K-pop sensation BTS‘ agency issued an official notice warning against certain fan activities on the military discharge dates of members RM, Jimin, V and Jungkook. Of the seven members, Jin and J-Hope returned from their mandatory military obligations last year and have been actively pursuing solo schedules to keep the BTS ARMYs company until the septet reunites for good in 2025.
Just in time for their 12th debut anniversary, the group, featuring RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V and Jungkook, will be back together under one roof, paving the way for a highly anticipated K-pop milestone. Although Suga, who also goes by the alias Agust D, is scheduled to be released on a week after their anniversary on June 21, the younger members will be back just days before the June 13 festivities.
BTS members discharge dates
RM (Kim Namjoon) and V (Kim Taehyung) joined the 15th Infantry Division of the ROK Army and Special Duty Team (SDT) of the ROK Military Police, respectively on December 11, 2023. Given their same date of enlistment, the “4 O’Clock” sub-unit members will be discharged on June 10. Meanwhile, Jimin and Jungkook, both serving with the 5th Infantry Division of the ROK Army, will be back a day later on June 11.
