public declaration, widely shared across media and fan accounts, signals more than a reunion, it’s the beginning of a new era.
According to multiple reports, HYBE’s top executives have already confirmed that preparations are underway, but they’re moving in phases. After a period of celebration and regrouping, the next steps will include music production, visual content, and likely rehearsals for large-scale performances.
While HYBE hasn’t locked in official dates, K-pop fan speculation is running wild. Many believe a full-group comeback album could drop in late 2025 while others expect a more polished rollout in early 2026. A world tour is also highly anticipated, with venues and cities rumored to be in early planning stages.
HYBE seems to be aligning its global infrastructure to support massive comeback operations. Whatever the final timeline, one thing is clear: BTS’s return as seven is no longer a question, it’s only a matter of time.
