BTS’s return in 2025 isn’t just about music – it’s a cultural moment set to reshape the global pop scene once again. As the countdown begins for BTS’s long-awaited full group comeback in 2025, ARMYs are buzzing with excitement. After a carefully staggered enlistment plan beginning in late 2022, all seven members will soon reunite – stronger, more seasoned, and artistically evolved.
Where Have They Been?
Jin, the eldest, enlisted in December 2022 and was discharged in June 2024. After the discharge, Jin released the ‘Happy’ and ‘Echo’ Eps. He also appeared in varies variety and talk shows.
J-Hope joined in April 2023 and was discharged in October 2024. Before enlistment, he released the critically acclaimed “Jack In The Box” and performed at Lollapalooza 2022. Post-service, he dropped “HOPE ON THE STREET VOL.1” in 2024 and launched a dance docuseries under the same name. J-Hope also released the “Sweet Dreams’ and ‘Mona Lisa” singles.
Suga started his alternative service in September 2023 as a public service worker due to a previous shoulder injury. Before enlisting, he held a solo world tour as Agust D, following his “D-Day” album. Suga, the last BTS member serving his mandatory military service, is slated for release in June 21.
RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook enlisted together in December 2023 and were released this month, June 10 & 11. Each member released solo projects before enlisting – RM’s “Indigo”, Jimin’s “FACE”, V’s “Layover”, and Jungkook’s global hit album “GOLDEN”, which included performances on major U.S. shows and charted worldwide.
Comeback & Musical Direction Theories
Fans speculate that BTS’s post-military return will be deeply reflective, genre-fused album, reflecting their solo growth. Some believe they may revisit the emotional depth of “Spring Day”, while also pushing bold, new themes of growth, healing, and brotherhood.
Given the success of solo albums like “D-Day” (Suga) and “Jack In The Box” (J-Hope), the group comeback might fuse each member’s evolved artistry. Industry insiders speculate BTS is preparing for a late 2025 or early 2026 group comeback, possibly paired with a global stadium tour.
ARMY also anticipates an emotional reunion anniversary-style concert jammed with fan-dedicated tracks and a documentary chronicling their journey through hiatus, military service, and reunion.
