BTS Comeback 2025: All Seven Members Are Returning Soon—Here’s What to Expect

BTS, the global pop phenomenon, is finally reuniting in 2025. With Jungkook and Jimin recently discharged and SUGA’s return just days away, the long-awaited full-member comeback is closer than ever. Here's how this new chapter will unfold—and why it matters far beyond the K-pop world.


What’s happening in June 2025?

June 2025 is not just another month for K-pop—it’s a reunion fans have waited years for. After a long chapter of individual enlistments, BTS is finally aligning once again. Jungkook and Jimin’s discharge on June 11 triggered a wave of celebration across the fandom. In less than two weeks, SUGA will complete his alternative service on June 21, officially ending the military hiatus era for BTS.

This moment marks the first time since late 2022 that all seven members will be available for joint activities. For ARMY, it’s the return of the group they’ve supported through solo releases, letters from the base, and years of countdowns. For the industry, it’s a reset—and perhaps the beginning of BTS V2.0.

Who’s already back—and who’s next?

Here’s how the military journey unfolded for each member:

  • Jin was the first to enlist and was discharged in June 2024. He’s already been spotted attending award shows and mentoring younger idols.
  • j-hope followed and returned in October 2024, quickly engaging with fans through live streams and variety appearances.
  • RM & V completed their service together, being discharged on June 10, 2025. Their quiet return was met with massive online buzz, especially for RM’s message hinting at “new beginnings.”
  • Jungkook & Jimin were discharged on June 11, 2025, just one day later. Both members have been low-key but are expected to re-engage soon.
  • SUGA, who served as a public service worker due to past injuries, will be officially discharged on June 21, closing out the group’s enlistment chapter once and for all.

Each member’s journey was different, but they all lead to the same destination: reunion. The excitement isn’t just about being back—it’s about being better, stronger, and together.

When BTS announced their enlistment, many—both in Korea and abroad—argued they deserved exemption for elevating the nation's image. And perhaps, they truly could have.

But instead, they chose to serve proudly and sincerely, without shortcuts, simply as citizens of South Korea. How could you not love such young men?


Why BTS's comeback matters more than ever

This reunion isn't just a return for fans—it’s a major reset for the global music scene. BTS has become more than just a K-pop group; they are a cultural and economic force.

Their absence was felt in streaming charts, social trends, and even corporate earnings. Now that the group is returning, expectations are sky-high—not only from ARMY but also from the entire music industry, investors, and cultural observers.

For South Korea, BTS’s full return also symbolizes the end of the so-called "military service barrier" in K-pop. It paves the way for how future global stars from Korea might handle national duty without losing global relevance.


When to expect new music or performances

While HYBE has not yet officially announced a group comeback date, industry insiders expect a new BTS album to be released in late 2025 or early 2026. This would mark their first full-group studio album since “BE” in 2020. With the recent discharge events aligning so closely, a massive world tour announcement might also be on the horizon.

Fans are also speculating that BTS may appear together for special events like the 2025 MAMA Awards, the 13th anniversary FESTA, or a surprise V Live broadcast later this summer. If there’s one thing BTS is known for, it’s delivering the unexpected—so eyes are on them constantly.


Global fan reactions and industry expectations

Fans around the world have already started trending hashtags like #BTSIsBack and #FullGroupReunion across X and Instagram. Concert ticket forums and fan merch shops are seeing a resurgence in traffic. Meanwhile, analysts note that HYBE’s stock value rose sharply after RM and V’s discharge, and it spiked again when Jungkook and Jimin returned—suggesting that investor confidence is closely tied to BTS’s group activity.

What lies ahead for BTS isn’t just a comeback. It’s the start of a new era—more mature, globally aware, and creatively ambitious. And for millions of fans worldwide, the countdown has truly begun.
