The wait is almost over for BTS fans as four members—RM, Jimin, V, and Jungkook—are set to complete their mandatory military service this week. Their agency, BigHit Music, has confirmed the discharge dates and requested fans not to visit the military bases for safety reasons.
RM and V will be discharged on June 10, 2025, while Jimin and Jungkook will follow on June 11, 2025. No special events are planned for their discharge day, as the locations have limited space and overcrowding could pose risks.
“Please note that 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. Each location has very limited space, and overcrowding can pose safety risks.” — BigHit Music
Fans are encouraged to show their support online instead of gathering at the bases. The agency thanked ARMYs for their patience and love during the members’ service.
Military Service Details
RM (Kim Namjoon) enlisted on December 11, 2023, serving in the 15th Infantry Division of the South Korean Army.
V (Kim Taehyung) joined the same day and was assigned to the Special Duty Team (SDT) of the Military Police Corps.
Jimin and Jungkook enlisted on December 12, 2023, and trained at the 5th Infantry Division. Jimin received the Best Trainee award during basic training.
Once all members complete their service, BTS is expected to reunite and discuss future group activities. Jin and J-Hope have already returned, while Suga will be discharged on June 21, 2025, marking the full group’s return.
How Fans Are Celebrating
Despite no official events, fans worldwide are preparing to welcome the members back. Some have taken time off work, while others plan to watch old BTS content or stream their music.
“I took several days off from June 9-14 so I can see the live videos of Taehyung, Namjoon, Jungkook, and Jimin coming out of their military base. I don’t wanna miss anything lol.” — BTS fan on Reddit
Others are flying to Seoul to celebrate in person, while many will join online fan events. The group’s 12th debut anniversary (Festa) is also coming up, with offline events planned in Goyang city.
What’s Next for BTS?
With all members soon back, fans are excited about new music and possible tours. J-Hope previously hinted at quick discussions once everyone returns.
“We will quickly get together and talk about what we can do. I think it’s going to be a massive energy.” — J-Hope on Apple Music’s Zane Lowe show
While a world tour is expected in 2026, solo activities may continue in the meantime. Jin is set to start his solo tour, “RUNSEOKJIN_EP.TOUR,” this month.
BigHit Music has emphasized safety and respect for military protocols. Fans are asked to celebrate responsibly and look forward to official updates from the group.
