BTS Members Jimin, Jungkook Discharged From South Korean Military

BTS members Jimin and Jungkook were officially discharged from their mandatory South Korean military service on June 11, 2025, marking a major step toward the full reunion of the globally popular K-pop group. The duo, smiling and shy but grateful, thanked their fans and expressed their eagerness to resume group activities and show a "better version" of themselves. Their discharge follows that of fellow members RM, V, Jin, and J-Hope, leaving only SUGA still serving, with his return expected later in June. Both Jimin and Jungkook reflected on the challenges of military life, emphasizing the value of kindness toward soldiers and the respect they gained through shared hardships. The events drew large crowds of fans and media, with celebratory banners and a livestream planned for reconnecting with fans. The group's full reunion is anticipated around their 12th anniversary, signaling a hopeful new chapter for BTS after nearly three years of members completing their military obligations.
